Abstract
ABSTRACTAccelerated ripened Cheddar cheese was prepared by blending two parts of shredded curd made from standardized cow's milk with one part of 5.2% NaCl solution and ripening at 30°C for 8 days. On a dry matter basis, protein and fat of accelerated ripened cheese were similar to that of conventionally ripened Cheddar cheese, while lactose and total ash were greater. Similar observation was made for processed cheese samples. No change in vitamin A or in riboflavin but a fourfold increase in folic acid was observed during accelerated ripening. Protein efficiency ratio, net protein utilization and digestibility coefficient by rat tests were slightly but significantly higher for conventionally ripened processed cheese. However, no difference in biological value was observed.
