Funded Activity Summary

Development of mature and intense flavours in low-fat cheeses using micro-encapsulated enzyme technology. Obesity related diseases are escalating in Australia. Consumers, although encouraged to favour low-fat alternatives in their diet to combat obesity, find low-fat alternatives unpalatable and continue to select full-fat alternatives. There is a need to provide consumers with a full-fat flavoured low-fat cheese. The aim of this project is to develop low-fat cheese products with flavours comparable to fully ripened, mature, full-fat cheeses using microencapsulation technology. The outcome will be a rise in demand for low-fat cheese products that will reduce dietary fat intake while maintaining the positive nutritional benefits associated with cheese.
