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.
Claims69
A process for producing cheese, which comprises the steps of:
- a) treating cheese milk or a fraction of the cheese milk with a combination of a phospholipase A and a lysophospholipase in amounts 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 combination of a phospholipase A and a lysophospholipase in amounts 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 the cheese milk with a combination of a phospholipase A and a lysophospholipase in amounts sufficient to decrease the oiling-off effect in cheese;
- 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 cheese milk or a fraction of the cheese milk with a combination of a phospholipase A and a lysophospholipase in amounts sufficient 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 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 and lysophospholipase in an amounts 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).
