Abstract
This paper presents data on model cheeses extracted from the BaGaTel database. The data are issued from 6 different research projects in which data on composition, rheological and sensory properties were collected. The manufacturing of the 68 different samples is described. For each model cheese, data are available on final composition (lipid, protein, water, sodium), rheological properties (uniaxial compression), sensory profile analysis (texture, taste, aroma) and for some cheeses chewing activity and in vivo sodium release were also measured. The material and methods used are detailed. Scatter plots of representation of the values for each variable and each project are plotted. Pearson correlations between variables are given for specific subsets of data. The dataset is hosted in an open access data repository. This dataset will allow a comparison of sensory properties of cheeses varying in lipid, protein water and salt content and can be used for the reformulation of cheeses made with a low salt and fat content to follow food-related health recommendations, whilst fulfilling good sensory qualities.
