Abstract
The present invention relates to a process for producing cheese from enzyme-treated cheese milk, and the use of the resulting produced cheese as ingredient in food products. More particularly, the present invention relates to a process for producing cheese from cheese milk treated with a enzyme selected from the group of phospholipases, in particular phospholipase A1, A2 and B. Also, the present invention relates to a process for stabilizing the fat emulsion of a milk composition, e.g. cream, and the use of such stabilized milk composition, e.g. for the manufacturing of UHT-cream or cream liquor.
Claims58
A process for producing cheese, which comprises the steps of:
- a) treating cheese milk or a fraction of the cheese milk with a purified phospholipase selected from the group consisting of phospholipase A1, phospholipase A2, phosphollpase B and combinations thereof in an amount sufficient to decrease the oiling-off effect in cheese and/or to increase cheese yield;
- and
- b) producing cheese from the cheese milk, wherein step a) is conducted before and/or during step b).
A process for producing cheese, which comprises the steps of:
- a) treating a composition comprising milk fat with a purified phospholipase selected from the group consisting of phospholipase A1, phospholipase A2, phospholipase B and combinations thereof in an amount sufficient to decrease the oiling-off effect in cheese and/or to increase cheese yield;
- and
- b) producing cheese from the composition of step a) wherein step a) is conducted before step b) and/or during step b).
A process for producing cheese, which comprises the steps of:
- a) treating cheese milk or a fraction of cheese milk with a starter organism used in the production of cheese, wherein the starter organism over expresses phospholipase A1, A2, and/or B, in an amount sufficient to decrease the oiling-off effect in cheese and/or to increase cheese yield, and
- b) producing cheese from the cheese milk, wherein step a) is conducted before and/or during step b).
