Effects of Storage on Vitamin-Fortified Cheddar Cheese Spread

Abstract

A study on vitamin fortified, cheddar cheddar cheese spread was conducted at Natick Research and Development Laboratories (NLABS) to determine if the product would retain its acceptability and nutritional value in extended storage. One and one-half ounce packets of fortified and unfortified cheese spread were stored for up to three years at 4 C and 21 C and for up to two years at 38 C. At six-month intervals samples were analyzed for sensory and nutrient data. This testing resulted in the recommendation that thermoprocessed, flexibly packaged, cheddar cheese spread be fortified with vitamin A, ascorbic acid, thiamin, and pyridoxine.
