A preliminary study of soft cheese degradation in different packaging conditions by 1H-NMR

Magn Reson Chem. 2008 Sep;46(9):828-31. doi: 10.1002/mrc.2258.

Abstract

This preliminary work deals with the influence of packaging on the degradation of an Italian soft cheese studied by NMR. The NMR profiles of aqueous cheese extracts were acquired as a function of time during storage of cheese inside and outside the original package. From the NMR spectra 15 metabolites are quantified and used in a kinetic degradation model and in a multivariate algorithm in order to evaluate the changes in the metabolic composition of cheese stored under different conditions.
