Determination of Proteolysis in Cheese

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingsChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Most cheeses are ripened for a period from 2 weeks (e.g., Mozzarella) to 2 or more years (e.g., Italian Grana-type cheeses and extra-mature Cheddar). Biochemical changes which occur in cheese during ripening are usually grouped into one of three broad headings: Most cheeses are ripened for a period from 2 weeks (e.g., Mozzarella) to 2 or more years (e.g., Italian Grana-type cheeses and extra-mature Cheddar). Biochemical changes which occur in cheese during ripening are usually grouped into one of three broad headings: Proteolysis a • nd amino acid catabolism • Lipolysis and fatty acid metabolism • Metabolism of residual lactose and of lactate and citrate.
