Factors Affecting Calcium Lactate and Liquid Expulsion Defects in Cheddar Cheese

ABSTRACT

This paper summarizes the results of 2 studies designed to investigate the influence of several manufacturing and curing treatments on the appearance of Cheddar cheese defects. Specifically, 2 defects, calcium lactate crystal formation and the expulsion of free liquid (weeping) were monitored in Cheddar cheese. Both studies were conducted at a commercial cheese manufacturing facility that produces Cheddar in 18.14-kg (40-lb) blocks. In the first study we monitored cheese calcium, both total and soluble during manufacture and early curing. In the second study we measured cheese pH from 3 d through 8 mo, as well as some factors that are influenced by cheese pH. Early cheese pH (3 d ...
