Cheese Manufacturing and Compositional
and Microbiological Analyses
activities were higher in the water-soluble extracts from
cheeses made with CFE. In agreement, the levels of 49
volatile compounds significantly differentiated CC from
the cheeses made with CFE. The level of some alcohols,
ketones, sulfur compounds, and furans were the lowest
in the CC, whereas most aldehydes were the highest.
Each CFE seemed to affect a specific class of chemical
compounds (e.g., the CFE from H. alvei ATCC 51815
mainly influenced the synthesis of sulfur compounds).
Apart from the microbial source used, the cheeses with
the addition of CFE showed higher score for acceptability than the control cheese. Cheese ripening was
accelerated or conditioned using CFE as sources of
tailored enzyme activities.
