Effect Of Ultra-High Pressure Treatment On The Texture, Flavor And Shelf Life Of Cream Cheese, Zhang Yuanyuan, Liu Zhenmin, Zheng Yuanrong

Food and Machinery

Objective: This study aimed to determine the optimal conditions for ultra-high pressure (HHP) cream cheese. Methods: The influence of non-thermal processing pressure on the texture, flavor and shelf life of homemade cream cheese were explored. By using the texture profile analysis (TPA), solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (SPME-GC-MS), and colony counting method, the texture, flavor substances, and microorganisms of cheese were identified and evaluated. Results: After HHP treatment, the hardness, adhesiveness, and resilience of cream cheese decreased. The springiness of cheese reached the highest at 300 MPa, significantly increasing by 14.0% (P<0.05). When the pressure is more than or equal to 400 MPa, the content and species of volatile substances in cheese are significantly reduced. Principal component analysis showed that 200 and 300 MPa treated cheese and unpressurized cheese were both in the first principal component area. After HHP treatment of artificially dyed cream cheese, the number of bacterial colonies decreased significantly (P<0.05), and the greater the treatment pressure, the better the bactericidal effect. When the HHP treatment pressure is greater than or equal to 300 MPa, the shelf life of cheese was effectively extended from 7 days to 21 days. Conclusion: The cream cheese treated by HHP has a good texture and original flavor while effectively extending the shelf life.

School of Earth, Environmental, & Marine Sciences Faculty Publications

Wild fisheries provide billions of people with a key source of multiple essential nutrients. As fisheries plateau or decline, nourishing more people will partially rely on shifting consumption to farmed animals. The environmental implications of transitions among animal-sourced foods have been scrutinized, but their nutritional substitutability remains unclear. We compared concentrations of six essential dietary nutrients across >5000 species of wild fishes, aquaculture, poultry and livestock species, representing >65% of animals consumed globally. Wild fishes are both more nutrient-dense and variable than farmed animals; achieving recommended intake of all nutrients with farmed species could require consuming almost four times more …
