Abstract
Application of plant-based natural additives to improve the bioactive properties of organic artisanal cheeses
Highlights
The aim of research was to increase the content of bioactive substances and improving antioxidative properties of organic artisanal cheeses by application the selected organic vegetable additives into manufacture of cheeses
The tested additives increased the level of bioactive components and antioxidant properties of cheeses after ripening and positively influenced on their color
The content of selected biologically active compounds was determined in organic cheeses containing addition of dried vegetables (Table 2)
Summary
Cow's milk purchased from a certified organic farm (No PL-EKO-07-04210) from Lublin Province (Krupe, Poland) was used for production of ripened cheeses. The content of water (moisture) in all dried vegetables was determined in accordance with the method described by Lucera et al [7]. The whey was drained off and a previously prepared portion of dried organic vegetables (onion, beetroot, broccoli, carrot, or tomato) was added to the cheese mass at a level of 5% (per 1 kg of cheese curd) and thoroughly mixed. The contents of selected biologically active substances (characteristic for each type of plant material) in the variants of cheeses containing one type of the tested vegetable additive were determined using the below-mentioned methods. The antioxidant activity of all produced variants of cheeses was determined by analyzing the ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) of the tested samples to reduce according to the method described by Radzki et al [16] with some modifications. The results were discussed based on a significance level set at P
