Microstructural and Melting Characteristics of Imitation Cheese Analog

모방치즈의 조직과 융점특성 연구

The imitation processed cheese (IPC), formulated with delactosed non fat dry milk (DENFDM) only, showed the smallest melting area. Calcium caseinate sample showed the largest spread. Satistically protein source as a major ingredient for the IPC yielded significantly different melting areas. In a similar fashion, initial melting temperature was markedly and significantly influenced by protein source. In effect of addition of DENFDM on microstructure of IPC analog revealed that as the fraction of DENFDM was decreased, the network was much more uniform and the fat globules were also better dispersed compared to DENFDM cheese analog. Therefore the results of this study help predict that melting and microstructural characteristics are largely but not solely dependent on the protein source. The DENFDM has a potential beneficial effect as a partial replacement of caseinate in the formation of IPC to characteristic close to processed cheese.

탈유당 탈지분유만으로 조제한 모방치-즈는 칼슘카제인 단백질로 만든 제품에 비하여 용융면적이 현저히 감소하였으며 단백질원이 용융면적을 변화시키는 주요한 요인이라는 사실이 통계학적으로 규명되었다. 비슷한 결과로 용융온도도 사용된 단백질원에 따라 현저한 차이를 나타내었다. 모방치-즈제품의 미시적 조직검경에서 탈유당 탈지분유의 첨가량을 감소시키면 치-즈제품의 조직은 보다 균일하고 지방구의 분산정도도 탈유당 탈지분유 단독 사용시보다 양호하여 치-즈제품의 주원료인 대체 단백질원으로 탈유당 탈지분유의 부분사용이 가능하였다.
