Abstract
A gas chromatographic method was developed and tested for quantitating sugars as trimethylsilyl derivatives and nonvolatile water-soluble organic acids as methyl esters in extracts from Cheddar cheese. Twelve lots of commercial cheese ranging in age from 5 to 164 days contained 72 to 479mg lactose, 2 to 147mg galactose, .4 to 11mg glucose, 1.0 to 1.6g lactic acid, and 0 to 19mg of succinic acid per 100g. Concentrations of these constituents were not closely related to age of cheese.
