Ewe raw milk composition, rennet coagulation parameters, and curd texture were monitored throughout the milk production season in 11 commercial flocks reared under a part-time grazing system. Milking season lasted from February to July. During that period, the diet of the animals shifted from indoor feeding, consisting of concentrate and forage, to an outdoor grazing diet. Lean dry matter, fat, protein, calcium, and magnesium contents increased throughout the milking season, as did rennet coagulation time, curd firmness, and curd resistance to compression. However, lean dry matter, protein content, and curd resistance to compression stabilized when sheep started to graze. Principal component analysis correlated curd resistance to compression and proteins, whereas curd firmness was highly correlated with fat content and minerals. Discriminant analysis distributed milk samples according to the feeding management. Curd firmness, fat, and magnesium turned out to be discriminant variables. Those variables reflected the evolution of the composition and coagulation parameters when fresh pasture prevailed over other feeds in the diet of the flocks. The present study shows that seasonal changes associated with feeding management influence milk technological quality and that milk of good processing quality can be obtained under part-time grazing.

Terpene composition of ewes' raw milk from nine commercial flocks was analysed from February to July. Ewes' diet consisted of concentrate and conserved forage in winter (indoor feeding) and part-time grazing from spring (transition and outdoor feeding). Regardless of the feeding, limonene and β-phellandrene were the most abundant monoterpenes and β-caryophyllene showed the highest concentrations among sesquiterpenes. Terpene content increased in the milks of commercial flocks when animals were reared under grazing management. Monoterpenes were detected in the milks of all the commercial flocks throughout the season, whereas sesquiterpenes were only detected in the milks from flocks grazing on non-cultivated community-owned grasslands in which a higher biodiversity of plant species grew. These preliminary results indicated that β-caryophyllene could be a potential pasture-diet marker in the case of milks from animals grazing a higher biodiversity of plant species but in-depth studies including information on terpene composition of plants ingested by the animals are necessary to evaluate the suitability of β-caryophyllene or another terpenoid compound as pasture biomarker.

Rennet coagulation parameters, curd texture and gross compositional variables were studied in ewes' raw milk samples from nine commercial flocks using different concentrate:forage ratios and grazing times. From early lactation to March flocks were fed concentrate pellets and hay whereas from April to the end of lactation flocks were allowed to graze from 6 to 19 h/day receiving concentrate supplementation in the morning and evening. Milk from late-lactation flocks, when allowed to graze, showed higher content of fat, dry matter, protein, casein, soluble protein, total calcium, curd firmness and curd resistance to compression than the milk from early lactation flocks. Higher total calcium content and lower fat content were found when the early lactation flocks were fed high concentrate: forage ratio than when the flocks were fed low ratio. Curd firmness were lower for milk from flocks fed high concentrate:forage ratio, and the curd resistance to compression was greater, than for milk from flocks fed low ratio. At late lactation, when flocks grazed for a long time per day the total calcium content was higher than when the flocks grazed for a short time per day. Principal component analysis showed that protein and fat content were highly correlated with coagulum and curd firmness, whereas total calcium content was highly correlated with curd resistance to compression, and milk pH with rennet coagulation time.

In this paper, we describe the effect of the addition of pregastric lipase on the composition and sensory properties of Idiazabal cheese. Free fatty acids (FFA), partial glycerides, free amino acids (FAA), gross composition and sensory characteristics were determined at different ripening times in cheeses manufactured with three different amounts of commercial animal lipase or with lipase-containing artisanal lamb rennet paste. The addition of lipase increased the content of total FFA, particularly of short-chain FFA, and that of total partial glycerides in cheeses. Unexpectedly, lipase utilization significantly affected total FAA concentration, which decreased in cheeses elaborated with high lipase amount. In general, Val, Glu and Leu were the major FAA, and their concentrations depended, mainly, on ripening time. Lipase addition had significant influence on the sensory characteristics of the cheeses, increasing scores for most of the flavour and odour attributes of the cheese. Principal component analysis (PCA) was done including dry matter, FFA, FAA, partial glycerides and odour and flavour attributes of the cheeses. It indicated that aroma and flavour parameters of Idiazabal cheese and the content of short-chain FFA and diglycerides were highly correlated to first principal component (PC1), while texture parameters, compositional variables and FAA were correlated to the second principal component (PC2).

The effects of pH, coagulation temperature, CaCl_2 and enzyme concentrations on the rennet clotting properties of milk were assessed. Rennet coagulation time, coagulum firmness, curd firmness and gel firming rate were the coagulation parameters measured using a gelograph. A multifactorial design, considering two levels of coagulation temperature (28 and 44℃), pH (6.0 and 6.8) and concentration of CaCl_2 (10 and 18 mM), was applied. pH showed the most important influence on rennet coagulation time and gel firming rate, while coagulation temperature showed the highest contribution to predict the firmness parameters. The effects of the interactions among pH, coagulation temperature and CaCl_2 concentration were significant, except for curd firmness. Rennet coagulation time was the parameter most affected by two- and three-factor combinations. The interaction between pH and CaCl_2 concentration was the only combination of factors that affected coagulum firmness and gel firming rate. However, curd firmness was affected only by coagulation temperature.

HS-SPME analysis of terpenes does usually have inherent quantification problems when working with complex samples, especially due to the matrix effect of the substrate or the calibration solution. Three different terpene carrier matrices were compared: methanol, synthetic oil and milk fat obtained by cen-trifugation from milk cream. Considerable differences in calibration sensitivity parameters were observed depending on the matrix used and on the type of terpene standard analysed. For milk sample quantification purposes internal standard method was preferred using milk fat as calibration matrix. Linearity range, repeatability, recovery and limits of detection and quantification were determined. Validation parameters were different depending on the concentration and molecular structure of each terpene analysed, particularly between mono- and sesquiterpenes. The method was useful to determine in an accurate manner the terpene content in milk samples from pasture fed animals, and it will help to establish objective terpene levels to differentiate milks from specific production systems.

This work studied the addition of an adequate lipase to enhance lipolysis reactions and the development of piquant flavour and sharp odour in Idiazabal cheese, as an alternative to the use of lamb rennet paste. Cheeses were manufactured from bulk raw ewes' milk in 50 I vats with commercial bovine rennet and 80 lipase units of pregastric or 180 lipase units of fungal lipase and ripened for 180 days. A higher lipolytic activity was induced by lipase addition promoting strong changes in odour and flavour attributes. Both fungal and pregastric lipases increased the content of total free fatty acids (FFA), but the fungal lipase released mainly medium- and long-chain FFA. In contrast, the pregastric lipase preferably released short-chain FFA. Diglyceride (DG) content was considerably higher in cheeses made with added pregastric lipase compared with those made with fungal lipase or with no lipase. Monoglycerides (MG) were detected only in cheeses made with either lipase added, reaching comparable concentrations after ripening for 180 days. The cheeses made with pregastric lipase had the highest scores for odour and flavour intensity, and sharp and rennet odours, desirable attributes for the Idiazabal cheese made with lamb rennet paste. None of the texture attributes were significantly influenced by the concentrations of MG and DG in the cheeses made with either lipase. Thus, the pregastric lipase was more appropriate than the fungal lipase to develop a more traditionally-flavoured Idiazabal cheese.

Different dynamic headspace DHS methods used for determination of volatile compounds in cheeses were compared. Three different laboratories using gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry carried out the analyses of volatile compounds of Spanish Protected Designation of Origin ewe's raw milk cheeses. One laboratory used -purge and trap- P&T with thermal desorption of the trap by ultrafast microwave heating MWH and the other two laboratories used P&T with thermal desorption of the trap byresistive heating RH. Each method detected around 78-85 different individual compounds which belonged to different chemical groups, namely, acids, alcohols, ketones, esters, aldehydes, sulphur compounds, hydrocarbons and terpenes. Using the P&T-MHW method, larger percentages of acids and aldehydes in the cheeses were found compared with the P&T-RH methods, whereas the contrary occurred for the percentages of alcohols and ketones. Differences in the percentages of some volatile compounds such as ketones, alcohols and acids between the laboratories using P&T-RH under different analytical conditions were also recorded. The results pointed out differences in the selectivity for the extraction of various volatile compounds from cheese samples according to the DHS methods used, particularly when using tenax or graphitised carbon as trap absorbents. In spite of these differences, both P&T-MWH and P&T-RH methods were equally satisfactory for the comparison of the different cheese varieties. However, each of the DHS methods was more suitable for the characterisation of the volatile compounds of a particular cheese type.

Volatile composition and aroma compounds of Idiazabal PDO cheeses made in winter and spring were compared. In these seasons flock management differs: concentrate and conserved forages are fed in winter whereas a part-time grazing system is used in spring. Commercial cheeses from ten farmhouses were analysed during ripening. Acids, carbonyl compounds, esters, and alcohols were the main volatiles in both seasons. The shift from winter to spring management led to a higher proportion of esters and alcohols, and a lower proportion of ketones and aldehydes. More than 30 odour-active compounds were identified by olfactometry with butanoic acid, ethyl butanoate, ethyl hexanoate and 2-heptanone being the principal ones. Coinciding with fresh pasture grazing in spring, the odour impact ratios of esters and alcohols increased, indicating that spring cheeses might have more intense fruity and sweet overtones in comparison with winter cheeses.
