“…Nevertheless, in Serra da Estrela, a cheese with low FFA levels (o1500 ppm) aged for six weeks, Partidario et al (1998) observed lipolysis of mainly the low molecular weight fatty acids together with a decrease of the contents of the low molecular weight triglycerides in the cheeses as compared to those in the milk. Similarly, other workers have reported substantial variations in the TAG composition, with decreases in the low molecular weight TAGs in cheeses with high lipolysis levels (Battelli & Pellegrino, 1994;Na´jera, Barcina, de Renobales, & Barron, 1998a, 1998b.…”
