Abstract

This work aimed to investigate some of new fabric materials as a useful tool in cheese making. Two main yarn materials were used 100% cotton and 100% Tencel LF. Single and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) in seventeen treatments were studied. The lower bacterial contents were observed with 100% Tencel single 0.78 log10 CFU /cm 2 , and 1.81 log10 CFU /cm2 of polyvinyl alcohol 100% cotton .
The highest syneresis with control, polyvinyl alcohol, and cotton samples were recorded 218,304, and 340 ml. whey , respectively on the other hand, the low whey syneresis per ml. The best results were found with single and PVA cotton textiles.
Conclusively, the present  investigation recommended Tencel PVA as a promising material for soft white cheese processing because the total solids of cheese curd sample was 70.85% and the lowest moisture content was determined in the rang 27.38 to 29.15 %. Also texture analysis results showed best Firmness, Adhesiveness, Cohesiveness and chewiness compared to the traditional cheesecloth as control.
