Description
11.t~ 8 This invention relates to a process for the production of a pasteurised cheese in powder form which, after reconstitu-tion, has the properties of Mozzarella.
5 It is known that Mozzarella is a cheese with stretching and stringing properties which is used in large quantities in the production of pizzas. The often artisanal processes for producing Mozzarella generally result in the formation of a curd which is very difficult to handle. The individual opera-tions involved are numerous and laborious and involve relati-vely high production costs. In addition, major problems are involved in the distribution and keeping of this-cheese, in addition to which there are no absolute guarantees from the bacteriological point of view. In addition, the fact that it is virtually impossible to find any stable commercial product containing all the ingredients required for the production of a plzæa, including cheese, shows how difficult it is to provl-de for public consumptlon a powder-form cheese of which the taste, appearance and properties after reconstitution are the same as those of Mozzarella.
There is already a known process for producing Mozzarella in powder form, although the cheese obtained in this known pro-cess, by the nature of its individual operations, is not a pasteurised cheese. Although the bacteriological risks may readily be controlled in a modern distribution circuit, there is a risk that non-pasteurised Mozzarella in powder-form will be left for too long on the shelves of a rural grocery store or will not be properly stored or used by the consumer.
The invention specifically provides a solution to these bac-teriological problems because it enables a pasteurised cheese to be produced in powder form. The invention relates to a production process in which 1~i9698 - a colloidal lactic starting solution having protein/lactose and protein/calcium ratios at least about twice as high as those of natural mllk and a pH-value in the range from 5.0 to 5.5 is prepared, S - this solution is adjusted to a pH-value of from 6.3 to 6.4 and pasteurised, - the pH is returned to a value of from 5.0 to 5.5, - and finally the solution is dried to give said cheese in powder form.
In the context of the invention, the expression "colloidal lactic solution" is understood to mean an aqueous solution which essentially consists of the constituents encountered in animal milk and which has the principal properties thereof.
Accordlngly, the irst step of the process according to the lnvention comprises preparing this colloidal lactic solution.
In a first embodiment, this solution is obtained by reconsti-tution in water using for example concentrates or powdersof casein, lactalbumin (if desired), lactose, mineral salts...
The proportions are such that the solution obtained has pro-tein/lactose and protein/calcium ratios at least about twice as high as those in natural milk. The pH is adjusted by chemi-cal acidification, for example using hydrochloric acid. In apreferred variant, the pH-value is adjusted by biological acidification, in particular using the normal acidifying ferments of milk.
In another embodiment, the colloidal lactic solution is pre-pared by ultrafiltration. In this way, it is possible direct-ly to obtain as retentates products having protein/lactose and protein/calcium ratios at least about twice as high as those of the milk used. If desired, particularly for adjusting the protein/lactose ratio and the demineralisation level, it ~ 1.'~69~3 is possible to apply diafiltration, i.e. to dilute the reten-tate during the ultrafiltration step. In the same way as I before, the pH-value is adjusted chemically or biologically, acidification being possible with the dilution solution used ln the event of diafiltration which may consist of a cheese whey for example. Ultrafiltration may even be carried out at elevated temperature if it is desired to increase the yield of treated product. In this particular case, the proteins may be denatured beforehand by heating, in particular by the in-jection of steam.
In a preferred variant, a whole milk or skimmed milk is bio-logically acidified to a pH value of only from 5.8 to 6Ø
This acidified milk is then subjected to ultrafiltration and biological acidification is allowed to continue during the ultrafiltration step so that the retentate obtained is the starting colloidal lactic solution which has both the above-mentioned ratios higher than those of natural milk and the desired pH-value in the range from 5.0 to 5.5.
It should be pointed out that the use of ultrafiltration has the advantage o a better yield because the serum proteins or lactalbumin are retained and end up in the powder-form cheese.
In addition, a higher acceptable lactose content is not only possible, but also readily controllable.
The next step of the process comprises raising the pH of the solution to a value of from 6.3 to 6.4 which may readily be achieved by the addition of an alkali, such as sodium hydro-xide for example. Pasteurisation becomes possible at a pH-value of this order whereas, at a pH-value in the range from 5.0 to 5.5, it would have given rise to precipitation of the product. Pasteurisation may be carried out by the injection of steam, for example at a temperature in the range from 70 to 140C.
;1.:1~i.'~6~98 When the pH-value of the solution is in the range from 6.3 to 6.4, a fat, such as butter oil, peanut oil or soya oil or even a high-melting fat, such as hydrogenated palm oil for example, may be added, especially with heating, for example to a temperature of approximately 55 to 65C. The object of adding a fat is to standardise the powder-form cheese or to form a cheese having normal fat content where the starting colloidal solution is a skimmed milk solution.
If it is desired to obtain alow-fat cheese, it is of course possible to start with an at least partly skimmed-milk solu-tion and not to add any fat. The solution obtained after the addition of fat is preferably homogenised before pasteu-risation, for example using a homogenizer or directly by the injection of steam.
The subsequent step, re-acidification of the solution to a pH-value of from 5.0 to 5.5, may be carrled out chemically or blologically in the same way as for the starting solution.
It ls preferably carried out chemically by the addition of hydrochloric acid. Under these conditions, the salt formed through neutralisation and chemical acidification replaces at least a large part of the salt which would otherwise have to be added to the product before drying. Reacidification is again preferably carried out after cooling to between 5 and 10C.
Finally, the solution is dried to form a powder. Drying may be carried out in any way, for example in a spray-drier or by freeze-drying.
It should be pointed out here that the process according to the invention differs radically from the traditional proces-ses for producing Mozzarella because, in these traditional processes, the starting milk is coagulated which involves a physico-chemical modification of the proteins and a fundamen-tal change in their properties. By contrast, in the process ll~i9~9~
according to the invention, the proteins do not have to under-go any modification and may remain in their native state.
There is no coagulation.
The powder-form cheese obtained is a pasteurised cheese which is thus characterised by bacteriological stability. After reconstitution in water, it forms a paste which has the stretching properties and the behaviour of Mozzarella. Accor-dingly, this cheese may readily be used as a substitute for the traditional cheese, particularly in the production of pizzas.
The process according to the invention is illustrated by the following Examples in which the percentages quoted represent percentages by weight.
Example 1 A standardised milk is pasteurised for 15 s at 72C. After cooling to 37C, the milk thus pasteurised is inoculated with a thermophilic lactic starter, acidification being left to continue to a pH equal to 5.9. After cooling to 20C, ultra-filtration is carried out in an apparatus of the plate type equipped with cellulose acetate membranes having a cut-off of 6000. Ultrafiltration is carried out at a temperature of 20C to a reduction in volume of 3 to l which means that the volume of the retentate is one third of the volume of the starting milk. During ultrafiltration, acidification continues and the retentate has a pH equal to 5.2.
This pH is raised to 6.3 by the addition of a solution of sodium hydro~ide, followed by pasteurisation by the injection of steam for 15 s at 80C.
The pasteurised product is then cooled in a plate-type heat 11~;9~:98 exchanger to a temperature of the order of 8C and then re-acidified to pH 5.2 by the addition of hydrochloric acid.
I
This product, which has the stretching and stringing proper-s ties, is lntroduced into a drying tower from which a powderis collected.
When reconstituted in water, this powder gives a stringy paste which so resembles as to be mistaken for Mozzarella.
It may be used in the production of pizzas.
Example 2 A skimmed milk is pasteurised for 15 s at 75C. The milk thus pasteurised is cooled to 37C and inoculated with a culture of lactic ferments. Biological acidification is left to con-tinue to pH 5.8. After cooling to 20C, ultrafiltration is carried out in an apparatus of the tubular type equipped wlth cellulose acetate membranes having a cut-off of 20'000.
Ultrafiltration is continued at ambient temperature to a re-duction in the volume of the retentate to one third of the initial volume. During ultrafiltration, acidification is continued and the retentate has a pH equal to 5.3. The reten-tate is neutralised to pH 6.3 by the addition of sodium hydro-xide and then heated to 50C. Hydrogenated palm oil having atemperature of 60C is then added in such a quantity that the end product contains 45 % of fats based on dry matter. The concentrate thus standardised is homogenised under a pressure of 200 bars. It is heated for 20 s to 82C by the injection of steam and then cooled to 10C in a plate-type heat exchan-ger. Its pH is adjusted to 5.2 by the addition of hydrochloric acid, followed by spray drying. A powder is obtained which, after reconstitution, has the same properties as Mozzarella, particularly its stretching and stringing properties.
If this powder is rehydrated with different quantities of water ranging from 40 to 60 ~ by weight of dry powder and then heated to different temperatures ranging from 5G to 80C, a pasty mass is obtained in each case, so resembling as to be mistaken for Mozzarella.
If the powder is rehydrated without heating and if a pizza is made with the mass obtained, the product removed from the oven has the appearance, texture and taste of a pizza made from traditional Mozzarella.
