Abstract

Hard cheese product of the cheddar type comprising live Str. thermophilus and at least one of L.bulgaricus, L.helveticus and L.casei and process for making same. <Fig.1>

Description

LODGED Hard Cheese product and process The invention relates to a hard cheese product of the cheddar type and to a process for manufacturing it.
A multitude of cheddar cheese making processes is known, all resulting in a similar type of cheese product. Within a broad range both taste and mouthfeel of the cheeses obtained by these processes are generally the same.
There is a continuing need for cheese products having novel tastes and mouthfeels c structures, different from those of known cheddar type cheese. Moreover this invention aims at shortening the period required for the cheese to develop an acceptable taste or maturity.
In particular this invention aims at improving the taste and texture of filled cheddar cheese, i.e. cheddar cheese in which at least part of the milk fats has been replaced by fats of other origin, especially vegetable fats. In this description and claims the expression fats is intended to comprise both fats and oils and mixtures thereof, irrespective of the melting points thereof.
For satisfying these aims the invention provides a hard cheese product of the cheddar type comprising live Str.thennophilus and at least one of L.bulgaricus, L.helveticus and L.casei.
Particularly this cheese product comprises 105-10'°/g Str.thermophilus and 102 106/g Lactobacilli. —z-— ...........................- ......
The presence of the above mentioned cultures is particularly effective in filled cheddar cheese, i.e. cheddar cheese comprising non-dairy fats and in particular OPEN TO PUB; ‘NSPECTION UN: tR SECTION 28 AND RULE 23 JNL No. .i.t.TS' OF ‘G> r 9 5 Ο 4 « 4 F /232 (V) vegetable fats. For obtaining the required texture and mouthfeel preferably 120 to 380g vegetable fat is present per kg cheese product.
Oiling out of the vegetable fat is largely or entirely prevented if the total amount of 5 vegetable fat present in the cheese product has an N20 of 10 to 55, i.e. a solids content at 20°C of 10 to 55% of fat phase.
The invention also relates to processes for making the cheese product as described before, comprising a usual cheddar making process wherein next to a cheddar culture additionally Str.thermophilus and at least one of L.bugaricus, L.helveticus and L.casei is added. Preferably the additional addition is effected as live yoghurt in a relative amount of 0.025 to 0.5% and in particular of 0.05 to 0.3%. Instead of this addition a DVS culture may be added in a relative amount of 0.002 to 0.01% and preferably of about 0.003%.
For preparing the cheddar cheese product the cheese milk may be a filled milk, preferably comprising vegetable fat.
The invention will be illustrated with the following examples describing some embodiments thereof. Parts and percentages relate to weights, unless otherwise defined.
Example I Natural cow’s milk is pasteurised at 72°C for 15 seconds and cooled down to 32°C.
Thereafter usual amounts of cheddar cultures and rennet are added, but in addition also 0.1 % yoghurt. The other process steps - comprising wheying off, cheddaring, salt addition, milling, moulding and pressing - being as usual for cheddar making. After maturing for 16 weeks a cheddar like cheese is obtained which as regards taste and mouthfeel is preferred over a similar cheddar cheese of the same age made without yoghurt addition on testing by a trained panel.
Example II The process of Example I is repeated using skim milk standardised to a fat/protein ratio of 1.2:1 with two different types of vegetable fat of different solids content.
The one type of fat has an N20 of 52 and the other of 15.
Again the 15 weeks ripened products made with yoghurt are distinctly preferred over products made in a similar way however without yoghurt addition as is apparent from figure 1. This figure shows a bar diagram of scores made by a trained panel assessing the attributes texture, flavour and overall score on a 0 to 5 scale, 5 being optimal. Figure 2A shows the log counts of Str.thermophilus and figure 2B the log counts of L.bulgaricus of milk (A), curd (B), unmatured cheese (C) and 16 weeks matured cheese (D) comprising either the hard fat blend of N20 = 52 or the soft fat blend of N2(, = 15. From these diagrams can easily be concluded that the bacteria are surviving in the cheese during ripening.
Example III The process of Example II is repeated using 0.003% yoghurt DVS culture, comprising a frozen pelleted concentrated yoghurt culture, containing Str.thennophilus and L.bulgaricus, instead of yoghurt in filled milk comprising a hard fat blend of N20 = 52 in the same concentration as in Example II. The product obtained thereby is similar to that of Example II. This product, after allowing to ripen for 15 weeks, is tested by a trained panel against a similar cheese made without DVS culture using a 0-5 score, 5 being optimal. The results of this test are summarized in figure 3, the bars representing the panel scores for taste, texture and overall rating respectively.
For showing the survival of the bacteria during ripening Log counts of Str.thennophilus and of the Lactobacili strain as added of milk (A), curd (B), unmatured cheese (C) and cheese ripened for 16 weeks (D) are represented in the bar diagrams of figure 4A and figure 4B respectively.
