AI Technical Summary
Existing methods for preparing flavoring agents mainly rely on single enzymatic hydrolysis or microbial fermentation, which makes it difficult to achieve good sensory characteristics and flavor effects at the same time, resulting in the products being at a disadvantage in market competition.
A combination of hydrolytic enzymes and active lactic acid bacteria starter cultures was used, specifically Protease AY "Amano" 400SD protease and Lactococcus lactis BL19, to prepare a cream-type bacterial enzyme co-promoting cheese flavoring agent through enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation. Enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation conditions were controlled to optimize sensory characteristics.
The prepared cream-type microbial enzyme co-promoted cheese flavoring agent has a rich creamy flavor and good sensory characteristics, which enhances the product's market competitiveness and consumer acceptance.

Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of food flavor preparation, and particularly relates to a good-sensory-property butter-type microbial enzyme co-promoted cheese flavor and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Food flavor plays a decisive role in food flavor, and the aroma and taste of food flavor will be unexpectedly improved after adding appropriate flavor. The food flavor can impart aroma to food raw materials, correct the bad smell in food, supplement the deficiency of the original aroma in food, and stabilize and assist the inherent aroma in food. Enzymatic technology and microbial fermentation method are two commonly used flavor improvement methods and are widely used in food processing. Protein metabolism occurs under the action of protease, which can not only enhance the nutritional value of aroma base, but also impart unique flavor and taste to aroma base, and has a certain degree of improvement effect on the texture and organization of aroma base. Lactococcus BL19 is a lactococcus with excellent fermentation properties, 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, it can ferment fast and produce volatile substances with cheese aroma, so that the product has good cheese aroma. It has a good application prospect as a fermenting agent.
[0003] The sensory of flavor is not only related to the quality of enzyme-fermented butter, but also directly affects the sales and the acceptance of consumers in market competition. The flavoring effect of milk aroma base prepared by enzyme method can reach 200 times, and the flavoring material is rich and full. The milk flavor base prepared by microbial fermentation method has developed rapidly in recent years. Microbial fermentation produces milk characteristic aroma components such as butanedione and 3-hydroxybutanone, or decomposes milk fat and milk protein to obtain products with more natural, soft and realistic aroma, and the aroma intensity can be increased by 100-300 times. At present, most of the flavor preparation methods only use the above single method. The present application aims to provide a butter-type microbial enzyme co-promoted cheese flavor with good sensory properties and a preparation method thereof. SUMMARY
[0004] To solve the above problems, the application provides a butter-type microbial enzyme co-promoted cheese flavor with good sensory properties and a preparation method thereof, and aims to provide a butter-type microbial enzyme co-promoted cheese flavor with good sensory properties.
[0005] In the first aspect, in order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the application provides a butter-type microbial enzyme co-promoted cheese flavor with good sensory properties, which is prepared by the following technical scheme:

[0007] Further, the viable count of the active lactic acid bacteria is 1.0×10 5 CFU / mL, preferably 1.0×10 11 CFU / mL; 1.0×10 6 CFU / mL; 1.0×10 7 CFU / mL; 1.0×10 8 CFU / mL; 1.0×10 9 CFU / mL; 1.0×10 10 CFU / mL.
[0008] In a second aspect, the application provides a method for preparing a butter-type cheese flavor agent with good sensory properties by jointly using a hydrolytic enzyme and a lactic acid bacteria starter, comprising the following steps: obtaining melted butter, adding the hydrolytic enzyme, performing enzymatic hydrolysis, adding the active lactic acid bacteria starter after enzyme inactivation, and performing fermentation.
[0009] Further, the addition amount of the protease is 0.10%-0.20% (wt%), preferably 0.13%-0.18% (wt%).
[0010] Further, the enzymatic hydrolysis temperature is 45-55℃, preferably 48-52℃.
[0011] Further, the enzymatic hydrolysis time is 1-5h, preferably 2-4h.
[0012] Further, the addition amount of the active lactic acid bacteria is 0.004%-0.008% (wt%), preferably 0.005%-0.007% (wt%).
[0013] Further, the fermentation time is 40-56h, preferably 46-50h.
[0014] Further, the fermentation temperature is 25-35℃, preferably 28-32℃.

By using the above technical scheme to process the creamy bacteriophage co-promoted cheese flavor agent, the process is simple and the preparation efficiency is high. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
