Efeito da adição de culturas láticas mesofílicas sobre a qualidade do queijo de coalho

Abstract

The objective of this study was to evaluate the characteristics of the curd cheese produced from pasteurized cow's milk, through the use of mesophilic lactic acid bacteria of the genus Lactococcus lactis ssp. cremoris and Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis specific. The lactic cultures derived from the Bank of lactic acid bacteria from the State University of Ceará were activated at the premises of the Laboratory of lactic acid bacteria of the Federal Rural University of Amazonia-UFRA, Bethlehem Campus lactic cultures were activated for three consecutive days in Reconstituted Skim Milk (LDR) 12% sterilized and incubated at 30 ° C ± 2 ° C, to coagulate the milk. After reactivation, the industrial culture was obtained by transferring the inoculum of 1% (v / v) to glass vials containing 500 ml of sterile 12% LDR, followed by incubation at 30 ° C ± 2 ° C to coagulate the milk, then the culture (lactic yeast) was added directly into the tank containing manufacturing pasteurized milk, keeping the ratio of 1:1. Technology assessment were used for the following lactic cultures isolated from raw milk: Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis (LL) and Lactococcus lactis (atypical) (ALL), Lactococcus lactis ssp. cremoris (atypical) (LLCA), Lactococcus lactis ssp. cremoris (LLC). The portions of samples were removed, placed in a food processor and processed to form a sample. They were then stored in sterile flasks, labeled and stored in a freezer for later analysis to determine the dry matter, moisture (%), total solids (EST), fat (F), fat in dry matter (GES), acidity, pH, chloride, total nitrogen (TN), pH 4.6-soluble nitrogen, soluble nitrogen in TCA 12%. The rate of proteolysis or extent of maturation was evaluated by dividing the NT. For the acceptance test used the hedonic scale of nine points, to evaluate the product for the aroma, general appearance, taste and texture. The test frying according to the methodology described by Cavalcante et al. (2007). Microbiological analysis of cheese samples in an experimental and 30 days of ripening, referred to the Central Laboratory - LACEN, Analysis Products Division - DEP. It consisted of mesophilic aerobic bacteria count, coliform determination. To test for statistical analysis there was no frying. The experimental design was completely randomized design and the methodology of mixed models for longitudinal data, in order to model the structure of (co) variance between measurements collected in the same experimental unit at different times through the model yijk=μ+αi + ijk ik. ε + β α β j (i) + k + δ . Using the statistical program Statistical Analysis Systems - SAS (SAS Institute Inc., 1992). The treatments LL and ALL failed the test of frying. There was a link between the characteristic melt with moisture, acidity and proteolysis. The cheeses showed higher proteolysis had higher melting capacity. The samples of cheese curd had good acceptance in the acceptance test.
