Notes:
Stress relaxation and dynamic profiles of low-moisture, part-skim (LMPS) Mozzarella cheese cylinders refrigerated 14 days (control), frozen and thawed, and stored frozen and refrigerated up to 90 days were compared. Samples were frozen at −30°C and stored at −20°C. Thawing and refrigerated storage were at 5°C. Stress relaxation tests were conducted at 20°C and dynamic spectrometry at 20°C and 60°C. The frozen and thawed Mozzarella cheese tested at 20°C became harder and more elastic with storage time, while refrigerated stored samples became softer and more elasticoviscous with time. Upon melting, both go-day-frozen and go-day-refrigerated cheeses were less elastic and less viscous than 14-day-refrigerated samples.
