INTRODUCTION

Cheese, which accounts for ",30% of total milk usage, is a dairy product of major economic importance. World production of cheese is '" 15 x 106 tonnes per annum, with an estimated value ofUS$ 5.5 x 1010. Approximately 7% of total production is traded on the global market, the major suppliers being the EU (",50%), New Zealand (",16%) and Australia (",11 %) (S0rensen, 1997). Cheese is an extremely versatile product, which may be consumed directly or indirectly as an ingredient in other foods (Figure 25.1). Cheese is a major ingredient in the catering sector, where it is used in an extensive array of applications, including omelettes, quiches, sauces, chicken cordon bleu and pasta dishes. Cheese is also used extensively in the industrial food sector for the preparation of ready-to-use grated/shredded cheeses and cheese blends and for the mass production of cheese-based ingredients such as pasteurized processed cheese products (PCPs), cheese powders and enzyme-modified cheeses (EMCs). These ingredients are, in turn, used by the food service industry (such as burger outlets, pizzerias and restaurants) and by the manufacturers of formulated foods such as soups, sauces and ready-prepared meals. When used as an ingredient in foods, cheese is required to perform one or more functions (Ginzinger, 1995; Market Tracking International, 1998). In
