摘要:
A method of producing a standard of identity cream cheese that is flowable at refrigerated temperatures is provided. The method includes providing freshly made or reheated standard of identity cream cheese at a temperature of at least about 150° F. The cream cheese is then cooled while at least intermittently shear mixing the cream cheese. At least some of the shear mixing is carried out while the cream cheese is at a temperature of 70° F. or greater. The flowable standard of identity cream cheese can be converted from a flowable state at refrigerated temperatures to a solid state at refrigerated temperatures by reheating the flowable standard of identity cream cheese to a temperature above 100° F., and cooling the cream cheese to refrigerated temperatures without mixing.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for directly using acid cheese whey and/or its by-products from conventional cheese production to make additional food products. More particularly, the present method provides an economical way to profitably utilize a traditional waste or by-product in the manufacture of cream cheese or other high-value added products without re-culturing, without combining with cheese curd, without neutralizing, and without the disposal or recycling costs common in the industry.

摘要:
A standard of identity cream cheese that is flowable at refrigerated temperatures (32° F.-45° F.). The cream cheese is made in accordance with federal standard of identity requirements and preferably includes moisture in an amount that is less than 55% by weight and at least about 33% fat by weight. The cream cheese further includes less than 3% salt by weight, about 4% to about 10% protein by weight, and about 1% to about 7% lactose by weight. The cream cheese is made by providing freshly made or reheated standard of identity cream cheese at a temperature of at least about 150° F. The cream cheese is then cooled to a temperature below 100° F., or preferably to a refrigerated temperature, and at least intermittently sheared with a mixing device during cooling.
