Summary: | The aim of our study was to evaluate the impact of cheese (Pirotski
kachkaval) fortification by polyphenols attributed to Kitaibelia vitifolia
ethanol herb extract, applied in two different manners (added to the cheese
curd after texturizing or sprayed on surface of cheese). Investigation of the
used antioxidant effects of polyphenols, physic-chemical composition,
microbiological quality and sensory properties of Pirotski kachkaval was
undertaken. Antioxidant activity of conventional and fortified cheese was
evaluated by five contemporary and compatible methods, and revealed a slight
emphasis on phenol-linked antioxidant activity of fortified samples of cheese
in comparison to samples of the control group. Fortified Pirotski kachkaval
had higher sensory evaluation scores than the controls. Statistically
significant (P < 0.05) changes were observed in moisture content and total
solids of control and modified series of cheese, but other parameters did not
differ significantly (P > 0.05). |
