Processed cheese was made from different samples of Iraqi white soft cheese by adding 3.5% emulsifying salts and 15–25% water depending on the chosen type of processed cheese. Arabic gum was used to firm the cheese at a rate of 0.08%. Total solids ranged from 46.8–43.4% in the firm and spread types, respectively. Laboratory processed cheese gave excellent quality compared with local processed cheese.
