Asino cheese is a traditional Italian cheese ripened in a special dilute brine (salmuerie), mixed with whey, milk and milk cream. The aim of this work was to ascertain whether this processing technology can influence amine production. The study demonstrated that biogenic amine content increased gradually in the Asino cheese during the soaking phase in brine. Moreover, the biogenic amine content of the salmuerie was very high and the salmuerie and the Asino cheese had a similar relative profile in amine content. These results suggested that the biogenic amines migrate from the brine into the cheese as a result of the concentration differential existing between the two systems. © 2009 Society of Dairy Technology.

Abstract

Asino cheese is a traditional Italian cheese ripened in a special dilute brine (salmuerie), mixed with whey, milk and milk cream. The aim of this work was to ascertain whether this processing technology can influence amine production. The study demonstrated that biogenic amine content increased gradually in the Asino cheese during the soaking phase in brine. Moreover, the biogenic amine content of the salmuerie was very high and the salmuerie and the Asino cheese had a similar relative profile in amine content. These results suggested that the biogenic amines migrate from the brine into the cheese as a result of the concentration differential existing between the two systems. © 2009 Society of Dairy Technology.
