Abstract

ABSTRACTThe objectives of this research were to compare the effects of seven make‐procedures on the sensory quality of reduced fat Monterey Jacktype cheeses. Modifications (decreased cook temperature, decreased ripe time, decreased starter, homogenization, added milk‐solids‐not‐fat, added flavor cultures, and washed curd) were incorporated into standard make‐procedures for 33% reduced fat (RF) Monterey Jack‐type cheeses. Two controls, a standard full fat cheese, and a standard RF cheese, were also prepared. Cheeses were aged 3 and 7 mo prior to sensory evaluation. The full fat control cheese and the washed curd RF cheese received the highest flavor scores from trained dairy judges (n = 9) and the highest flavor and acceptance scores from a consumer panel (n = 125). Washed curd was an effective modification for optimum sensory quality of RF cheeses.
