Publication description
Cheese contains the main milk protein casein, milk fat, the mineral calcium phosphate, about 36-43% water, lactic acid and 1.5% salt for a hard cheese. Coagulum cutting size, curd heating conditions and pressing influence moisture content and texture. Often ripening by enzymes from milk, rennet, LAB and partly ripening microorganisms occurs to develop flavour and texture.
