Surface mould ripened soft cheeses such as Camembert are characterized by the presence of a felt-like coating of white mycelia due to the growth of Penicillium camemberti at the surface. The presence of this mould gives these cheeses a different appearance, as well as a typical aroma and taste. It also lead to a more complex ripening than in other varieties of cheese with simple flora. Theses cheeses are becoming increasingly popular with consumer and there is an increasing demand for them.

Although the USA, Canada, and several EU countries allow raw milk cheese to be aged more than 60 days, these countries have strict standards for its aging conditions, such as temperature. Many developed countries have employed standards of identity which effectively prevent the manufacture and sale, of cheese made from unpasteurized milk (i.e., raw milk) in interstate commerce, unless such cheese has been aged for a minimum of 60 days. The microbiological safety of raw milk Camembert cheese, aged for more than 60 days, was evaluated using spiking experiments. We spiked Listeria monocytogenes into raw milk with different inoculation levels (high, medium and low). Camembert cheese was prepared from the inoculated raw milk, then aged in an incubator for up to 9 weeks (63 days). The number of cells was determined every week using the agar-plating method. Inoculated cells were completely eliminated, especially in Camembert cheese, after 60 days, and the reduction rate of cells was much faster in Camembert cheese. There were no significant differences in pH and water activity (aW) between the uninoculated cheese and the cheese samples in which Listeria monocytogenes was inoculated (p<0.05). The pH and aW of the Camembert cheese decreased throughout the storage period. In conclusion, the pathogenic bacteria used in this study did not affect the pH and aW of the Camembert cheese samples.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of different types of $\beta$-cyclodextrin ($\beta$-CD) treatments on chemical and sensory characteristics of cholesterol-reduced cream cheese. The cholesterol removal rates were 92.0% in cream cheese treated by powder $\beta$-CD, and 82.6% in cream cheese treated by crosslinked $\beta$-CD. Amounts of short-chain fatty acid and free amino acids were significantly lower in cream cheese made by crosslinked $\beta$-CD-treated milk, especially after 2 weeks storage, compared with those of no $\beta$-CD-treated control and cream cheese made by powder $\beta$-CD treated milk. Among rheological properties, cohesiveness was significantly higher, and gumminess in cream cheese made by crosslinked $\beta$-CD-treated milk was slightly lower than others. In sensory analysis, no difference was found in texture among treatments, while bitterness was lower in the early stage of storage, and overall quality was higher score, in cream cheese made by crosslinked $\beta$-CD-treated cream at 3 and 4 week storage, compared with those in control and powder $\beta$-CD-treated group. The present study indicated that crosslinked $\beta$-CD treatment resulted in an efficient cholesterol removal rate over 80% and a deceleration of ripening, which may provide a longer shelf life without significant adverse effects in chemical and sensory properties.

Commercial food grade porcine-pancreatic lipase was incorporated into cheese at two different levels of concentration and ripened at $7^{\circ},\;13^{\circ}\;and\;21^{\circ}C$ Gas chromatographic analysis showed that the pancreatic lipase-treated cheese produced significantly higher levels of short-chain free fatty acids than controls. At $21^{\circ}C$ the high level of pancreatic lipase-treated cheese produced medium flavor cheese at 1 wk and close to sharp flavor cheese at 3 wk without causing distinctive defects. The low level of pancreatic lipase-treated cheese developed a number of good quality cheese. They were roughly equivalent to medium and sharp cheeses when ripened at $7^{\circ},\;13^{\circ}\;and\;21^{\circ}C$ for 3 to 15wk. Statistical analyses indicated that there were significant correlations between aged Cheddar flavor and the concentration of c6 as individual short chain free fatty acids (FFA) or C4 and C6 FFA combinations. Pancreatic lipase may be applicable for the accelerated ripening of Cheddar cheese if appropriate conditions are used.

This experiment was carried out to examine sensory testing for Mozzarella cheese, process cheese, Cheddar cheese and Cheddar cheese made with red pepper, garlic, ginger and welsh onion to develop new cheese varieties which can be prefered by Korean. The chemical composition and sensory testing of cheese were measured. The results were summarized as follows ; 1. Total nitrogen percentages in Cheddar cheese and spiced Cheddar cheeses were similar but those in process cheese and Mozzarella cheese were low. 5% NaCl soluble nitrogen percentages were highest in Cheddar cheese. 5% NaCl soluble nitrogen percentages in each cheese were different. Ripening degree, water soluble nitrogen, TCA soluble nitrogen and SSA soluble nitrogen percentages in each cheese were similiar level. 2. Spiced Cheddar cheeses were more breakdown than other cheese and ${\alpha}_s$-casein breakdowns faster than $\beta$-casein. 3. In the result of sensory evaluation, color score was high in Mozzarella cheese and process cheese. The color score of Cheddar cheese was high in 30's-40's and 50's- 50's. The color score of 10's and 20's was high in Cheddar cheese made with garlic. 4. Odor score was high in Mozzarella cheese and process cheese, too. The odor score of Spiced Cheddar cheeses was high in 10's. 5. Texture score was high in Mozzarella cheese, process cheese and Cheddar cheese. 6. Teste score was high in Mozzarella cheese, process cheese and Cheddar cheese. The taste score of spiced Cheddar cheese was higher in 10's and 20's than that in 30's-40's and 50's-50's.

It has been investigated that preparation of cheese-like product from defatted soybean milk and changes during 6 weeks' ripening. Obtained results were as follows: 1. Defatted soybean milk was fermented at $37^{\circ}C$ for 4 hours with Streptococcus lactis YUFE L-4 without addition of any other carbon sources. 2. Optimum concentration of coagulant such as $MgCl_2{\cdot}6H_2O$ and $CaCl_2$ were 0.0125M and 0.0375M, respectively. 3. Coagulating time for 30 minutes was sufficient to make curd. 4. Optimal reaction temperature for coagulating were $50^{\circ}C$. 5. After 6 weeks' ripening, moisture content was approximately $62{\sim}63%$. Water and 10%-TCA soluble nitrogen contents of soybean cheese with Asp. saitoi protease were higher than those of Mucor rennet. Water soluble nitrogen content of Asp. saitoi protease cheese was 50.5% and 10%-TCA soluble nitrogen was 27.5%.

Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of dietary zinc supplementation of Friesian cows on chemical-nutritional and aromatic properties of Caciocavallo cheese after 7 days (C₇) and 120 days (C₁₂₀) of ripening. Methods: Twenty eight Friesian cows, balanced for parity, milk production and days in milk, were randomly assigned to 2 groups. The control group (CG) was fed with a conventional complete diet, while the experimental group (zinc group, ZG) received a daily zinc supplementation of 60 mg for kg of dry complete feed. During the experimental period, the milk yield was monitored and samples of milk and caciocavallo cheese were collected and analyzed for chemical-nutritional composition and aromatic profile. Results: The enrichment of dairy cows diet with zinc, did not influence milk yield and composition, however a marked reduction of somatic cell count was evidenced. Both in milk and cheese the ZG samples were characterized by a lower concentration of satured fatty acids and an increase in oleic, vaccenic and rumenic acids. The aromatic profile of dairy products was also positively affected by dietary zinc intake, with an increase in concentration of carboxylic acids, esters and lactones. Conclusion: The present results suggest a positive role of dietary zinc intake in improving the quality of bovine milk and related cheese, in particular for the increase in concentration of bioactive fatty acids such as rumenic acid. The changes evidenced in cheese through the analysis of the volatile profile, would be consistent with the development of interesting organoleptic properties, although further evaluations should be performed to confirm the consumer acceptability of these changes.

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) play an important role in dairy fermentations, notably as cheese starter cultures. During the cheese production and ripening period, various enzymes from milk, rennet, starter cultures, and non-starter LABs are involved in flavor formation pathways, including glycolysis, proteolysis, and lipolysis. Among these three pathways, starter LABs are particularly related to amino acid degradation, presumably as the origins of major flavor compounds. Therefore, we used several enzymes as major criteria for the selection of starter bacteria with flavor-forming ability. Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis LDTM6802 and Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris LDTM6803, isolated from Korean raw milk and cucumber kimchi, were confirmed by using multiplex PCR and characterized as starter bacteria. The combinations of starter bacteria were validated in a miniature Gouda-type cheese model. The flavor compounds of the tested miniature cheeses were analyzed and profiled by using an electronic nose. Compared to commercial industrial cheese starters, selected starter bacteria showed lower pH, and more variety in their flavor profile. These results demonstrated that LDTM6802 and LDTM6803 as starter bacteria have potent starter properties with a characteristic flavor-forming ability in cheese.

Psychrotrophs producing protease were isolated during ripening periods of Cheddar cheese and one of them containing the highest protease activity was identified as Pseudomonas fluorescens 65. The extracelluar proteolytic enzyme was partially purified from P. fluorescens 65 through the Sephadex G-100 gel filtration. The protease was eluted between 190 ml and 230 ml of elution volume of sodium phosphate buffer. The purified protease showed a single band in SDS-PAGE and its molecular weight was 47,000. The composition of amino acid for the protease was determined and the most abundant amino acids were glutamic acid (14.96%) and serine (13.86%). The optimum temperature and pH for the activity was $45{\sim}50^{\circ}C$ and 6.0, respectively.

Since 2018, the production and sales of ram-milk cheese ripened for over 60 days has been permitted in South Korea. Hence, this study aimed to examine the microbiological changes in 7 different types of Gouda cheese. During the aging period, traditional raw-milk Gouda Cheeses 1 and 2 did not contain Salmonella spp. during the 60-day storage period and no E. coli after 20-day storage. Coliform bacteria were not detected in Cheese 1 after 40 days; however, they were detected in Cheese 2 up to 60 days. Salmonella spp. were inhibited during the 60-day storage period in Cheese 3 (Salmonella spp.-contaminated raw-milk Gouda cheese), Cheese 4 (Cheese 3 contaminated with lactic acid bacteria DH 5 isolated from Kefir) and Cheese 5 (Cheese 3 contaminated with lactic acid bacteria DN1 isolated from Kefir). In particular, inhibition of Salmonella spp. was more prominent in Cheese 4 and Cheese 5 than in Cheese 3. During 60-day storage, Cheese 6 had a significantly reduced lactic acid bacteria. Furthermore, in Cheese 7, E. coli, E. Salmonella ssp. were rarely detected, and lactic acid bacteria were slightly greater in Cheese 7 than in other cheeses during the 60-day period. Moreover, all samples from Cheese 1 to Cheese 7 were not contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Clostridium perfringens, and E. coli O157:H7.
