Texture development during cheese ripening

Abstract

The texture of a cheese is determined primarily by its pH and the ratio of intact casein to moisture. The texture generally changes markedly in the first 1 to 2 wk of ripening as the hydrolysis of a small fraction of αs1-casein by the rennet to the peptide αs1-I results in a general weakening of the casein network. The relatively slow change in texture thereafter is determined mainly by the rate of proteolysis, which in turn is controlled largely by the proportion of residual rennet and plasmin in the cheese, salt to moisture ratio, and storage temperature. The rise in pH that occurs during ripening is also important in many cheese varieties. Cheese texture may be significantly changed by the use of coagulants other than chymosin, addition of neutral proteases, and incorporation of whey proteins. The stretching characteristics of natural cheese curd depend upon both its pH and the proportion of colloidal calcium phosphate that has been removed. Cheese containing residual coagulant loses stretchability very rapidly with age. Eye formation in Swiss-type cheese is dependent upon the cheese pH at the time of transfer to the hot room.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
