Ксения Александровна Канина For the production of elite cheeses with mould, the basic raw material is cow ’s milk, but goat’s milk is also of increasing interest. Goat milk has a high protein and fat content, is rich in vitamins, macro- and microelements. Therefore, the object of the study was represented by cow ’s milk obtained from the Jersey cows and goat’s milk obtained from goats of the Saanen breed. According to physical and chemical parameters, the milk of cows and goats of these breeds was characterized by a high content of fat and protein, which affect the yield and quality of cheese. The goat milk cheese clot had a more delicate structure during the formation of the cheese layer and a sharp taste due to the different composition of medium-chain fatty acids. In the process of cheese ripening, changes in a number of physicochemical parameters such as cheese acidity, mass fraction of moisture, and amino acid composition of the protein are observed. On the 7-19 th day of ripening, a cheese head gets covered with white mold, the cheese consistency becomes softer, and it starts smelling with a “mushroom” hue. Starting from the 15-22 nd day, the cheese is completely covered with white mould and gets a smearing texture under the crust. Cheese made from goat’s milk have a more delicate consistency and structure of the cheese layer than those made from cow ’s milk, which is most likely due to biochemical processes that occur when cheese is ripened.
