Abstract

This project aims to study the effects of essential oils to prolong the shelf life of cream cheese made from goat milk. The process started from the use of lactic acid bacteria, Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis and Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris to precipitate milk protein at 30 °C until the curd had pH 4.3 and then the whey was separated. Two types of essential oils, clove and tangerine peel in a ratio of 20 and 100 ppm, respectively were added with the cream cheese to improve consumer acceptance and extended shelf-life. The tangerine peel essential oils could extend the shelf life of goat milk cream cheese up to 15 days at 4 ± 1 °C. The consumer preferred goat milk cream cheese enriched with orange peel essential oils than that of cloves essential oils.
