Abstract
The influence of traditional smoking on the triglyceride (TG) composit ion of Idiazabal cheese during ripening was studied using HPLC. The pa rtition numbers (PNs) of the TGs ranged between 22 and 53, the groupin gs of TG peaks with PN values of 36, 34, and 33 being the main contrib utors. Statistically significant differences between the smoked and th e unsmoked cheeses were recorded during the ripening period. Smoking h ad a significant effect on certain groups of TGs at different ripening times and no effect on others. The differences in the TG profiles of the cheeses were the result of differing levels of lipolytic activity, which was heightened by smoking.
