Colloidal Interactions in Alternate Make Cheeses
Read article at Massey Research Online: 
Mozzarella is one of the most widely consumed cheeses across the world. Its particular material and sensory properties, especially when cooked, provide a recognizable and desirable consumer experience. Recently within New Zealand, the industrial production of Mozzarella cheese has been developed towards an alternate manufacturing process, where cheese structure is able to be manipulated under highly controlled conditions. Ms Luo studied the role of emulsion structure and stability in relation to the microstructure, material properties and technical functionality of an alternative make cheese. Her research has provided valuable results to understand how dynamic changes to cheese microstructure during processing, storage and utilization impact on the cheese material, functionality and quality outputs.
