NATURAL BIOGENERATED CHEESE FLAVORING SYSTEM

摘要

A natural biogenerated cheese flavoring system is provided which can be used to prepare very different cheeses having desired flavor profiles. More specifically, the present cheese flavoring system comprising a sulfur y- cheddar flavored component, a creamy-buttery flavored component, and a cheesy flavored component. Each of these flavored components can be used as flavor building blocks with their own specific flavor profiles and/o r characteristics. Using various combinations of these flavored components, cheeses having a wide variety of flavors can be produced. The flavored components are separately prepared from a highly concentrated milk substrate using compositions (e.g., specific enzymes, cultures, and additive s) end process conditions designed to provide the flavored components having specific flavor profiles and/or characteristics. The flavor concentrates can be used in process cheese, process cheese-type products, or other cheeses to produce very different cheeses with-desired flavor profiles. The flavor concentrates can also be used as a natural flavoring system in other food products.
