Lactic streptococci and the fruity flavor defect of cheddar cheese

Creator:: Bodyfelt, F. W.
Abstract:: The tendency for certain single- and mixed-strain lactic starter cultures to develop a fruity and/or fermented off-flavor in ripening Cheddar cheese was traced to certain strains of Streptococcus lactis in the starter. A very intense fruity and/or fermented flavor developed in experimental cheeses when one particular S. lactis strain was...

Oxidative degradation of Beta-carotene

Creator:: Chiba, Naoki
Abstract:: The role of beta-carotene degradations in the development of off-flavors in milk and milk products has not been established. The purpose of this investigation was to study the oxidation of beta-carotene and to identify volatile compounds arising from autoxidizing beta-carotene. Pure cyrstalline beta-carotene, mixed with Celite to accelerate oxidation, was...
