Enhanced Lactose Cheese Milk does not Guarantee Calcium Lactate Crystals in Finished Cheddar Cheese
2005
Abstract Three experimental batches of Cheddar cheese were manufactured in duplicate, with standardization of the initial cheese-milk lactose content to high (5.24%), normal (4.72%, control), and low lactose (3.81%). After 35 d of aging at 4.4°C, the cheeses were subjected to temperature abuse (24h at 21°C, unopened) and contamination (24h at 21°C, packages opened and cheeses contaminated with crystal-containing cheese). After aging for 167 d, residual cheese lactose (0.08 to 0.43%) and l(+)-lactate concentrations (1.37 to 1.60%) were high and d(−)-lactate concentrations were low (
