Extension of shredded Mozzarella cheese shelf-life at ambient temperatures
By: Markus Walking-Ribeiro, Adi Md Sikin, and Dr. Syed Rizvi
Sustainable and safe preservation of cheese, avoiding spoilage or pathogenic contamination from production to consumption, has been a food processing challenge for a long time. In 2013 mozzarella ranked first, with a 33.4 percent share of 11.1 billion pounds of cheese produced in the United States (USDA, 2013). Its commercial relevance is well indicated by the main consumers, food service or fast food chains, using the dairy product, for instance, as topping in baked preparations such as pizza and au gratin dishes or as an ingredient in other foods (Mastromatteo et al., 2014). However, having to maintain the cold chain after cheese processing to minimize microbial growth, extend the shelf-life and retain the physico-chemical and organoleptical quality is still a major drawback based on the energy requirements and costs for refrigeration, location and climate dependant availability, and the associated lack of convenience for consumers to keep the cheese refrigerated at all times.
