Abstract

GUZMAN C, LUIS ENRIQUE; TEJADA T, CANDELARIA; DE LA OSSA M, YEINIS JOHANA  and  RIVERA R, CESAR AUGUSTO. COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF TEXTURE PROFILE FRESH CHEESE GOAT AND COW. Rev.Bio.Agro [online]. 2015, vol.13, n.1, pp.139-147. ISSN 1692-3561.

Notwithstanding the existence of several studies on various aspects of cow and goat cheeses, there is little information on their textural properties. The study of the rheological properties in cheeses is important because it determines the typical body and texture. This research was conducted in order to compare the texture profile of pasteurized fresh cheeses made from goat's milk and cow and fat contents of 30, 50 and 70%; which were stored refrigerated at 4°C and analyzed on days 1, 6, 12, and 18 respectively. The textural parameters of hardness, adhesiveness, cohesiveness, elasticity, gumminess and chewiness were determined using a texture analyzer EZ-TEST SERIES S. It is concluded that the values of hardness and adhesiveness increased during storage time, contrary to the elasticity and cohesiveness. Furthermore, increased fat influences the increase of these parameters except hardness. Moreover, gumminess and chewiness vary as to the hardness, cohesiveness and springiness. Fresh goat cheese had higher adhesiveness, cohesiveness and elasticity, compared to fresh cheese of cow, in which the hardness values were higher.
