Abstract

Traditional emulsifying salts used in processed cheesemaking contain high concentrations of sodium and phosphorus, which may represent a health threat to some individuals, especially those with chronic kidney and liver diseases. Therefore, it is urgent to search for safe alternatives to commercial phosphate-containing emulsifiers to be used in the manufacture of low-phosphorus processed cheese spread (LP-PCS).
