Abstract

The object of this study was to investigate the possibility of using xanthan gum and flaxseed mucilage as edible coatings for Cheddar cheese during ripening for 90 days. Five samples of Cheddar cheese blocks were coated with different coating materials in triplicate as follows: Coated with polyvinyl acetate as control (C), coated with 0.5% xanthan gum (XG), coated with 0.75% flaxseed mucilage (FM1), coated with 1% flaxseed mucilage (FM2), and coated with 1.25% flaxseed mucilage (FM3). All samples were kept at 8 ± 2 °C in a cold room for 90 days. The statistical analysis of the results showed that the moisture content of the samples decreased and the protein content increased during the ripening period (P < 0.01). The pH, acidity, fat in dry matter, and TCA-SN/TN of samples were significantly affected by xanthan gum and flaxseed mucilage treatment (P < 0.01). The free fatty acid composition of samples was significantly affected by edible coatings. Edible coatings affected the growth of non-starter lactic acid bacteria and the total mesophilic aerobic bacteria in a non-significant manner (P > 0.01). The growth of starter bacteria was significantly altered under the effect of edible coating materials (P < 0.05). Tyrosine and tryptophan contents as an index of proteolysis, lipolysis, and sensory evaluation of samples were not significantly different.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • As the moisture content of samples decreased throughout the maturation of Cheddar cheese, the fat content of Cheddar cheese increased due to lipolysis, accompanied by a physicochemical process during the maturation period.

    “Since the moisture content of samples were decrease throughout the maturation of Cheddar cheese, the fat content of Cheddar cheese was increase due to lipolysis, accompanied by a physicochemical process on Cheddar cheeses during maturation period (Soleimani-Rambod et al. 2018).”

    From Optimizing the acceleration of Cheddar cheese ripening using response surface methodology by microbial protease without altering its quality features (2021) · cites this paper as Soleimani-Rambod et al. 2018

    Section 3.1 (Cheese Composition) confirms that moisture decreased during ripening and fat in dry matter increased. But it says lipolysis decreased lipid levels and that the amount of fat remained at its initial level—not that fat content increased because of lipolysis. (LLM, conf=0.88)

    Checked by a reasoning model — may be wrong.

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.
