Notes:
Cheddar cheese was produced with different lactobacilli strains added to accelerate ripening. The concentration of proteolytic products was determined as free amino acids in the water-soluble fraction at two, four, seven and nine months of aging and at two different maturation temperatures (6°C, 15°C). All amino acids increased during ripening and were higher in the Lactobacillus- added cheeses than in the control cheese, and higher in cheeses ripened at 15°C than at 6°C. Glutamic acid, leucine, phenylalanine, valine and lysine were generally in higher proportion in all cheeses. The cheeses with added L. casei-casei L2A were classified as having a “strong Cheddar cheese” flavor after only seven months of ripening at 6°C.
