Summary Annotation Cheeses are complex microbial ecosystems and aspects of their flavour development remain poorly understood. The biochemistry of flavour development and the contribution of certain cheese-making parameters to flavour development, for example, have not yet been fully elucidated. As flavour is a key element in product acceptance among consumers, controlling and improving the flavour of cheese is an important issue for professionals in the cheese industry. With contributions from a distinguished team of authors, this collection reviews the wealth of recent research in the area CONTENTS Sources of flavour in cheese; Metabolites of starter organisms and flavour; Biochemistry of flavour development. Part 1 Cheese flavour development and microbial physiology: Physiology of lactic acid bacteria and cheese flavour production; Starter culture development; Adjunct culture metabolism; Carbohydrate metabolism; Amino acid metabolism; Microbial species characterisation to identify commercially important traits; Genetic manipulation of lactic acid bacteria; Functional genomics and flavour. Part 2 Ingredients and processing parameters and flavour: Ingredients responsible for flavour development; Milk quality and pasteurisation; Enzymes; Bacteriocins; Pressure and cheese flavour; Controlling off-flavours; Monitoring fermentation and ripening. Part 3 Modelling and sensory evaluation of cheese flavour: Defining cheese flavour; Measuring cheese flavour; Modelling to predict flavour. Part 4 Case studies: High temperature hard cheeses; Sortripened cheeses; Low-fat cheeses.
