LTD of 1-1, Naebocho 6-chome, Higashi-ku, Sapporo-shi, Hokkaido 065, Japan, a Japanese company do hereby declare the invention for which we pray that a Patent may be granted to us, and the method by which it is to be performed, to be particularly described in and by the following statement: (followed by page la) AMD/0783 a 23 5 6 9 5 - la- Field of the Invention This invention relates to method of producing ripened-type cheese.
Description of the' Invention Conventionally, natural cheese is produced by adding rennet to the liquid milk, cutting and stirring to separate whey out to obtain curd, which is then fermented under suitable conditions.
This method required huge investment in equipment as well as skilled expert.
Furthermore, milk as a starting material cannot be stored very long, and must be made into natural cheese as soon as possible after purchase. This factor also makes it difficult to produce desired products in accordance with the needs and demand.
To solve these problems, methods of producing cheese-type products from powder such as casein have been proposed (e.g. Japanese Patent Laid Open Publication No. 56-68349, and Japanese Patent Publications Nos. 56-10013 and 57-2294).
These are, however, methods of producing cheese-like food and no methods of producing natural cheeses by ripening have been reported. Besides, in the most of those reports, acid casein or calcium caseinate are used to obtain cheese-like food which have smell of casein that is too strong for flavourful cheese. ■"r !. i Summary of the Invention The present invention has been completed to solve these problems.
The first object of the present invention is to provide AMD/0 783 a 2-j o u 9 methods of producing ripened-type cheese by specially-prepared powdered milk.
The second object of the present invention is to provide methods of producing ripened-type cheese easily with simple equipment, without being affected by the degree of natural cheeses aging.
The third object is to provide methods of producing ripened-type cheese having sufficient flavour without pronounced smell of casein.
Other object of the present invention will become clear in the Detailed Description and Preferred Embodiment and Examples that follow.
These objects of the present invention are achieved by using powdered milk as a starting material which is prepared by concentrating milk, adjusted to pH 5.0-5.8 and drying Furthermore the objects of the present invention are also achieved by using powdered milk as a starting material, which is prepared by adding lactic-acid bacteria starter to the foregoing concentrated milk and drying.
In one broad form, the present invention provides a method for producing powdered milk to manufacture ripened-type cheese which comprises the steps of: a) pasteurising milk; b) ultrafiltrating the pasteurised milk to obtain retentate; c) cooling the retentate to 15°C or below; d) adjusting the cooled retentate to pH 5.0 - 5.8; e) adding lactic acid bacteria starter and rennet to the cooled and pH adjusted retentate without forming curd; and f) spray drying the starter and rennet added retentate with the temperature of the surrounding air being 80 - 100°C at blower and 60 - 80°C at exhaust to obtain powder milk.
Preferably, the ultrafiltration is carried out to 2 -fold concentrations.
Also preferably, the pH is adjusted by an organic acid. Alternatively, preferably the pH is adjusted by lactic-acid bacteria starter.
In a further broad form, the present invention provides^; a method for producing ripened-type cheese which comprises AMD/0783a vj U ^ the steps of: a) pasteurising milk; b) ultrafiltrating the pasteurised milk to obtain retentate; c) cooling the retentate to 15°C or below; d) adjusting the cooled retentate to pH 5.0-5.8; e) adding lactic acid bacteria starter and rennet to the cooled and pH adjusted retentate without forming curd; f) spray drying the starter and rennet added retentate with the temperature of the surrounding air being 80 - 100°C at blower and 60 - 80°C at exhaust to obtain powder milk; g) adding water and salts to the powder milk and homogenising them; h) putting the homogenised mixture into a mold without forming whey; i) pressing the molded mixture to obtain green cheese; and j) ripening the green cheese to form ripened-type cheese.
Detailed Description and Preferred Embodiment One feature of the present invention is to produce ripened-type cheese (natural cheese) from powdered milk as a main starting material, obtained by adding lactic-acid bacteria starter to milks such as, for example, fresh milk or processed milk, the main component of which is fresh milk, concentrating and spray drying the milk thus adjusted to pH 5.0-5.8, and adding water and sodium chloride to the powdered milk, putting into a mold and pressing to obtain green cheese, and ripening for required period.
In the present invention, it is preferably to concentrate milk by ultrafiltration 2-6 fold concentrations, after it has been pasteurised and cooled in the usual manner. It is desirable that concentration is performed by ultrafiltration because this method concentrates milk without also condensing lactose, rendering superior powdered milk. Ultrafiltering 2-6 fold concentrations makes drying process efficient even at fairly low temperatures of hot blown air (100°C) and exhaust air (60°C). Ultrafiltrated milk thus obtained is cooled to 15°C or below, to which organic acid, such as lactic acid or citric acid, is added, or alternatively, lactic acid bacteria starter added before cooling to biologically acidify it to pH 5.0-5.8, followed by cooling. Cooling to 15°C or below prevents acid-induced coagulation even the pH is adjusted about 5.0. It does coagulate if its acidity is made lower than pH 5.0. If made higher acidity than pH 5.8, the good powdered milk is not obtained because of low drying temperature.
Next, this pH-adjusted, ultrafiltrated milk is dried, or dried after converting its x-casein into para x-casein by adding rennet and setting undisturbed for half and hour or so to obtain powdered milk. Converting x-casein in milk to para x-casein by adding rennet is not essential. Drying should be done under the temperature of hot blowing air at 80 to 100°C, and that of exhausted air at 60 to 80°C, until water content in milk falls to 5% or below.
To produce ripened-type cheese (natural cheese) by using powdered milk as a starting material, prepared as above, in the manner of the present invention, water is added to the powdered milk in intended proportion of the finished product's water content, mixed well, and the whole lot is poured into a mold, pressed and ripened in the usual manner to obtain natural cheese.
Ripened-type cheese (natural cheese) of the present invention compares quite favourably to conventionally-made natural cheeses in flavour and texture.
Moreover, since ripened-type cheese is prepared from powdered milk as a starting material, the present invention has an advantage that it has no need for natural cheese which requires considerable operation and labour, compared with the conventional process by using natural cheese as a starting material, and the starting material stores well to allow flexible production to meet seasonal changes in necessary output and market demand.
Natural cheese prepared according to the present invention reaches ripening index of about 26% [(soluble nitrogen content / total nitrogen content) x 100], with rich flavour and pleasant, slightly sour aftertaste. Since it is AMD/07 83 a made from powdered milk, the starting material stores well, and cheese can be produced in areas without dairy industry, and production can be adjusted flexibly to meet the changes in cheese output and market demand.
Furthermore, the method of the present invention has an advantage that no by-products such as whey yield when curd is formed.
The following Examples of the present invention are shown to make the present invention understood more easily. These Examples, however, are given to illustrate the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention.
The process according to the invention is illustrated by the following Examples in which the percentage quoted represent percentages by weight.
Examples 1. Producing of Gouda-type cheese 80 kilograms of fresh milk was pasteurised at 75°C. After cooling, ultrafiltration is carried out to a reducing in volume of 4 to 1 which means that the volume of the retentate is one fourth of the volume of the starting milk.
This retentate was cooled to 15°C, and adjusted to a pH of 5.3 by addition of lactic acid.
Then retentate was added 10% of mixed lactic-acid bacteria starting containing thermophilic culture L.bulgaricus and S.thermophilus, together with 0.003% rennet, and set undisturbed for 30 minutes.
The milk was then dried with spray-drying (100°C at the blower, 60°C at exhaust) until the water content fell to 5% or below, to obtain 6 kilograms of powdered milk. To thus obtained powdered milk, 100 grams of table salt and 4,3 kilograms of water was added, mixed well, and poured into a mold.
The mixture in the mold was then pressed at 0.1 kilogram per square meter for one hour, at 0.15 kilogram per square meter for two hours, and at 0.2 kilogram per square AMD/0783a 9 t \j \J o 6 meter for three hours to obtain green cheese.
This green cheese was ripened at 10°C and 85% humidity for four months to obtain Gouda-type natural cheese. 2. Producing of Gouda-type cheese After preparing 20 kilograms of retentate as in the above Example 1, inoculated with 2% of a mixed lactic acid bacteria starter, containing thermophilic culture L.bulgaricus and S.thermophilus and then fermented to pH 5.2 under the condition of 30°C and for 6 hours.
The, 0.003% rennet was added to this mixture and was let stand for 30 minutes, after which it was dried spray drying (100°C at the blower, 60°C at exhaust) until the water content fell to 5% or below to obtain 6 kilograms of powdered milk.
To thus obtained powered milk, 110 grams of table salt and 4.3 kilograms of water was added, mixed well, and poured into a mold. The mixture in the mold was then pressed at 0.1 kilograms per square meter for one hour, at 0.15 kilogram per square meter for two hours, and at 0.2 kilogram per square meter for three hours to obtain green cheese.
This green cheese was ripened at 10°C and 85% humidity for four months to obtain Gouda-type natural cheese.
