Abstract

See full text

A process for producing cheddar cheese having accelerated ripening properties. The process involves using a ripening aid which is a protease derived from the psychrotrophic flora of raw milk, and preferably from the bacteria Pseudomonas fluorescens. The ripening aid is added to the milk starting material prior to or simultaneously with the treatment with a coagulant (renneting agent) and it remains in the cheese product and enhances the development of desirable flavor during the aging (ripening) of the cheese.
