Stale flavor development has been recognized as a defect of
stored dry milk powders for several years. Recently, stale flavor
development has been found to occur upon storage of sterilized concentrated
milk, and is recognized as the principal limiting factor to
commercial utilization of this process (Seibert, 1963).
Some attempts...
Milk, preheated at 82°C for 30 minutes, was heated to 146°C
for four seconds (UHT-treated) and cooled to 5°C in a tubular heat
exchanger. Immediately after heat treatment, 20 gallons of heated
milk were vacuum distilled at 30°C in a semi-continuous, reduced
pressure glass apparatus. Twenty gallons of non-heated milk...
The free fatty acids of Cheddar cheese are important components
in the over-all flavor and aroma of the cheese. Although the
more volatile fatty acids probably contribute most, there is reason
to believe that the higher fatty acids may contribute, to some extent,
in imparting typical flavor characteristics. Before the...
Food lipid systems are very complex and so is oxidative
degradation that render them unpalatable for human consumption.
The significance of lipid degradation and the key reactions involved
have been thoroughly studied and are well understood today. This
is not true, however, of the secondary products of the autoxidation
reactions....
During the course of ripening, Cheddar cheese frequently develops
a flavor defect described as fruity. Recent work has indicated
that the use of certain starter cultures ultimately results in the
development of the defect as the cheese ages. The flavor compounds
responsible for the defect, however, have not been elaborated....
Increasing interest has been shown in the irradiation sterilization
and irradiation pasteurization of foods, but problems of off-flavors
and odors are still unsolved, especially in the case of dairy products.
From the flavor chemistry point of view, milk lipids are very highly
susceptible to irradiation effects. Therefore, this investigation was...
Numerous attempts have been made to identify the flavor
compounds in Blue cheese, however, duplication of Blue cheese
flavor has not yet been accomplished. Therefore, it was desirable
to make a qualitative and quantitative investigation of Blue
cheese flavor compounds and to study the effect of certain microorganisms
on Blue...
