Abstract
Chemical and physical analyses of cheese are required to objectively assess cheese ripening. Statistical Multivariate Analysis of HPLC and free amino acid data for each of 60 Cheddar cheeses, varying in age and quality, were used to objectively classify the cheeses according to maturity, flavour quality (defective or not) and texture. Additional information was obtained from compositional analysis and gel electrophoresis. The total concentration of free amino acids was more effective than HPLC analysis for discriminating between mild, mature and extra-mature Cheddar cheeses whereas HPLC discriminated more effectively between defective and non-defective.
