Goat’s cheese

There are cases that indicate that goat protein allergens other than casein can be involved in food allergies to GM and even small quantities of protein can elicit clinical symptoms. A 27-year-old female patient experienced two episodes of urticaria after ingestion of goat s cheese. She tolerated cow s milk, dairy products, and sheep cheese but her skin tests were positive for goat s milk and goat s cheese (Tavares et al. 2007).

Similar to ricotta, savory cream cheese, or soft goat s cheese, this cheese has all the taste but none of the acidity of dairy cheeses. Also, it s high in usable calcium. It can be used to make vegetarian lasagna and other recipes that call for a soft cheese. It also makes a great dip for vegetables or Tortilla Chips (page 150), and a terrific sandwich spread.

The fresh, tangy flavor of goat s cheese is a wonderful addition to a cheese board. It s much easier to make soft cheese than it is to make hard cheese, and different herbs can be added to enhance the flavor.

Although cow s milk (whole, lowfat, skim, whey, cream, nonfat dry milk, or buttermilk) generally is used for manufacturing cheese in the United States, a small quantity of ewe s and goat s milk is also used (USDA 1978). Certain other countries use milk from camels, asses, mares, buffaloes, and reindeer, in addition to ewes and goats, to make cheese. 

Lactose is the characteristic carbohydrate of milk, averaging about 4.9% for fluid whole cow s milk and 4.8% for sheep and goat s milk. The commercial source of lactose today is almost exclusively sweet whey, a by-product of cheese making. Details of its production are given in Chapter 6. 

Making whey cheese is perhaps one of the earliest fermentations which used whey (or its components) as a substrate. Examples of such cheese include Schottengsied, Primost (Mysost), Ricotta, and Gjetost (made from goat s milk whey). Some kinds of whey cheese, however, do not involve a fermentation step. 

The detection of cow s milk in ewe s or goat s milk and cheese is yet another application of the HPLC analysis of peptides. Tobler et al. (125) used HPLC to examine the differences between the caseins in the milks of various species. Goat s- and cow s-milk cheese caseins were hydrolyzed with trypsin, and the peptides thus obtained were separated by reversed-phase HPLC. The chromatograms for the caseins of each species were reproducible and distinct. Subsequently,... 

Kaiser and Krause (57) used HPLC to separate the tryptic peptides in cow s-milk and goat s-milk cheeses and cheeses made from mixtures of these milks. These authors reported that the quantitative detection limit could be as low as 1 % cow s milk in goat s-milk cheese. Mayer et al. (125a) have developed a procedure for the separation of bovine, ovine, and caprine para ic-casein using cation-exchange HPLC.

I put all of my difficult patients on a high calcium diet— goat s milk, yogurt, cheese, nut and seed butters, kale, broccoli, and cod liver oil to help assimilate the calcium. Soon I was seeing much improved results. The spinal adjustments began to hold as long as they did with my other patients. I can tell you,... 

Best Calcium Foods Milk, yogurt, cheese (lactose-free products are now available for lactose-sensitive persons), goat s milk, soy milk, canned salmon, canned sardines, steamed leafy greens (kale, spinach, dandelion, mustard), broccoli, tofu, figs, legumes, and raw nuts and seeds (also their butters and milks). 

Several varieties of the popular Italian cheeses owe their characteristic flavor to the action of lipolytic enzymes. Romano is a very hard, ripened cheese. Originally, it was made from ewe s milk it is now also made from cow s and goat s milk. The sharp, peppery-like flavor, traditionally termed "piquant", results from extensive lipolysis ( 1).

Enterococci occur in a variety of cheeses, especially artisan cheeses produced in mostly Mediterranean countries from raw or pasteurized goat s, ewe s, water-buffalo s or bovine milk. Numbers of enterococci in different cheese curd range from l(f to 10 CPU g", and in the fully ripened cheeses their range is from 10 to 10 CPU g" (Franz et al. 2003). The most frequently isolated species are E. faecalis and E. faecium (Gelsomino et al. 2001), followed by E. durans (Cosentino et al. 2004 Suzzi et al. 2000). The European cheeses in which enterococci have been studied are in Table 3.
