Low Fat Cheese Market

In an attempt to produce a lower-fat cheese with a softer and more velvety texture, Reisfeld and Harper (1955) added buttermilk to their recipe. This low-fat Cheddar cheese is distinguished by its dry body and hard, rubbery texture. However, Madsen et al. (1966) found that adding fresh or reconstituted buttermilk to cheese milk after three months of ripening resulted in low-fat cheese that was harder and rubberier and had more unpleasant odours. Mayes et al. (1994) reported on the use of buttermilk for low-fat Cheddar cheese, but Turcot et al. (2002) showed that low-fat Cheddar cheese made from milk enhanced in buttermilk phospholipids was softer than control cheese, and after 8 weeks of ripening, it took on a bitter and rancid taste.
Fat plays a big part in the texture of cheese. Textural defects in low-fat cheese that are most frequently mentioned include graininess, rubberiness, hardness, dryness, and weakness. The fat's even dispersion throughout the casein matrix gives full-fat cheeses their silky smoothness. Compared to full-fat Cheddar cheese, which has an open microstructure, low-fat Cheddar cheese has a more closed structure.

Market Dynamics
Driver 
As part of a balanced diet, consuming lower-fat, lower-sodium cheeses in moderation can help lower blood pressure. Try the goat cheese, parmesan, ricotta, cottage cheese, and feta.
The greatest choice for weight loss when attempting to cut back on calories and fat in the diet is low-fat cheese. It doesn't make you as fat as other cheeses. This kind of cheese is beneficial for individuals who are watching their caloric intake. It's an excellent source of calcium and protein as well. Low-fat cheese's flow and machinability in the heat are examples of its mechanical qualities, which may or may not be its main selling points. Flaws in the flavour of the food can be covered up or offset by other ingredients, but problems with flow or machinability cannot be. Condiment cheeses are frequently the easiest to achieve the required flavour in, depending on the variety and requirements.
Low-fat cheese is the type that has performed the best when used as an ingredient. Blue, Asiago, Romano, Cheddar, and low-fat smear-ripened kinds are often used since they readily provide the necessary flavour. It is only surpassed by low- or non-fat cheese used as a foundation for process cheese, which is likely the second most produced type of cheese (after cottage cheese, of course).


Restraints
Researchers studying low-fat Cheddar cheese face a number of challenges, including changes in consumer perceptions of the cheese's flavour as a result of the reduction of buttery notes brought about by the cheese's lower fat content and higher production costs because higher-priced ingredients are used to replace the cheese's fat. Even if low-fat cheese is becoming more and more popular, regular cheese is still very popular. Some consumers could think that low-fat cheese is of worse quality than full-fat cheese. Reluctance to adjust and preferences for traditional cheese flavours may make reduced-fat cheese substitutes less popular.


Opportunity
With continued study and development, low-fat cheese can have better taste, texture, and nutritional value. The market for reduced-fat cheese has enormous potential to expand. Many people who want to reduce the amount of fat in their diets choose to use smaller amounts, consume less cheese, or substitute other foods. One simple method for food manufacturers producing low-fat products and restaurants wishing low-fat menu items to comply is to simply remove the cheese from the entrée or product. In every case, flavour is compromised and nutritional value is reduced. Modern methods such as physical separation and supercritical fluid extraction can now be used to remove fat. This invention made it possible to physically remove the fat from old Cheddar cheese by using centrifuge. By analysing the efficacy of fat removal at various temperatures, gravity forces, and force application times, a method was developed. As a result, the amount of saturated fat in a serving of cheese was reduced from 6.3 to 3.1 grammes, although the flavour intensity remained similar to that of full-fat cheeses.
