Peptide Profile of Low-Fat Edam Cheese
(Scientific Technical Research Council Turkey, 1998) Kucukoner, E; Haque, ZU
Low-fat Edam cheese was manufactured using conventional cheese-making procedures using low-fat milk(1.5% fat). The cheese samples were aged for six months at 5 to 6 degrees C. The cheese was analyzed for biochemical characteristics and peptide content. The peptide contents were determined with reverse phase chromatography. The association property of proteins and peptides in the soluble fraction of the cheese was determined using hydrophobic interaction chromatography. The overall peptide quantity increased with age with a marked increase in hydrophobic peptide content.
Physico-Chemical and Rheological Properties of Full Fat and Low Fat Edam Cheeses
(Springer-verlag, 2003) Küçüköner, E; Haque, ZU
Low fat (17% fat) and full fat (27% fat) Edam cheese manufactured and aged up to 6 months at 5 degreesC were studies. The objective was to investigate the impact of fat on the physico-chemical and rheological properties of Edam cheese. Total soluble nitrogen in aqueous extract (TNAE), protein nitrogen in aqueous extract (Pro-NAE) and peptide nitrogen in aqueous extract (Pep-NAE) were determined by the Kjeldahl method. Low fat Edam (LFE) had markedly higher Pep-NAE than full fat Edam (FFE). The rheological properties were determined using an Instron Universal Testing Machine. LFE had significantly higher stress values than FFE, indicating hard and rubbery texture. Furthermore, LFE had lower strain values indicating crumbliness.
