| Summary: | The effect of partial or total substitution of sodium chloride by potassium chloride on the chemical composition, texture profile and sensory properties of Telemea cheese during 28 days of ripening at 4°C was evaluated in the current study. Telemea cheese was ripened in 4 different brine solutions (20%, wt/wt) made from different NaCl:KCl ratios as follows: (NaCl (A), KCl (B), 1NaCl:1KCl (C) and 1NaCl:2KCl (D)). The physicochemical properties of Telemea cheese (dry matter, fat, protein, ash, pH, total nitrogen (TN), water soluble nitrogen (WSN) and ripening degree values) were determined after 1, 7, 14, 21 and 28 days of ripening. Dry matter, pH and ripening degree values were significantly (p < 0.05) affected during ripening. The results of this study indicated that replacing 66% NaCl with KCl influenced the texture profile and sensorial characteristics of Telemea cheese. |
