TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of food flavor preparation, and particularly relates to a butter type cheese flavor agent and a processing technology. BACKGROUND
[0002] Natural butter has the processing characteristic of insufficient aroma, and the butter is subjected to aroma enhancement treatment to prepare milk flavor base, which is beneficial to enriching butter aroma and improving butter aroma intensity. Enzymatic hydrolysis technology and microbial fermentation method are two commonly used flavor improvement methods and are widely used in food processing. Lipase hydrolyzes triglycerides of fatty acids, glycerol, ketones and hydroxy acids into saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, ketones and hydroxy acids to form precursor substances of various flavor components, and a series of flavor substances are generated through natural oxidation, cleavage, lactonization and the like. Lactococcus BL19 is a lactococcus with excellent fermentation characteristics, which was isolated from acidified milk in Buryatia, Russia in 2012. The protein hydrolysis of lactococcus BL19 is relatively complete, the acid production speed is fast and the post-acidification is not serious, as a fermenting agent, the fermentation speed is fast and volatile substances with cheese aroma can be produced, so that the product has good cheese aroma, and the lactococcus BL19 has a good application prospect as a fermenting agent.
[0003] The sensory of the flavor agent not only reflects the quality of the enzymatically hydrolyzed and fermented butter, but also directly affects the sales volume, consumer preference and acceptance degree of the flavor agent in market competition. According to the aroma characteristics, the butter aroma can be divided into fat aroma, milk aroma and acid aroma, which are derived from the lipolysis of milk fat, the hydrolysis of milk protein and the fermentation of lactose. However, the enzyme hydrolysis method and the emerging microbial fermentation method, which are currently widely used in milk aroma enhancement, only utilize the single action of the above-mentioned methods, and the milk fat, milk protein and lactose components of the butter are not fully utilized. The present application aims to provide a butter type bacteria-enzyme co-promoted cheese flavor agent and a processing technology. SUMMARY
