DETERMINAZIONE DI PARAMETRI CHIMICI MEDIANTE TECNOLOGIA NIR (FOODSCAN™ DAIRY ANALYSER) IN CAMPIONI DI FORMAGGIO “CACIOCAVALLO PALERMITANO"

2012

The aim of the study was to evaluate the “Global Cheese” calibration for FoodScan ™ Dairy Analyser by Foss to determination chemical and nutritional characteristics of “Caciocavallo Palermitano” cheese: fat, protein, chloride, total solids and humidity. A total of 42 samples of “Caciocavallo Palermitano” were analyzed by two methods: FoodScan™ and the official chemical methods. The statistics used for the comparison of the methods showed a more than good capacity of analysis of the NIT method. Therefore FoodScan ™ is a valuable tool to support the activities of analysis of dairy products.

UTILIZZO DEL LATTODINAMOGRAFO PER LA VALUTAZIONE DELL’ATTIVITA’ COAGULANTE DI CAGLI IN PASTA ARTIGIANALI.

2013

The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of Formagraph to determine the milk clotting activity of animal Sicilian rennet pastes. Clotting time (r), curd firming time (k20) and curd firmness (a30) were measured during coagulation tests carried out with pasteurized cows’ milk. The rennet paste samples were collected in 11 dairy factories located throughout western Sicily. The factories produce two different pasta-filata cheese typologies, Caciocavallo Palermitano and PDO Vastedda della valle del Belìce, made with cows raw milk and ewe raw milk, respectively. Commercial liquid calf rennet Naturen and two industrial rennet pastes prepared from kid and lamb abomasums were used for compariso…

BATTERI LATTICI CON ATTIVITA’ ANTIBATTERICA ISOLATI DA FORMAGGI TRADIZIONALI SICILIANI

2013

The study was conducted on typical Sicilian cheeses made from raw cow milk (Caciocavallo Palermitano) and sheep milk (Vastedda della valle del Belice PDO e Pecorino PDO). Genotypic identification of the LAB isolates was carried out by 16S/23S rRNA sequencing. a total of 400 bacteria strains were isolated and genotypically identified as Lactobacillus spp., Lactoccoccus spp., Pediococcus spp., Leuconostoc spp., Enterococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. Evaluation of bacteriocin-producing LAB was investigated in vitro using the “spot on the lawn” method (2) aganist Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella enteritidis and Escherichia coli. Results showed a predominance of LAB sh…
