Abstract
ABSTRACTThis study aimed at evaluating the effect of ripening of cheeses in contact with bands of reforestation tree barks, similar to the ripening process of the swiss Vacherin Mont D’or® cheese. The treatments consisted of the side wrapping of cheeses during ripening in band of barks of Eucalyptus grandis, Pinus elliottii, Cupressus lusitanica and a control treatment. Physicochemical and gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry analyses were carried out along with a sensory analysis. It was observed that in cheeses ripened in bark of Pinus elliottii the compounds camphene and β-pinene were the major terpenoids identified, while in the cheeses wrapped in barks of Cupressus lusitanica, the compounds myrcene, limonene and α-pinene were the most abundant terpenoids. The sensory analysis indicated that is possible to use the Eucalyptus grandis and Cupressus lusitanica barks as a way to take recycle byproducts of the wood industries and improving sensory attributes.
