The studies was carried out to investigate ripening degree and functional properties of EMC produced with pancreatic protease and palatase ML. During production of EMC, the amounts of free amino acid and free fatty acid were increased with increasing the reaction time. The amount of total nitrogen(T-N) and water soluble nitrogen(WSN) were increased with increasing time. EMC had contents of 1.79eA T-N and 0.52o WSN at 60 min of hydrolysis time. SRI and FRI value had also a similar correlationship. On the gel filtration, 2 kinds of soluble proteining capacity was also shown in alkali solution. Furthermore the foaming stability had the same result as that of the solubility. The water absorption of EMC showed the highest level at pH 4.0 and 5.0.

This study was conducted to investigate biochemical characteristics of enzyme-added cheese base slurries during accelerated ripening. Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) soluble nitrogen of cheese base slurries increased rapidly during the first day of ripening and the rate of increase slowed down thereafter. Cheese base slurries showed lower level in the production of the nitrogen than Cheddar cheese slurries. Producctions of phosphotungstic (PTA) soluble amino nitrogen also showed similar trends as TCA soluble nitrogen. Electrophoresis revealed that all caseins in both cheese base slurries and Cheddar cheese slurries were hydrolyzed, but whey proteins in cheese base slurries were little hydrolyzed. Cheese base slurries produced free amino acids little more than half of Cheddar cheese slurries. Both slurries showed similar increasing trend in production of short-chain free fatty acids. The specificity of the fatty acids in the slurries was similar to that of natural ripened cheese. The results of this study showed that addition of enzyme was effective to accelerate cheese base ripening.
