Cheese Aging for 9-12 months at 4.5-10C to develop sharp flavor the process is also called ripening.

CLA content of milk seems to vary more between individual cows than different breeds, and is related to rumen biohydrogenation and A9-desaturase activity in the mammary gland (Lock and Bauman, 2004 Peterson, Kelsey, and Bauman, 2002). In cheese, aging, processing, type of package, origin of miUc, and lipid and protein content all affect the CLA content (Lin et al., 1998 Werner, Luedecke, and Schultz, 1992). 

Soybean-Based Cheese. In tofu cheese manufacture, the soybeans are cooked to give soy milk, then formed into a curd using calcium sulfate, and pressed to give tofu. The tofu is inoculated y ctinomucor elegans fermented, salted, and aged to form sufu (soft cheese) (17). This product is widely used ia the Orient and is gaining acceptance ia the United States. 

When linezolid is used with antiplatelet drugs such as aspirin or die NSAIDs (see Chap. 18) diere is an increased risk of bleeding and thrombocytopenia When administered widi die MAOIs (see Chap. 31) the effects of the MAOIs are decreased. There is a risk of severe hypertension if linezolid is combined widi large amounts of food containingtyramine (eg, aged cheese, caffeinated beverages, yogurt, chocolate, red wine, beer, pepperoni).

Emilia-Romagna, a region which represents a twentieth of the total land area of Italy, contains 2,300,000 head, a quarter of the national pig population. This population is not distributed uniformally within the region, but is concentrated in the area where Parmesan cheese is produced. Swine rearing in this area is an age-old tradition since it is linked to the production of whey, which has always been used as a feeding stuff. 

The plants and animals we have chosen to use as foods naturally contain, as we have already noted, thousands of chemicals that have no nutritional role, and when we eat to acquire the nutritionally essential chemicals we are automatically exposed to this huge, mostly organic, chemical reservoir. Of course, human beings have always manipulated foods to preserve them or to make them more palatable. Processes of food preservation, such as smoking, the numerous ways we have to cook and otherwise prepare food for consumption, and the age-old methods of fermentation used to make bread, alcoholic beverages, cheeses and other foods, cause many complex chemical changes to take place, and so result in the introduction of uncounted numbers of compounds that are not present in the raw agricultural products.
