摘要: Dutch-type cheeses, with Gouda and Edam cheese as major representatives, are semihard, sliceable, shreddable cheeses. Their typical composition is 40–52% fat in dry matter 55–63% moisture unripened fat-free cheese, pH 5.2–5.4. Characteristic features of their production technology the use pasteurized cow's milk mixed-strain mesophilic starter cultures, renneting a chymosin preparation, cutting coagulum at moderate gel strength. By washing/scalding curd temperatures, while still high, contents moisture, lactate, minerals adjusted. cheeses brine-salted, coated, naturally ripened for 4–6 weeks up to more than 1 year, or alternatively foil-ripened relatively short periods (rindless cheese). During ripening, flavor (changing from mild strong), texture soft elastic when young smooth, shorter, even brittle after long maturation), appearance (a few small eyes formed DL- L-starters) develop. This combined result lactose citric acid fermentation, proteolysis amino conversion, limited extent lipolysis. The adjunct cultures has broadened diversity profiles varieties (e.g., low fat) within group.
