The Calcium and Phosphorus Content of Commercially Made Cottage Cheese

New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station, New Brunswick, N. J.

ABSTRACT

Analyses of 102 samples of commercially made cottage cheese showed a mean total solids content of 22.80 per cent, a mean ash content of 1.22 per cent, a mean calcium content of 0.080 per cent, and a mean phosphorus content of 0.230 per cent.

The composition of the cheeses varied widely between samples and with the companies making the cheese.

There was some tendency for the cheese of low solids content to have a high calcium content.

Comparison with analyses given for other human foods indicates that cottage cheese is a good source of calcium and phosphorus in the human diet.
