This study focused on investigating the influence of 4 different packaging materials (A - the control, B - polymer emulsion, C - wax and D - polymer foil) on the quality of Kashkaval cheese. The lowest pH value had the sample protected by wax, which is most probably related to the retention of the formed organic acids and gases from the packaging material. A significant influence of the tested packaging materials (p<0.01) was found in relation to the content of the dry matter, the proteins and ash, whereas there was no statistical significance in relation to fat content of the Kashkaval cheese. Proteolysis was more intensive samples protected by wax and polymer foil with higher levels of soluble nitrogen, primary and secondary nitrogen products and ripening coefficient compared to the control sample and the polymer emulsion sample.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
