ABSTRACT

Cheese is a concentrated dairy product produced by acid or rennet curdling of milk, stirring and heating the curd, draining off the whey, collecting and pressing the curd. In this study, Cheese was made from cow milk supplemented with tigernut milk and coconut milk in the percentage ratio of 25:25:50; 25:50:25; 50:25:25; 75:25:0; 75:0:25% cow- tigernut milk-coconut milk (v/v). The unsupplemented cow milk cheese was used as control. The quality, shelf life and sensory attributes of the cheese samples were examined. The effect of the supplementation was monitored as the cheese samples were stored at refrigeration temperature(4 C) and examined for yield, total titratable acidity, proximate analysis, microbial analysis and sensory quality. The percentage yield of the cheese samples showed significant differences (p
