Nitrogen matter changes during ripening of semihard cheese based on milk protein coaggregates

Abstract

Cheeses made on milk protein coaggregate basis are different than traditionally made cheeses, in technological production process and sensory 120 days were: 12.98 mg %, 33.23 mg % 53.87 mg %, 92.28 mg % and 148.32 mg %. At the end of ripening period nitrogen content soluble in 5 % PTA was 11.43 times higher compared to the first day of ripening. Generally, it could be concluded that protein changes were very intensive during investigated ripening period. The most intensive changes occurred during the first 15 days of ripening.
