Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the combined effect of coagulant type (animal rennet, vegetal rennet, microbial rennet, or recombinant chymosin) and microbial transglutaminase on sensory properties. Results show that cheese coagulated with vegetal rennet exuded the highest amount of whey. Cheeses obtained using transglutaminase were less grainy, more soluble, creamier and showed a greater milk intensity and fresh cheese aroma. The effect of transglutaminase on moisture and persistency was different depending on the type of coagulant used. It can be concluded that microbial transglutaminase is a useful tool to modify sensory characteristics of cheese traditionally coagulated with animal rennet.
