Effect of artisanal kid rennet paste on lipolysis in semi-hard goat cheese
Fontecha, J. | Castillo, I. | Blasco, L. | Alonso, L. | Juarez, M.
This study examined the use of hygienised kid rennet pastes in model cheese systems and also in goat milk semi-hard cheeses to promote lipolysis. The results obtained indicated that the use of rennet paste caused greater lipolysis and increased, mostly, the short-chain free fatty acid (FFA) content. The model systems made with whole goat's milk using rennet paste and commercial rennet mixture exhibited a higher FFA content than did the rennet paste-free controls (31,600 vs. 25,600 micromol/kg cheese). For the pilot cheeses made with bovine rennet and rennet paste mixture, the increase in FFA level after 45 days of ripening compared with the cheeses prepared only with commercial rennet was as much as 6600 (micromol/kg cheese) and the increase in the butyric acid content was also 1650 (micromol/kg cheese). Moreover, after 15 days of ripening, industrially prepared cheeses made with rennet paste exhibited greater levels of FFA than did the cheeses made with commercial rennet (11,500 micromol/kg at 45 days of ripening). Their flavour was stronger and the organoleptic characteristics were better accepted, which implies less ripening time for commercial cheese manufacture.
