Effects of Whey Proteins on Cheese Characteristics
by G.W. Jameson (Australia) & J. Lelievre (Canada)

Opinion varies as to whether technologies for increasing the level of whey proteins in cheese significantly alter the properties of traditional cheese varieties. The chemical, biochemical and biophysical effects of whey proteins in cheese are reviewed. It is concluded that such effects do occur, but their nature and severity vary widely, depending on the cheese variety and whether the whey proteins are in the native or denatured state. Some cheeses are not adversely affected by incorporation of native whey proteins through use of ultrafiltration-based cheese manufacturing technology.
