Abstract
Summary: A method for making Domiati cheese (soft cheese) from a mixture of soybean milk and whole milk has been reconstructed. The results obtained showed some important differences in cheese characteristics as the result of using soybean milk, particularly in the higher moisture, soluble nitrogen and acidity contents. The main organoleptic property affected by the soymilk was the flavour. This improved on ripening.A number of changes were observed during ripening. The presence of soymilk resulted in (1) less loss of cheese moisture and consequently cheese weight, (2) increase in the development of titratable acidity and (3) increase in protein breakdown.It is suggested that the soybean milk activates the lactic acid, producing bacteria and the proteolytic enzymes present in cheese.
