Abstract

Cheese prepared from camel milk by direct acidification (60% acetic acid and heating at 66.4C°) were evaluated. Chemical analysis of the cheese samples was done and the mean values of the main components were obtained. Thirty panellists estimated the cheese according to the sensory evaluation (colour, flavour, taste, body texture, saltiness, overall acceptability). Overall the sensory evaluation was acceptable to most of the panellist. The optimum temperature was 66.24°C and pH 4.3. It was concluded that cheese can be prepared from camel milk by coagulating milk with acidification by acetic acid and heating processes.
