The evolution of free fatty acids (FFA) was monitored over 168 d of ripening in Cheddar cheeses manufactured from good quality raw milk (RM), thermized milk (TM; 65°C x 15 s), and pasteurized milk (PM; 72°C x 15 s). Heat treatment of the milk reduced the level and diversity of raw milk microflora and extensively or wholly inactivated lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity. Indigenous milk enzymes or proteases from RM microflora influenced secondary proteolysis in TM and RM cheeses. Differences in FFA in the RM, TM, and PM influenced the levels of FFA in the subsequent cheeses at 1 d, despite significant losses of FFA to the whey during manufacture. Starter esterases appear to be the main contributors of lipolysis in all cheeses, with LPL contributing during production and ripening in RM and, to a lesser extent, in TM cheeses. Indigenous milk microflora and nonstarter lactic acid bacteria appear to have a minor contribution to lipolysis particularly in PM cheeses. Lipolytic activity of starter esterases, LPL, and indigenous raw milk microflora appeared to be limited by substrate accessibility or environmental conditions over ripening.

Key Words: Cheddar cheese • lipolysis • heat treatment
