Abstract
Beyaz cheese (Turkish white-brined cheese) was ripened in four different brines with 12, 14, 16 or 18 g NaCl·100 g-1 water (w/w) at 7 ± 1 °C for 9 weeks. The effect of NaCl concentration on gross composition, proteolysis, sensory characteristics and hardness of the cheeses were investigated during ripening. The cheeses ripened in varying concentrations of NaCl differed in pH values, dry matter, total protein, hardness (mm/5 s), 12% (w/v) trichloroacetic acid-soluble nitrogen fraction and hydrolysis of b-casein, but they did not differ in water-soluble nitrogen or hydrolysis of as1-casein. The cheeses ripened in a 12 g NaCl·100 g-1 brine had the best flavour score and overall acceptability by the panellists. The results obtained from this study indicated that increase in NaCl concentration in brine (more than 14 g·100 g-1) is correlated with lower levels of proteolysis and overall acceptability in Beyaz cheese.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
