Abstract
ABSTRACT:Samples were taken at 9 stages of processing, from raw milk to cheese aged for 6 mo. Fatty acid distributions, conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), moisture, protein, lipid contents, and titratable acidity were determined. CLA contents were highest after 3 mo, with one type of Cheddar (3.76 mg/g lipid) higher than the other two (3.44 and 3.47 mg/g lipid). Multiple linear regression showed all composition parameters were directly related to CLA content (mg/100 g sample). The content of oleic acid isomer C18:1ω7 was also directly related to CLA content (mg/g lipid). Thus, content of CLA in Cheddar‐type cheeses might be controlled by stage and conditions of processing. An understanding of the effects of processing on CLA formation in Cheddar‐type cheeses will be beneficial in designing processing methods to enhance CLA contents.
