On the other hand, the application of lower scalding temperature and mechanization in IND cheese production of volatile compound. However, differences observed between the cheese might be attributed to the difference in the natural microbiota of the cheeses. The IND cheeses resulted in a higher amount of total FAA than TRD cheese. Moreover , IND cheese showed the highest levels of volatile compounds at 180 d of ripening and lower levels in the hardness values during ripening compared with TRD chesese. From the proteolysis, hardness and volatiles results, the IND production method is recommended for the manufacture of Beaten cheese. These results are an important contribution to the better understanding of Macedonian Beaten ewe milk cheeses produced under INDa and TRD methods. Also, they can help in the characterization and classification of cheese based on volatile profiles, standardization of manufacturing methods, and can encourage attempts to protect the geographical origin of the cheeses.
