Investigation of the Influence of “Amaranth” Cryoadditive on Organoleptic and Microbiological Parameters of Processed Cheeses

There was grounded the expedience of using “Amaranth” cryoadditive in the technology of processed cheeses. “Amaranth” cryoadditive contains necessary vitamins and microelements of the natural origin. The use of “Amaranth” cryopowder in the processed cheeses technology allows to enrich them with vitamins, mineral substances and food fibers. The main factors of introducing “Amaranth” cryoadditive were: the normative organoleptic estimation of a product and its daily need.Introduction of “Amaranth” cryopowder in cheese masses results in the energetic value growth along with the treating-prophylactic effect. The complicated complex of chemical and biochemical compounds, included in the composition of “Amaranth” cryopowder, allows to relate it to products with the wide spectrum of treating-prophylactic and radio-protective properties.Organoleptic characteristics of processed cheeses with cryopowder “Amaranth” testified that experimental samples of cheese keep the tender, elastic and resilient consistence. They have the specific original taste and smell (of cream butter). They had the homogenous picture on the cut, paste of the light-yellow or yellow color with separate dots of amaranth (black-red color). The surface of experimental samples was clean, shiny, correspondent to standards.Experimental samples had the pleasant commodity look. Processed cheese, produced using “Amaranth” cryopowder, combines in itself traditional consumption properties with technological possibilities of functional-technological ingredients of the vegetable origin.The offered products widen the assortment of milk products of the treating-prophylactic direction

Research Into Probiotic Properties of Cultured Butter During Storing

The purpose of experimental research was to determine the number of viable cells L. acidophilus of the strain La-5 and Flora Danica when storing cultured butter. For this purpose, we employed different temperature modes of the fermentation of cream, as well as various technologies. The original concentration of cultures in cream is 1•106 cfu/cm3; with a combination of cultures – the ratio of 1:1 at original concentration in cream of 1•106 and 1•106 cfu/cm3, respectively). We prepared 4 groups of butter:– group I (samples BW (Butter Winter)1, BW2, BW3 and BS (Butter Summer)1, BS2, BS3 at souring the cream by FD, FD + La-5, La-5, respectively, in winter and summer). Cream fermentation was conducted at temperature (30±1) ºC;– group II (BW4, BW5, BW6, BS5, BS6, BS7 at souring by FD, FD+La-5; La-5) – fermentation (37±1) ºC;– group III (З7, З8, З9 at souring by FD, FD+La-5, La-5, respectively) – (8±1) ºC→(20±1) ºC→(12±1) ºC – winter stepwise cultured butter production mode similar to the Alnarp mode. (BS7, BS8, BS9) – (20±1) ºC→(6±1) ºC→(10±1) ºC – summer stepwise mode similar to the Danish one;– group IV (BW10, BW11, BW12, BS10, BS11, BS12 at souring by FD, FD+La-5, La-5, respectively) – introduction of souring cultures to a butter grain. The original concentration of cells at inoculation – 1•108 cfu/cm3.The largest number of viable cells of La-5 was registered for the sample in which we used FD+La-5 and the fermentation of cream at temperature (30±1) ºC. Duration of storing the cultured butter with the probiotic properties is 35 days at temperature 0…–5 º
