1.	Write short note on the following:Production of cheese.
Answer» Cheese is made from cow’s milk throughout the world. The steps in the process of cheese manufacture are as follows: Chemical and microbiological testing of milk is done. Three types of bacteria, viz. Lactobacillus lactis, Lactobacillus cremoris and Streptococcus thermophilus along with some colour is added to the milk. It imparts sourness to the milk and it is converted into yoghurt like substance. The water from this yoghurt, i.e. whey is not removed to make the yoghurt denser. Enzyme, rennet or protease is added to the mixture to make it more denser. Later cutting the solid yoghurt into pieces, washing, rubbing, salting, land mixing of essential microbes, pigments and flavours is done in suitable steps. The pressed cheese is then cut in to pieces and stored for ripening.
