Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a process for producing a dairy flavour ingredient, with an intense dairy flavour and low pH especially suitable for flavouring dairy products which are produced by “rapid” dairy technologies. The process includes blending a dairy based protein with an acid producing producing bacteria, fermenting at ph
Abstract:
The invention is a process for producing flavour enhancing esters from dairy sourced mono-, di-, or triglycerides. The process is a transesterification reaction between the mono-, di- or triglyceride and an alcohol in an aqueous medium in the presence of an esterase selected for its high transesterification activity. The esters may be used for flavouring in a variety of food products, particularly dairy products such as cheeses.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a cheese flavour ingredient and an ingredient so prepared. The method comprises subjecting a protein in water mixture to proteolysis by a protease enzyme and to fermentation with a physiologically acceptable bacterium of one of the genera Enterococcus, Staphylococcus or Pseudomonas capable of producing a cheese flavour ingredient. The cheese flavour ingredient of the invention has a mixture of flavours and may be used as a component of balanced cheese-like flavour compositions. The present invention also relates to bacterial strains useful in the preparation of such an ingredient, these being Enterococcus faecium, Enterococcus faecalis, Enterococcus casselifavus, Staphylococcus simulans and Pseudomonas putida
Abstract:
Described are methods for retarding or inhibiting the breakdown of intact casein in cheese using high pressure treatments. Also described are methods of making processed cheese using pressure treated cheese.
