Popis: | The effect of varying the milk protein concentration using low-concentration factor ultrafiltration retentate (~3.7, 4, 4.8 and 5.8 % w/w protein) on Cheddar cheese during ripening was investigated. Quantitative analysis of the fat microstructure observed using confocal laser microscopy showed that the effect of the milk protein or time on the microstructure of the fat was minimal. Analysis of the protein sections showed a possible decrease in the branching of the protein network with time, as denoted by the smaller number of vertices, which correlated significantly with the level of trichloroacetic-soluble nitrogen (r = −0.66, P |
