TY - JOUR TI - The Effect of Sodium Caseinate or Chitosan Edible Coatings on Some Chemical Textural and Microbiological Characteristics of Kashar Cheese AB - This study aimed to evaluate the effects of the edible coatings produced from casein, casein / transglutaminase enzyme, and chitosan on certain chemical, textural, and microbiological properties of Kashar cheese over a storage period of 60 days. The use of edible coatings affected the levels of nitrogen fractions (water-soluble nitrogen, trichloroacetic acid-soluble nitrogen, and phosphotungstic acid-soluble nitrogen) and the lipolysis level of Kashar cheese to a statistically significant extent (P<0.05 for all). The levels of nitrogen fractions and lipolysis in the uncoated control group cheeses increased significantly (P<0.05) during the storage period compared to coated cheese. Cheese samples coated with chitosan yielded significantly lower yeast-mould counts compared to samples that were uncoated or coated with sodium caseinate or sodium caseinate/transglutaminase at the end of the storage period (P<0.05). The results indicated that the edible coatings had a significant effect on the chemical, textural, and microbiological properties of Kashar cheese.
