PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS
INTRODUCTION
tribute to the flavor of cheeses made with raw milk (Gaya et al. 1990; Grappin
and Beuvier 1997). Cheeses made from raw milk had larger concentrations of
alcohols, acids and sulfur compounds, and smaller concentrations of ketones
and aldehydes, than did cheeses made with pasteurized milk (Buchin et al.
1998).
Recently, Kilic and Lindsay (2006) showed that pasteurization reduced
arylsulphatase activity that could reduce hydrolysis of alkylphenols, which
contribute to the enzymatic reactions that aid in producing the flavor in
cheese.
Flavor differences between cheeses made from raw or pasteurized milk
have been identified in previous studies. Pasteurization not only reduced
sensory defects, but also reduced the overall flavor of ripened cheese (Morgan
et al. 2001). Xanthopoulos et al. (2000) reported that the use of pasteurized
milk in a Greek cheese, Anevato, resulted in a lack of the characteristic flavor
of the cheese. Mendia et al. (1999) studied Idiabazal-type cheese from ewe’s
milk and found that raw-milk cheese was more pungent and salty, while
pasteurized-milk cheese generally was creamier and sweeter. For Morbier
cheese made from cow’s milk, Buchin et al. (1998) found that the raw-milk
cheese had a stronger flavor and that the flavor was more indicative of the
specialized flavor of the cheese type rather than the more dairy-like character
of the pasteurized-milk cheese. Beuvier et al. (1997) found a higher overall
aroma intensity and pungency in raw-milk Swiss cheese when compared with
pasteurized-milk cheese. However, each of these studies compared a specific
type of cheese under controlled conditions rather than commercially available
samples.
The objectives of this study were to (1) establish the flavor profiles of
commercially available French cheese made from raw or pasteurized milk, and
to (2) determine whether overall differences in flavor and aroma existed
between commercial cheeses made from raw or pasteurized milk.
Samples
Seven types of commercial French cheeses were selected on the basis
of their market availability in both pasteurized and raw-milk versions. The
cheeses formed a diverse set and are described in Table 1. The seven types
were Brie, Coulommier, Camembert, Muenster, Saint Nectaire, Chèvre and
Bleu.
All but one of the cheeses were made from cow’s milk; the Chèvre cheese
was made from goat’s milk. All samples were obtained from the same supplier,

but pairs of the same type of cheese were not necessarily made by the same
manufacturer. The raw and pasteurized cheeses in each pair were selected for
similar appearance and ripening stage. Because the cheeses used were com-
mercially available samples, the exact ripening times and previous ripening
conditions were not known.
Panelists
As is typical with flavor profile panels, assessments were made by five
professional panelists from the Sensory Analysis Center at Kansas State Uni-
versity, Manhattan, KS, who were involved in this study. All were highly
trained, having completed 120 h of intensive sensory training with a minimum
of 1,000 h of general sensory testing experience, including more than 100 h
spent evaluating dairy products. Flavor profile panels, usually, are composed
of four to six panel members (Keane 1992). Chambers et al. (1981) showed
that panels with small numbers of highly trained panelists provided consis-
tently valid information.

Test Methodology
Each sample was evaluated for odor, flavor and aftertaste. The procedure
for determining attributes, definitions and references was adapted from the
flavor profile method (Keane 1992) and previously used in other studies (for
example, Prell and Sawyer 1988; Heisserer and Chambers 1993; Lotong et al.
2000; Vara-Ubol et al. 2004; Matta et al. 2005; Bott and Chambers 2006;
Chambers et al. 2006; Talavera-Bianchi and Chambers 2008). Panelists were
provided with a lexicon previously developed to describe the flavor of a wide
variety of natural cheeses, including French cheese (Heisserer and Chambers
1993; Rétiveau et al. 2005), and had access to a generalized flavor lexicon
(Civille and Lyon 1996). They were asked to modify and adapt that terminology
to suit the cheeses used in this study. Other researchers have used trained
panelists to describe the flavor and texture of dairy products (Karagul-Yuceer
et al. 2007; Yates and Drake 2007; Talavera-Bianchi and Chambers 2008).
Panelists were asked to be as specific as possible and to identify attributes in
their smallest possible components (i.e., avoiding the use of complex attributes
that can be broken into several simple attributes). Vocabulary was discussed, and
agreement was reached on attributes, definitions and references. The intensities
of the references were scored on a 15-point numerical scale divided into
half-point increments, with 0 indicating “none” and 15 indicating “extremely
strong.” Sensory descriptors, definitions and references are provided in Table 2.
The panelists evaluated each cheese independently and wrote down the
descriptors present, the order of appearance and the intensity of each descrip-
tor. After all panelists were finished, the panel leader led a discussion to
develop a consensus on the cheese profile. Five evaluation sessions of 2 h each
were necessary to develop profiles for the 14 cheeses. Generally, four samples
were evaluated per session. Room temperature reverse osmosis, deionized,
carbon-filtered water; unsalted crackers; and apple slices were provided for
palate cleansing during testing.
Statistical Analysis
Data were analyzed by principal component analysis (PCA) using SAS
software (SAS, SAS Institute, Cary, NC). The objective of the PCA was to map
the cheese flavor profiles to help in understanding the major attribute dimen-
sions that differentiate the flavors of pasteurized and raw-milk cheeses.
Because some of the attributes were unique to only one or two of the cheeses
– and can cause problems in PCA – only attributes that were common to most
of the cheeses and represented the major base flavor of these specific French
cheeses were included in the PCA. Those attributes were the following:
buttery, dairy fat, dairy sweet, dairy sour, earthy, moldy, salty, oily mouthfeel,
butyric, astringent, sour, bitter, pungent and sharp.

Odor, flavor and aftertaste profiles for the 14 cheeses are provided in
Tables 3–5. The differences in odor intensity between raw and pasteurized
cheese were striking for most of the cheese pairs. Overall odor strength was
scored higher for raw-milk cheeses than for pasteurized-milk cheeses in
almost every pair. Most of the odor attributes were similar to the major flavor
attributes in the profiles.
A summary of the major differences in flavor between cheeses made from
raw and pasteurized milk is presented in Table 6. All the raw-milk cheeses had
higher ratings for both “butyric” and “moldy” attributes. French cheeses made
from pasteurized milk were rated higher for the “musty–earthy” note. The two
descriptors, “musty–earthy” and “moldy,” appeared to be in opposition.
“Musty–earthy” was found predominantly in pasteurized-milk cheeses, while
moldy was found predominantly in raw-milk cheeses. “Musty–earthy” is a
musty aromatic associated with potato and damp humus (earth), whereas
“moldy” is the aromatic associated with mold growth. These two attributes are
similar, but “moldy” might be seen as a flavor characteristic associated with
more microbial growth, which might explain why it was found predominantly
in raw-milk cheeses.
Most French cheeses made from raw milk had higher scores for “goaty,”
“fermented,” “sharp-bite” and “bitter.” The high scores for these attributes
might be explained by the occurrence of more chemical degradation during the
ripening of raw-milk cheeses. These findings are in accordance with Mendia
et al. (1999), who found that a ewe’s milk cheese made from raw milk was
more pungent. Also, Buchin et al. (1998) reported higher scores for the
attributes such as “rancid,” “bitter,” “pungent” and “spiced” in raw-milk
Morbier cheese. Most French cheeses made from pasteurized milk had higher
scores for the dairy attributes, including “buttery,” “dairy fat” and “dairy
sweet.” This predominance of such dairy notes suggests that less chemical
degradation takes place during the ripening of pasteurized-milk cheeses. The
studies conducted by Mendia et al. (1999) and Buchin et al. (1998) also
showed that pasteurized-milk cheeses were creamier and had higher scores for
milk and fresh milk attributes than raw-milk cheeses.
Some distinctions need to be made based on the different cheese families.
Soft cheeses with white rind (Brie, Coulommier, Camembert and Saint
Nectaire) had similar sensory profiles. For this group, raw-milk cheeses had
higher scores for “goaty,” “sharp-bite,” “bitter,” “butyric” and “moldy.” Most
of the raw-milk cheeses also scored higher for “pungency,” “astringency” and
“fermented” attributes. Those same cheese types made with pasteurized milk
had higher scores for the dairy notes, such as “buttery,” “dairy fat” and “dairy
sweet,” compared with the raw-milk cheeses. However, Camembert cheese did

not follow this pattern completely. Camembert cheese made from pasteurized
milk scored higher for “fermented,” “chemical ammonia,” “sauerkraut,” “ani-
malic” and “pungent” attributes. It is possible that the ripening provided by the
mold may have interacted differently when natural bacteria in raw-milk cheese
were present or this particular cheese sample may have ripened more than the
raw-milk Camembert sample.
The pair of Chèvre cheeses followed the same trend as that observed with
the soft cheeses with white rind. Chèvre cheese made from raw milk had
higher scores for “fermented,” “butyric,” “goaty,” “moldy,” “astringency,”
“pungency,” “sharp-bite,” “bitter” and “sour.” In contrast, Chèvre cheese from
pasteurized milk was earthier and had a higher score for “dairy fat.” Bleu
cheese made from raw milk scored also higher for “moldy,” “butyric,” “sharp-
bite” and “bitter.” Conversely, Bleu cheese from pasteurized milk was earthier,
with less intensity than the moldy-flavored raw-milk Bleu cheese.
The flavor comparison for Muenster cheese was somewhat different from
that of other cheeses. Although the overall odor score for the raw-milk Muen-
ster was higher, as has been found for other cheeses, other characteristics did
not necessarily mimic the raw/pasteurized differences found in the other
cheeses: higher scores for “sweaty,” “green” and “animalic.” Muenster made
from pasteurized milk had higher scores for “sharp-bite,” “fermented,”
“goaty,” “pungency,” “astringency,” “bitter” and “sour” attributes. In the other

cipal component (PC2) helped differentiate the cheese types, but not the
milk treatment, because samples from the same type of cheese were likely to
have equivalent scores on PC2.
Milk pasteurization reduces lipolysis and proteolysis, both of which
generate a diversity of odiferous compounds, including acids, alcohols,
ketones, esters and amino acids. As a result, some of the compounds that
produce the unique flavor of raw-milk cheeses might be present in higher
concentrations in these cheeses than in pasteurized-milk cheese. Sable and
Cottenceau (1999) found that the compounds responsible for the “pungent”
and “sharp” flavors in cheeses were acetic acid, propionic acid,
4-methylpentanoic acid, hexanoic acid, 3-methylpentanol, 4-methylpent-3-en-
2-one and ethyl formate. Beuvier et al. (1997) showed that higher levels of
pungency in raw-milk cheeses might be caused by higher amounts of phos-
photungstic acid-soluble nitrogen, as well as acetic and propionic acids (Sable
and Cottenceau 1999). Lemieux and Simard (1992) concluded that the bitter-
ness found in raw-milk cheeses might be associated with an increased con-
centration of bitter-tasting peptides produced through proteolysis. In cheeses,
the “butyric” note might be caused by volatile fatty acids (El Soda et al. 1995)
such as 2-methylpropionic acid, butanoic acid, pentanoic acid or decanoic acid
(Sable and Cottenceau 1999).
CONCLUSIONS
French cheeses made with raw milk differed in odor and flavor from the
same cheese types made with pasteurized milk. Results suggest that cheese
made from raw milk have a higher overall aroma intensity and somewhat
different flavors, especially sharp, butyric, bitter, goaty and moldy, than those
made with pasteurized milk. Soft cheeses with white rind (Brie, Coulommier,
Camembert and Saint Nectaire) as well as Chèvre cheese and Bleu cheese
were affected similarly by heat treatment of milk, suggesting a somewhat
generalized effect of pasteurization on cheese flavor. Cheeses made from
pasteurized milk generally scored higher for “musty–earthy,” “buttery” and
“dairy fat.” Sensory characteristics of Muenster cheese did not follow the
general pattern for the other cheeses tested. Muenster cheese made from raw
milk was “sweaty,” “green,” “animalic” and “butyric”; Muenster cheese made
from pasteurized milk scored higher for “goaty,” “fermented,” “sharp-bite,”
“pungency” and “bitter” attributes.
These data suggest that many, but not all, cheese types have more general
dairy attributes (dairy sweet and dairy fat) and lower intensities of some
characterizing flavor notes when made from pasteurized milk. To obtain the
