Changes in the Level of Various Nitrogen Compounds During the Ripening of Blue Cheese Made with Mucor Rennet

Mucor Rennet으로 제조(製造)한 Blue Cheese 숙성중(熟成中) 각종(各種) 질소화합물(窒素化合物)의 변화(變化)

This experiment was carried out to study the practical utility of Mucor rennet in making Blue cheese and to investigate the changes in the level of various nitrogen compounds. 1. The Mucor rennet cheese, the calf rennet cheese and the mixed rennet cheese did not show any significant difference in their yields. 2. The dry matter contents of Blue cheese was increased during the ripening and the levels of Mucor rennet did not have any influence in these respect. 3. The water soluble nitrogen contents of Blue cheese increased during ripening. On 0 day of ripening the Mucor rennet cheese contained water soluble nitrogen than the calf rennet cheese. On 40 days of ripening the mixed cheese contained less water soluble nitrogen than the calf rennet cheese. 4. Non protein nitrogen, peptone amino nitrogen, water soluble protein nitrogen, proteose nitrogen and peptone nitrogen appeared to contain similar levels of water soluble nitrogen. 5. The results of electrophoresis indicated a greater degredation on as-casein and ${\beta}$-casein in the Blue cheese made with Mucor rennet than in those made with calf rennet. On 60 days of ripening the mixed cheese more casein than did the Mucor rennet cheese. 6. The free amino acid contents of the Mucor rennet cheese was higher than the calf rennet cheese at 60 days of ripening.

Mucor rennet의 이용(利用) 가능성(可能性)을 타진(打診)하기 위하여 Blue cheese를 제조(製造)하고 그 각종(各種) 질소화합물(窒素化合物)의 특성(特性)을 조사(調査)한 결과(結果)를 요약(要約)하면 다음과 같다. 1. Blue cheese의 수율(收率)은 calf rennet과 Mucor rennet간(間)에는 큰 차이(差異)가 없었다. 2. 숙성과정중(熟成過程中) cheese의 고형분(固形分) 함량(含量)은 증가(增加)하였고 첨가비율(添加比率)에 따른 차이(差異)는 인정(認定)되지 않았다. 3. water soluble nitrogen은 숙성(熟成)이 진행(進行)됨에 따라 증가(增加)하였으며 숙성초일(熟成初日)부터 calf rennet에 비(比)하여 Mucor rennet 편이 높았고 숙성(熟成) 40일(日)부터는 혼합(混合)rennet이 calf rennet보다 낮았다. 4. non protein nitrogen, peptone amino nitrogen, water soluble protein nitrogen, proteose nitrogen, peptone nitrogen 및 숙성율등(熟成率等)도 water soluble nitrogen과 동등(同等)한 변화(變化)를 보였다. 5. Mucor rennet으로 제조(製造)한 Blue cheese casein을 전기영동(電氣泳動)한 결과(結果) as-casein과 ${\beta}$-casein의 분해도(分解度)가 높았으나 calf rennet로 제조(製造)한 Blue cheese의 as-casein과 ${\beta}$-casein의 분해도(分解度)는 비교적 낮았고 숙성(熟成) 60일(日)에는 Mucor rennet 처리구(處理區)의 casein은 다소 잔존(殘存)함을 알 수 있었다. 6. Blue cheese를 60일간(日間) 숙성(熟成)시켰을때 유리(遊離)아미노산(酸) 함량(含量)은 Mucor rennet으로 제조(製造)한 cheese보다 전(全) 숙성기간(熟成期間)동안 많았다.
