The effect of ovine and bovine milk on the textural properties of Lighvan cheese during ripening

Abstract

The effect of milk origin on the physicochemical characteristics, microstructure and texture of Lighvan cheese was investigated over a 90-day ripening period. Besides fat, other physicochemical properties of Lighvan cheese were affected by milk type.The moisture content of Lighvan cheese decreased when half or all the ovine milk was substituted with bovine milk. The Lighvan cheese's microstructural properties and porosity were affected by type of milk and ripening time. Compaction of cheeses manufactured from ovine and mixed ovine and bovine milk is similar, and more than that of bovine Lighvan cheese. Ovine Lighvan cheese is harder and less brittle than bovine and mixed bovine and ovine.

Investigation on the microstructural and textural properties of Lighvan cheese produced from bovine milk fortified with protein and gum tragacanth during ripening

“…Results from control cheese sample produced from bovine milk with no additive and traditional Lighvan cheese sample manufactured from raw sheep cheeses were picked up from our previous studies (Aminifar et al . , ). As production of our samples was carried out simultaneously with the previous study (Aminifar et al .…”

“…Effect of total or partial substitution of ovine milk by bovine milk on texture and microstructure of Lighvan cheese was investigated (Aminifar et al . ).…”

“…Textural properties of ovine Lighvan cheese were affected by substitution of bovine milk (Aminifar et al . ). Ovine milk contains higher total solids, fat, solid nonfat, protein and casein, than bovine milk (Jenness ).…”

The Effect of Fenugreek and WPI on Release of Aromatic Acids from Shiraz Cheese ― Iranian Traditional Cheese Produced from Bovine Milk

“…The pH of all samples was decreased during the storage due to lactose fermentation [10]. The pH of samples was not affected by addition of fenugreek and WPI.…”

“…Aroma release from cheese matrix after 30 days of ripening was evaluated with [10] method. For all extractions, DVB/CAR/PDMS[divinylbenzene/carboxen/polydimethylsi loxane] fiber, 50/30 μm film thickness bonded to a flexible fused silica core (Supelco), was used.…”
