Abstract
The manufacturing method of String cheese is similar to Mozzarella, but the hot curd is extruded through narrow tubes or pipes, which align the protein fibers that provides the characteristic ability for consumers to pull strings from this cheese. Firmness is another important performance attribute for consumers who just bite into the String cheese without peeling off strings. There have only been a few studies on String cheese, but it is known that stringiness and firmness decrease during prolonged storage, which is a particular challenge for exporting String cheese. We explored 2 treatments to try to retain the stringiness and firmness of String cheese for longer storage periods. The techniques used were high pressure processing (HPP; 600 MPa for 3 min) and reduced storage temperature (0°C). In other cheese varieties, these techniques have helped extend the performance shelf-life. We tested these techniques using the 2 main types of commercial String cheese: direct acid (DASC) and cultured String cheese (CSC), that were obtained from 2 different manufacturing facilities. The DASC had higher fat (∼2.2%) and higher pH values (∼0.2 units) compared with the CSC. The CSC had higher protein content (∼3.4%), higher insoluble calcium content (∼8 mg insoluble Ca/g protein) and higher hardness values (∼4 N) compared with the DASC. Due to the compositional differences, the 2 varieties were statistically analyzed separately for all other attributes. In both cheese types, HPP caused an immediate reduction in stringiness, some solubilization of insoluble calcium, and a slight increase in the cheese pH values. HPP also caused a slight increase in the TPA hardness of the CSC samples until 14 d (possibly due to a slight increase in cheese pH). The use of the 0°C storage temperature reduced proteolysis and helped retain firmness during storage. Low temperature storage could help extend the performance shelf-life of String cheese by a couple of months, but HPP was not suitable as the process caused an immediate reduction in stringiness due to the disruption of the matrix induced by the HPP treatment.

Abstract
Due to its versatility and shelf stability, process cheese is gaining interest in many developing countries. The main structural component (base) of most processed cheese formulations is young Cheddar cheese that has high levels of intact casein. Exporting natural Cheddar cheese base from the United States to distant overseas markets would require the aging process to be slowed or reduced. As Cheddar cheese ripens, the original structure is broken down by proteolysis and solubilization of insoluble calcium phosphate. We explored the effect of varying rennet levels (we also used a less proteolytic rennet) and application of high-pressure processing (HPP) to Cheddar cheese, as we hoped these treatments might limit proteolysis and concomitant loss of intact casein. To try to retain high levels of insoluble Ca, all experimental cheeses were made with a high-draining pH and from concentrated milk. To compare our intact casein results with current practices, we manufactured a Cheddar cheese that was prepared according to typical industry methods (i.e., use of unconcentrated milk, calf chymosin [higher levels], and low draining pH value [∼6.2]). All experimental cheeses were made from ultrafiltered milk with protein and casein contents of ∼5.15% and 4.30%, respectively. Three (low) rennet levels were used: control (38 international milk clotting units/mL of rennet per 250 kg of milk), and 25% and 50% reduced from this level. All experimental cheeses had similar moisture contents (∼37%) and total Ca levels. Four days after cheese was made, half of the experimental samples from each vat underwent HPP at 600 MPa for 3 min. Cheddar cheese functionality was monitored during aging for 240 d at 4°C. Cheddar cheese base was used to prepare process cheese after aging for 14, 60, 120, 180, and 240 d. Loss tangent (LT) values of cheese during heating were measured by small strain oscillatory rheology. Intact casein levels were measured using the Kjeldahl method. Acid or base titrations were used to determine the buffering capacity and insoluble Ca levels as a percentage of total Ca. The LTmax values (an index of meltability) in process cheese increased with aging for all the cheese bases; the HPP treatment significantly decreased LTmax values of both base (natural) and process cheeses. All experimental cheeses had much higher levels of intact casein compared with typical industry-make samples. Process cheese made from the experimental treatments had visually higher stretching properties than process cheese made from Cheddar with the typical industry-make procedure. Residual rennet activity was not affected by rennet level, but the rate of proteolysis was slightly slower with lower rennet levels. The HPP treatment of Cheddar cheese reduced residual rennet activity and decreased the reduction of intact casein levels. The HPP treatment of Cheddar cheese resulted in process cheeses that had slightly higher hardness values, lower LTmax values, and retained higher storage modulus values at 70°C. We also observed that the other make procedures we used in all experimental treatments (i.e., using a less proteolytic chymosin, using a concentrated cheese milk, and maintaining a high draining pH value) had a major effect on retaining high levels of intact casein.

Physico-Chemical, Sensory and Texture Properties of an Aged Mexican Manchego-Style Cheese Produced from Hair Sheep Milk. Foods 2020; 9:E1666.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the physicochemical and texture changes of the Manchego-style cheese produced from hair sheep (Pelibuey) throughout 180 days of ripening, as well as consumer's acceptance. Cheese pH was constant from 1 to 180 days of ripening. Moisture, water activity, fat, elasticity and hardness decreased from day 1 to day 180, while protein, trichloroacetic acid-soluble N and free amino acid increased. Cheese lightness decreased as ripening time increased, while elasticity and hardness decreased. Principal Component Analysis was useful in discriminating cheeses according to their physicochemical composition and that allowed cheeses to be classified in two groups according to their ripening time and this resulted in those with less than 60 days and those with more than 90 days of ripening. Compared with cheeses ripened at 1 and 90 days, aged cheeses at 180 days reduced scores for appearance, color, odor, taste, texture and overall acceptance. Overall, Manchego-style cheeses from hair sheep had the usual ripened-cheese physicochemical changes.

Abstract
Sodium chloride (NaCl) universally well-known as table salt is an ancient food additive, which is broadly used to increase the storage stability and the palatability of foods. Though, in recent decades, use of table salt in foods is a major concern among the health agencies of the world owing to ill effects of sodium (Na) that are mostly linked to hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. As a result, food scientists are working to decrease the sodium content in food either by decreasing the rate of NaCl addition or by partial or full replacement of NaCl with other suitable salts like potassium chloride (KCl), calcium chloride (CaCl2 ), or magnesium chloride (MgCl2 ). However, in cheese, salt reduction is difficult to accomplish owing to its multifaceted role in cheese making. Considering the significant contribution in dietary salt intake (DSI) from cheese, researchers across the globe are exploring various technical interventions to develop reduced-sodium cheeses (RSCs) without jeopardizing the quality and safety of cheeses. Thus, the purpose of this study is to provide an insight of NaCl reduction on sensory, physicochemical, and technofunctional attributes of RSCs with an aim to explore various strategies for salt reduction without affecting the cheese quality and safety. The relationship between salt reduction and survival of pathogenic and spoilage-causing microorganisms and growth of RSCs microflora is also discussed. Based on the understanding of conceptual and applied information on the complex changes that occur in the development of RSCs, the quality and safety of RSCs can be accomplished effectively in order to reduce the DSI from cheese.
