Influence of label and location of testing on acceptability of cream cheese varying in fat content
1995
The acceptability of low-, medium- and high-fat versions of a cream cheese to consumers was measured in different conditions by rating overall distance from ideal. The influence of label (unlabelled vs. commercial package) differed according to the cream cheese fat-level habits of the assessors and to the fat level of the product. In labelled testing, high-fat cream cheese was more highly accepted by high- and medium-fat users and low-fat cream cheese seemed to be further from ideal for high-fat users. The location of testing (home vs. laboratory) affected the rating of only the high-fat product: consumers are more severe on it at home than in the laboratory.
Influence of sugar and fat contents on preference for cream cheese: A preliminary study
1993
Abstract In order to assess the importance of fat and sugar in acceptability of semi-solid French cream cheese, 30 subjects gave a hedonic judgement, after consumption, for three formulations (150 g) varying in fat content which they were required to sweeten and for nine small previously sweetened samples (30 g). Subjects participated in five laboratory meals, cream cheese being the third part of a meal. After this period, the subjects filled out a questionnaire measuring attitudes, beliefs and intention of behaviour with regard to consumption of cream cheese. Sugar level had no significant effect on the hedonic judgement. However, the subjects added less sugar in the high fat cream cheese …
trans-C18: 1 Isomers in Cheeses Enriched in Unsaturated Fatty Acids and Manufactured with Different Milk Fat Globule Sizes
2008
International audience; Increasing the knowledge on dietary fat composition, mainly the minor components, will improve the nutritional value of foods and their labeling. In this study, we examined the trans-octadecenoic acid (C18:1) composition of Emmental cheeses enriched in unsaturated fatty acids (FA) and manufactured with milks produced by cows selected to produce small and large fat globules. The FA composition of the milks was not significantly (P > 0.05) different from the FA composition of the corresponding Emmental cheeses. Increasing the unsaturated FA content of the cheeses using dietary manipulations lead to an increase in the trans-C18:1 and changed their isomeric profiles. In …
Model cheese aroma perception is explained not only by in vivo aroma release but also by salivary composition and oral processing parameters
2017
This advance article is part of themed collection: Structure & Sensory.; International audience; The aim of the present paper was to determine, from four model cheeses differing in fat content and firmness and consumed by fourteen well characterised subjects, the respective impacts of in vivo aroma release, bolus rheology, chewing activity, mouth coating and salivary composition on dynamic aroma perception. The originality of the approach is that it considers all the parameters together and is able to evaluate their relative contribution using multi-block partial least square (MB-PLS) regression. The fruity aroma perception of the more hydrophilic compound (ethyl propanoate) was related to …
Identification of two additives, locust bean gum (E-410) and guar gum (E-412), in food products by DNA-based methods.
2004
Locust bean gum (E-410) and guar gum (E-412) are high molecular weight galactomannans used by the food industry as versatile food additives. The compounds, although chemically closely related, do not have the same functional properties when used in foods, and the substitution or unadvertised addition of either could change the desired qualities of the product. Analytical discrimination between E-410 and E-412 is technically difficult since they only differ in their galactose: mannose ratios, being 1 : 4 and 1 : 2 for locust bean gum and guar gum, respectively. A qualitative DNA-based method is reported for the authentication of additives E-410 and E-412 in finished food products (ice cream,…
The Occurrence and Dietary Exposure Assessment of Mycotoxins, Biogenic Amines, and Heavy Metals in Mould-Ripened Blue Cheeses
2020
The occurrence and dietary exposure assessment of 16 mycotoxins, 6 biogenic amines (BAs), and 13 metallic elements in blue-veined cheeses (n = 46) is reported. Co-occurrence of mycophenolic acid (&le
Roquefortine C occurrence in blue cheese.
2001
Several strains of Penicillium are used for the production of mold-ripened cheeses, and some of them are able to produce mycotoxins. The aims of the research were the determination of roquefortine C and PR toxin in domestic and imported blue cheeses, the identification of the penicillia used as starter, and the investigation of their capacity for producing toxins in culture media. Roquefortine C was always found in the cheeses at levels ranging from 0.05 to 1.47 mg/kg, whereas the PR toxin was never found. The identification of the fungal strains present in the domestic cheeses included Penicillium glabrum, Penicillium roqueforti, and Penicillium cyclopium in the Gorgonzola "dolce" and Peni…
Preliminary characterization of wild lactic acid bacteria and their abilities to produce flavour compounds in ripened model cheese system.
2007
Aims: The aim of this work was to preliminary characterize wild lactic acid bacteria (LAB), previously isolated during artisanal Pecorino Siciliano (PS) cheese-making for technological and flavour formation abilities in a model cheese system. Methods and Results: Twelve LAB were studied for the ability to grow at 10 and 45°C, to coagulate and acidify both reconstituted skim milk and ewe's milk. Moreover, the capacity of the strains to generate aroma compounds was evaluated in a model cheese system at 30- and 60-day ripening. Flavour compounds were screened by sensory analysis and throughout gas chromatography (GC)–mass spectrometry (MS). Most of the strains were able to grow both at 10 an…
Consumption of iogurt, low-fat milk, and other low-fat dairy products is associated with lower risk of metabolic syndrome incidence in an elderly med…
2015
Background: The association between consumption of dairy products and the risk of developing metabolic syndrome (MetS) is unclear. Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the associations between consumption of dairy products (total and different subtypes) and incident MetS in a Mediterranean population at high cardiovascular disease risk. Methods: We prospectively analyzed 1868 men and women (55–80 y old) without MetS at baseline, recruited from different PREDIMED (Prevenci´ on con Dieta Mediterr´ anea) centers between October 2003 and June 2009 and followed up until December 2010. MetS was defined according to updated, harmonized criteria. At baseline and yearly thereafter, w…
Importance of Sodium Nitrate in the Maturation Process of Gouda Cheese
2011
The aim of this study was to observe the dynamics of sodium nitrate during ripening, in was introduced in different amounts in the recipe. Sodium nitrate is the chemical compound also known as Chile saltpeter or Peru saltpeter, is used as an ingredient as a food preservative. Sodium nitrate should not be confused with the related compound, sodium nitrite. Sodium nitrate in the cheese gives a longer time of preservation (Moore J.C., 2010).
