Abstract

The effect of cold and hot filling on the chemical, microbiological and organoleptic properties of cream cheese was studied. Cheese was made from standardized buffalo's milk (5-12% milk fat). Results showed that the hot filling extended the shelf life of cream cheese up 6 weeks, while cold-pack cheese suffered from quick spoilage. Hot filling also improved the sensory properties and overall acceptability of single and double cream cheese.
