Abstract (EN):
Fatty acids and cholesterol compositions, in both fresh and mature cheeses, prepared in accordance with the Manchego-type cheese with different fat compositions, using milk enriched with avocado oil were evaluated. Fresh cheese enriched with avocado oil showed an increase of 52% in polyunsaturated acids in full-fat milk and 98% in skimmed milk. Mature manchego style cheeses enriched with avocado oil showed an increase of 32% in polyunsaturated acids in full-fat milk and 61% in skimmed milk. Multivariate analysis (non-linear mapping, hierarchical cluster analysis, and linear discriminating analysis) of the fatty acids composition in newly prepared cheeses confirmed that they were different from the traditional cheeses and that a small set of fatty acids (myristoleic, lauroleic, eicosenoic, caproleic, stearic, palmitoleic, and margaroleic) can be used to develop classification rules.
