Abstract
Changes in the global composition, textural parameters, nitrogen fractions, fats characteristics and casein breakdown in Cabrales cheese were studied over a maturation period of four months. Extensive proteolysis and lipolysis occurred. Approximately 88 % of the total nitrogen in the mature cheese was water-soluble and nearly 79% of the water-soluble nitrogen was non-protein nitrogen. Degradation of αs- ands-caseins was complete at the end of ripening, and at this stage the total free fatty acid (FFA) content was 33 153 mg/kg. Correlation coefficients were calculated for all variables and stepwise discriminant analysis was applied in order to classify Cabrales cheeses according to ripening time.
