摘要

Disclosed is a method for making processed cheese, comprising: a) acidifying a reduced-fat milk source to a pH of between about 5.4 and about 5.8 to obtain a cheese base comprising particles; and b) adding between about 0.4 wt.percent to about 8 wt.percent glycerides to the cheese base to obtain processed cheese, wherein the glycerides comprise between about 40 percent to about 80 percent of monoglycerides relative to the amount of glycerides and between about 20 percent to about 60 percent of diglycerides relative to the amount of glycerides.
