Abstract
A broad survey on fatty acid profile and gross composition of different types of Brazilian artisanal cheeses (BAC; n = 402) produced in North, South, Northeast, Central-West, and Southeast regions of the country was performed. Results suggested that cheeses from North and Northeast regions have a different gross composition and fatty acid profile than the cheeses produced in the other regions. Butter cheese presented a higher fat content and a lower polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) level, with a higher atherogenic index (AI). Marajó cheese presented lower ash and protein content and higher fat content and monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) level, with consequent lower AI and thrombogenic index (TI) and higher desired fatty acid (DFA). Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) proportionated the cheeses' good discrimination based on geographical origin and free fatty acid composition.
