ABSTRACT


Background and Objective Sauces from cheese are highly used in prepared and pre-prepared meals in the food sector. Besides
submitting good flavor, often cheese sauces are desired to present functional and visible roles, i.e., color, texture and mouth-feel. This
study aimed to prepare novel natural sauces from processed cheese flavored with essential oils. Essential oils EOs that contribute to its
antioxidant, antimicrobial, flavor and color properties. Materials and Methods Plain processed cheese sauces were manufactured from
whey protein concentrate 75 and acid casein curd 25. Cheese sauces were flavored with 2 of some essential oils turnip, shallots,
Capsicum and cardamom and 1 sugar. The base blends were standardized to contain 65 moisture and 29 fat in dry matter in the
resultant cheese sauces. Plain cheese sauces were evaluated for chemical, texture, color parameters and sensory properties during storage
at 7C. Results The values of total solids, fat, ash and lactose were decreased significantly by increasing of addition of WPC and decreasing
of AC curd. The protein was only compounds that increased significantly p0.05 by the addition of WPC to the blend cheese. The pH
values also significantly increased by increasing the ratios of WPC to the cheese blends. No chemical changes in the flavored cheese
sauces. The lightness L-values of PC sauces made with different EOs had the lowest values, as follow Turnip, shallots, Capsicum and
cardamom, respectively. Moreover, PC sauces were made with Capsicum and cardamom oils light orange and pink colors, respectively
had the highest a and b-values light yellowish color than the others. The flavors of PC sauces were generally better and preferable
by the panelists. Also, the body, texture, appearance and color were accepted. Generally, PCs manufactured with cardamom and turnip
oils gained the highest scores. Conclusion According to the obtained results, it can be produce processed cheese sauces with high quality
and acceptability from easy and cheap materials and flavored with essential oils, which had many benefits in human health.
