Abstract
Malondialdehyde (MDA), which is composed when n-6 and n-3 PUFAs are peroxidized, has been utilized as an indicator of lipid peroxidation and has been considered neurotoxic, cytotoxic, and mutagenic. This study aimed to determine the bioaccessibility level of MDA in diet bars sold as healthy snacks in the market using in vitro gastrointestinal digestive model. In our study, 28 different diet bar samples were bought from markets in Istanbul. MDA contents of the products were determined by the HPLC-FLD method. The investigation showed that diet bars had an average MDA concentration of 116.25 μg/100 g before digestion, while the average MDA concentration was 90.50 μg/100 g after in vitro digestion. In line with these data, the average MDA bioaccessibility of 28 diet bar samples was calculated as 77.3%. For this reason, more studies are needed to understand the relationship between both the MDA content and the reaction and nutritional components.

Abstract
In the food industry context, where fresh cheese stands out as a highly perishable product with a short shelf life, this study aimed to extend its preservation through multi-layer edible coatings. The overall objective was to analyze the biaxial behavior and texture of fresh cheese coated with nanoliposomes encapsulating grape seed tannins (NTs) and polysaccharides (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose; HPMC and kappa carrageenan; KC) using immersion and spray methods, establishing comparisons with uncoated cheeses and commercial samples, including an accelerated shelf-life study. NT, HPMC, and KC were employed as primary components in the multi-layer edible coatings, which were applied through immersion and spray. The results revealed significant improvements, such as a 20% reduction in weight loss and increased stability against oxidation, evidenced by a 30% lower peroxide index than the uncoated samples. These findings underscore the effectiveness of edible coatings in enhancing the quality and extending the shelf life of fresh cheese, highlighting the innovative application of nanoliposomes and polysaccharide blends and the relevance of applying this strategy in the food industry. In conclusion, this study provides a promising perspective for developing dairy products with improved properties, opening opportunities to meet market demands and enhance consumer acceptance.

The Role of Autochthonous Levilactobacillus brevis B1 Starter Culture in Improving the Technological and Nutritional Quality of Cow's Milk Acid-Rennet Cheeses-Industrial Model Study. Foods 2024; 13:392. [PMID: 38338527 PMCID: PMC10855195 DOI: 10.3390/foods13030392] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2023] [Revised: 01/19/2024] [Accepted: 01/23/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024] Open
Abstract
In the study, an attempt was made to develop an innovative technology for cheese manufacturing. It was hypothesized that selected autochthonous lactic acid bacteria as a starter culture are more suitable for the production of acid-rennet cheeses of good technological and sensory quality. The study aimed to assess the possibility of using the strain Levilactobacillus brevis B1 (L. brevis B1) as a starter culture to produce acid-rennet cheeses using raw cow's milk. Two variants of cheese were manufactured. The control variant (R) was coagulated with microbial rennet and buttermilk, and the other variant (B1) was inoculated with rennet and L. brevis B1 starter culture. The effect of the addition of these autochthonous lactic acid bacteria on selected physicochemical characteristics, durability, the composition of fatty acids, cholesterol, Iipid Quality Indices, and microbiological and sensory quality of acid-rennet cheeses was determined during a 3-month period of storage. The dominant fatty acids observed in the tested cheeses were saturated fatty acids (SFA) (68.43-69.70%) and monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) (25.85-26.55%). Significantly higher polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) content during storage was observed for B1 cheeses. The B1 cheeses were characterized by lower cholesterol content compared to cheese R and showed better indexes, including the Index of atherogenicity, Index of thrombogenicity, DFA, OFA, H/H, and HPI indexes, than the R cheese. No effect of the tested L. brevis B1 on sensory quality was observed in relation to the control cheeses during 3 months of storage. The results of the research indicate the possibility of using the L. brevis B1 strain for the production of high-quality, potentially probiotic acid-rennet cheeses.

Abstract
The study was carried out to investigate cricket protein hydrolysates' (CPH) potential to enhance the storage stability of cheddar cheese. The cricket protein (CP) samples pre-processed with microwave (T1), ultrasonication (T2) or without pre-treatment (T0) were used for developing the CPH using alcalase enzyme (3%). Freeze-dried CPH were incorporated in the cheese samples (CPH-T1, CPH-T2 and CPH-T0) at the maximum level of 1.5% and were analysed for quality during 3 months of storage (4 ± 1 °C) compared to the control samples without CPH. The pre-treatments significantly improved the antimicrobial and antioxidant potential of the CPH. The CPH exhibited a significant positive effect on antioxidant potential, lipid stability, protein oxidation, microbial growth, and sensory quality of the cheddar cheese during storage. Digestion simulation showed a significant positive impact on the antioxidant activity of the cheddar cheese. Our results indicate the potential of CPH to enhance the quality of fat-rich foods during storage.

Abstract
An attempt was made to develop a bioactive edible film using carrageenan and A. vera gel for enhancing the storage quality of cheese using kalari, a popular Himalayan cheese, as a food-model system. The film was evaluated for various physicomechanical and oxidative properties (ABTS (2,2-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate)) and DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging activities, total flavonoid and phenolic contents). Based on preliminary trials, 1% A. vera gel was found to be optimum. The addition of the gel resulted in a significant decrease in moisture content, transparency, solubility, and water-vapor transmission rate and increased the thickness and density of the film. The film showed antimicrobial properties against E. coli and significantly (p < 0.05) decreased the lipid-oxidation (thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, free-fatty acids, and peroxide values) and increased microbial-quality (total-plate, psychrophilic, and yeast/molds) of the samples during 4-week refrigerated storage (4 ± 1 °C). The film also exhibited a significant positive impact on the sensory quality of the cheese, indicating the potential for commercial applications for quality control of cheese during storage.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to use local LAB cultures for the production of organic acid-rennet cheeses from unpasteurized cow’s milk. Under industrial conditions, three types of cheese were produced, i.e., traditionally with acid whey (AW), with starter culture L. brevis B1, or with starter culture L. plantarum Os2. Strains were previously isolated from traditional Polish cheeses. Chemical composition, physico-chemical, microbiological, and sensory studies during 2 months of storage were carried out. As a result of this research, it was found that the basic composition was typical for semi-hard, partially skimmed cheeses. Mainly saturated fatty acids were detected. The cheeses were rich in omega-3, -6, and -9 fatty acids and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), and were characterized by good lipid quality indices (LQI). All of the cheeses were characterized by a high number of lactic acid bacteria, with Enterobacteriaceae, yeast, molds, and staphylococci contaminants, which is typical microbiota for unpasteurized milk products. Water activity, pH, and total acidity were typical. A lower oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) of cheeses with the addition of strains and stability of the products during storage were observed. The B1 and Os2 cheeses were lighter, less yellow, had a more intense milk and creamy aroma, were softer, moister, and more elastic than AW cheese. The research results indicate the possibility of using environmental LAB strains in the production of high-quality acid-rennet cheeses, but special attention should be paid to the production process due to the microbiological quality of the cheeses.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to analyze the impact of cheese fragmentation and packaging on the dynamics of water–fat serum released from pasta filata cheese made from cow’s milk and its mixture with sheep’s milk. The addition of sheep’s milk reduced the amount of leachate from the vacuum-packed cheeses and did not cause as much loss of gloss as in the case of cow’s milk cheeses. This was also reflected in the microscopic images of the cheese samples. Consumers showed less acceptance of cow’s milk pasta filata cheeses than cheeses made with a mixture of cow’s and sheep’s milk (they had the same fat content, acidity, hardness, and oiling-off, but better stretching). The data describing water–fat serum release from pasta filata cheese within 24 h of unpacking was modeled with the use of the feed-forward artificial neural networks, whose architecture is based on Multi-Layer Perceptron with a single hidden layer. The model inputs comprised four independent variables, including one quantitative (i.e., time) and the other qualitative ones, which had the following states: type of raw material (cow’s milk, cow-sheep’s milk), way of sample portioning (whole, quarters, slices), packing method (vacuum packed and packed in brine).

Abstract
Simple Summary Buffalo Mozzarella cheese from Campania is made from the fresh milk of the Italian Mediterranean buffalo. In 1996, thanks to its distinctive characteristics (specific environmental conditions and production method), Regulation (EC) No. 1107/96 recognized it as a Protected Designation of Origin product. The limited availability of milk and the increased demand for buffalo mozzarella cheese, especially during the spring-summer period (when milk production is lowest), have induced the use of frozen milk or curd for its production. The aim of this research was to provide preliminary results about the effect of freezing on microbial communities of fresh buffalo milk, curd and Buffalo Mozzarella cheese, and on physical properties (whiteness, hardness, and oxidation state) of Buffalo Mozzarella cheese. The preliminary results obtained have allowed us to conclude that the freezing process if properly carried out, does not compromise the microbiological quality of the products but produces only slight changes of some physical properties. Abstract Buffalo Mozzarella cheese from Campania is one of the most worldwide appreciated Italian dairy products. The increased demand for buffalo dairy products and the limited availability of the finest buffalo milk has prompted the diffusion of illicit practices, such as the use of milk, curd, or other products that are frozen or bought at low cost. The aim of this research was to provide preliminary results about the trend of the microbial communities of buffalo milk, curd and Buffalo Mozzarella cheese, during freezing storage of eleven months. At the same time, the alterations of physical properties and the presence of the molecular marker “γ4-casein”, have been investigated. The results showed that freezing reduced the concentrations of the total bacterial count, Enterobacteriaceae, coliforms, Escherichia coli and yeasts in fresh milk and, the concentrations of the total bacterial count, coliforms, lactic acid bacteria and yeasts in mature curd. In the finished product, no notable decreases were observed, except for lactic acid bacteria. About the γ4-casein, no increase was observed in all matrices. These preliminary results allow us to conclude that the freezing process if properly carried out, does not compromise the microbiological quality and the physical properties of the Buffalo Mozzarella cheese.

Effect of Storage and Heat Treatment of Milk Destined for Cheese Production on Its Oxidative Characteristics. DAIRY 2021.

Abstract
The oxidative stability of milk and dairy products is a very interesting topic for the dairy industry due to the growing demand for foods containing bioactive compounds with positive health effects. The aim was to evaluate the oxidative stability of milk intended for cheese production. The effect of storage time, heat pre-treatment, and milk pasteurization temperature on the characteristics of milk and cheese was investigated. The cheese samples were produced with pasteurized milk at both 72 and 77 °C for a time of 15 s using three types of milk: raw fresh milk processed within 48 h of milking, raw stored milk processed within 96 h, and thermized milk that was heat-treated upon arrival at the dairy and processed within 96 h of milking. In total, three repetitions were carried out for each type of milk and pasteurization. Samples of milk before and after pasteurization and cheese at 14 days of storage were analyzed. Antioxidant activity decreased from starting milk to milk after pasteurization to final cheese. The longer storage time of the milk had significant effects on the antioxidant stability of the cheese (64.95 vs. 59.05% of antioxidant activity). Thermization of the milk further reduced the stability of the cheese (54.05% of antioxidant activity). The greater antioxidant stability of fresh milk and cheeses produced with fresh milk is the first result that encourages the production of cheese from a milk that best preserves its original characteristics.
