Sensory analysis: methodological aspects relevant to the study of cheese
Bien que certaines caracteristiques sensorielles puissent etre apprehendees par des mesures instrumentales, la methode la plus directe, a savoir celle utilisant l'homme comme instrument de mesure, reste la plus exacte. La mesure instrumentale ne peut s'y substituer que si les donnees ainsi obtenues sont bien correlees aux donnees sensorielles. Dans ce texte, les differents aspects de la mise en place et de la realisation des essais sensoriels visant a obtenir une description des produits sont exposes. L'attention est attiree sur les procedures et precautions necessaires pour l'obtention de mesures sensorielles fiables, condition indispensable a la reconnaissance de l'analyse sensorielle com…
Effect of the association of surface flora on the sensory properties of mould-ripened cheese
Summary - In cheese, flavour and taste are, in great part, generated by the starters during the ripening stage. Proteolysis and lipolysis are the first steps of the elaboration of a large number of taste and odour compounds directly invol ved in the sensory quality of cheeses. The pathways used by the microorganisms to produce flavour compounds are still unclear in many cases. It would be useful for the starter-producing industry to have screening criteria permitting diversification of the starter quality, and for the cheese industry to know which strain to associate to obtain cheeses with specifie sensory properties. The production of experimental cheeses with different associations of sur…
