The safety and storage periods of various foods, including dairy products, can be affected by a variety of internal and external factors. Therefore, all foods have a risk of deterioration after storage for a certain period of time for many different reasons. Among dairy products, cheese is enriched in necessary nutrients; however, it can also easily undergo physical, chemical, and biochemical changes under various conditions. Therefore, the storage period of cheese is an important issue. If various factors that can affect the safety and storage period of cheese can be controlled, the safety of cheese can be preserved and its storage period extended. This review of the literature published on the issue summarizes various state-of-the-art technologies currently used to extend the storage period of cheese without affecting its quality. This basic data will inform future research concerning the storage period of various cheeses.

The purpose of this study was to improve the production of Mozzarella cheese analogues manufactured using mixtures of soy milk and concentrated raw milk by performing ultrafiltration (UF) and to assess the quality of these cheeses during a 30-day storage period at $4^{\circ}C$, relative to that of Mozzarella cheese manufactured with the traditional method. The solid consistency of Mozzarella cheese analogue prepared from milk mixtures was lower than that of cheese manufactured from raw milk or soy milk and increased during storage, which is considered to be the result of decreasing water levels, as well as with increasing soy milk concentrations. In the Mozzarella cheese analogue generated using the milk mixtures, the fat content decreased with increase in the soy milk concentration, while it decreased during the storage period. Lactose levels were lowest in cheese composed of soy milk or raw milk and processed by UF, and decreased during storage in cheese produced using milk mixtures. In milk mixtures containing soy milk, the protein concentration increased with increasing amounts of raw milk and did not change during the storage period. The water-soluble nitrogen compound level was similar between cheeses and increased only slightly during storage. The amount of non-protein nitrogen compounds was higher in the cheese analogue than in the control cheese and tended to increase during storage. Analysis of the physicochemical traits of the Mozzarella cheese analogue yielded the following results: During storage, titratable acidity levels increased while pH tended to decrease. After analysis using electropherograms, it was classified as ${\alpha}$-, ${\beta}$-, or ${\kappa}$-casein. The results of rheometry tests showed that in the Mozzarella cheese analogue prepared from milk mixtures, with raw milk concentrated by UF, increases in concentration rate lead to lowered hardness, elasticity, cohesiveness, and brittleness. When cheese was produced from milk mixtures and concentrated by UF, meltability increased as the concentration rate increased, although to an extent that was less than that observed for the control cheese, and tended to increase during storage. Sensory evaluation showed that the analogue cheese was much better than the control cheese in terms of formation, appearance, and flavor.

The objective of present study was to evaluate the effects of the application of chitosan and chitosan/whey protein on the chemical, microbial and organoleptic properties of Göbek Kashar cheese during ripening time (on 3^rd, 30^th, 60^th and 90^th d). Difference in microbiological and chemical changes between samples was found to be significant (p<0.05) during ripening period. Cheese samples with edible coating had statistically lower mould counts compared to the uncoated samples. Furthermore the highest and lowest mould counts were determined in control (4.20 Log CFU/g) and other samples (<1 Log CFU/g) at 60^th and 90^th d of storage. All samples exhibited higher levels of water soluble nitrogen and ripening index at the end of storage process. At the end of 90 day storage period, no signicant dierences in salt and fat values were observed among the cheeses studied. The edible coatings had a beneficial effect on the sensory quality of cheese samples. In the result of sensory analysis, while cheese C and the chitosan coated cheese samples were more preferred by the panellists, the chitosan/whey protein film-coated cheese samples received the lowest scores. This study shows coating suggests could be used to improve the quality of cheese during ripening time.

This study was aimed to compare the texture and sensory properties of Cream cheese and cholesterol-removed Cream cheese made from the whole milk powder (CRWMP) during storage at $7^{\circ}C$ for 4 wk. The cholesterol reduction by crosslinked ${\beta}$-CD was about 92% in CRWMP. In texture studies, hardness, gumminess, and chewiness had increased during the storage period of 4 wk in both cheeses, irrespective of treatment. In the sensory properties, cooked milk flavor was found to have decreased, whereas sourness had increased with increasing storage period of 4 wk in whole milk powder Cream cheese. On the basis of our results, we conclude that the cholesterol removal in CRWMP does not cause any adverse effect on the texture and sensory properties of Cream cheese made with whole milk powder.

본 연구에서는 비살균 원유로 제조되고 숙성실에서 60일 이상 숙성된 7가지의 다양한 Gouda 치즈의 미생물학적 안전성을 실험적으로 검증하기 위해서 저장기간 동안에 다양한 미생물학적 변화를 조사하였다. Cheese 1과 2는 전통적인 비살균 Godua 치즈에 있어서는 60일 저장기간 동안 Salmonella spp.는 전혀 검출되지 않았으며, E. coli는 20 day부터는 검출되지 않았다. 대장균군은 Cheese 1에서 40 day부터 검출되지 않았지만, Cheese 2에서는 60 day까지 검출되었다. Cheese 1과 Cheese 2는 비살균 Gouda 치즈이기에 약간의 차이는 있었지만 전반적으로 비슷한 경향을 보였다. Cheese 3(원유에 인위적으로 Salmonella spp.를 오염시킨 후 제조된 비살균 Gouda 치즈), Cheese 4(Cheese 3에서 kefir에서 분리한 DH5 유산균 첨가)와 Cheese 5(Cheese 3에서 kefir에서 분리한 DN1 유산균 첨가)에 있어서는 60일 저장기간 동안 Salmonella spp.의 저해가 관찰되었다. 특히 Cheese 4와 Cheese 5에 추가적으로 첨가된 Kefir에서 분리한 유산균 DH5와 DN1은 Cheese 3보다 유의적으로 Salmonella spp.의 저해를 보였다. Cheese 6(유산균첨가 없이 제조된 비살균 Gouda 치즈)에서는 저장기간이 길어질수록 유산균수가 다른 Cheese들에 비해서 유의적으로 낮게 나타났다. 그리고 Cheese 7(살균한 원유로 제조한 전통적인 Gouda 치즈)에 있어서는 대장균 및 대장균군, Salmonella ssp.는 거의 검출되지 않았고, 유산균은 다른 Cheese들보다 약간 높게 나타났다. 60일 숙성된 Cheese 1부터 Cheese 7까지의 모든 샘플에 대한 Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Clostridium perfringens, E. coli O157:H7 검사에서 모두 음성을 보였다. 향후 kefir에서 분리한 유산균 DH5와 DN1의 비살균 원유를 이용한 숙성치즈의 제조에 관한 연구가 필요하겠다. 본 연구에서 Salmonella spp.를 인위적으로 접종한 Cheese 4와 5에서 보여준 Salmonella spp.의 저해 효과는 비살균 원유를 이용한 숙성치즈의 제조에 보다 큰 안전성을 부여할 것이라 사료된다.

The objective of the present study was to compare the chemical and sensory properties of regular cream cheese (control) and cholesterol-reduced cream cheese manufactured using crosslinked ${\beta}$-cyclodextrin (${\beta}$-CD) or powdered ${\beta}$-CD. Crosslinked ${\beta}$-CD was made using adipic acid. The composition of cream cheese treated by the crosslinked ${\beta}$-CD was similar to the regular cream cheese. Approximately 91% of cholesterol-reduction was observed in the cheeses that were treated using ${\beta}$-CD, which was not significantly different between powdered vs. crosslinked ${\beta}$-CD treatments. Total amount of short-chain free fatty acids was significantly lower in both ${\beta}$-CD-treated cheeses than in the control cheese throughout the storage. The cheeses made by ${\beta}$-CD-treated cream produced much lower amounts of individual free amino acids than the control in all periods. Most rheological characteristics, except cohesiveness, decreased dramatically in the control compared with the cholesterol-reduced cream cheeses. In sensory attributes, both wateryness and spreadability in ${\beta}$-CD-treated cheeses were significantly higher than in the control during 8 wk storage. Sensory scores for sourness increased significantly in the control from 4 to 8 wk storage, however, those in the cream cheese made by crosslinked-${\beta}$-CD treated cream increased slowly during 8 wk storage, which was shown in the control during a 4 wk period. Therefore, the present study showed the possibility of cholesterol-reduced cream cheese manufacture.

The purpose of this study was to develop Mozzarella cheese analogues by using dairy products in the form of WPC 34, WPC 80, whey protein, demineralized whey powder, and lactose powder along with soy milk. Soy milk was separately blended with 5% WPC 34 (A), WPC 80 (B), DWP (C), WP (D), and LP (E) and also with 10% WPC 34 (F), WPC 80 (G), DWP (H), WP (I), and LP (J). Blending of soy milk and whey products showed that increase in the proportions of whey products (WPC 34, WPC 80, DWP, WP, and LP) led to increase in the protein, lactose, and SNF levels of the admixture. A decrease in fat content was observed for all cheeses prepared from mixtures, relative to those for the control cheese. The nitrogen content within analogue samples was higher than that in the control cheese and increased with increase in the proportions of whey products within soy milk. Higher water soluble nitrogen levels were observed in cheese prepared from whey-product-blended soy milk than in the control cheese. The non-protein nitrogen level within the control Mozzarella cheese was significantly lower than that in the Mozzarella analogues, and, in the case of cheese analogues, it increased with increase in the proportion of whey products in soy milk. With regard to the physicochemical and sensory qualities of the Mozzarella cheese analogues and control cheese, the pH of all analogue samples, with the exception of the cheese prepared from group G, was lower than that of the control Mozzarella cheese. Rheological studies showed that the hardness of Mozzarella cheese analogues was lower than that of the control Mozzarella, while the elasticity, cohesiveness, and brittleness of the analogues was higher. The control sample had a higher meltability level than any of the Mozzarella analogues. Mozzarella cheese prepared with the traditional method had higher browning and stretching levels than all the cheese analogues, but a lower oiling-off level.

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.

Spiking experiments were conducted with Camembert cheese made from raw milk, to assess the microbiological safety of raw milk cheese aged for more than 60 days. We spiked Escherichia coli O157:H7 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). There were no significant differences in pH and water activity (aW) between uninoculated cheese and cheese samples inoculated with E. coli O157:H7 (p<0.05). The pH and aWof the Camembert cheese decreased throughout the storage period. In conclusion, E. coli O157:H7 did not affect the pH and aW of the cheese samples. Cell counts were conducted 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.
