More than 500 varieties of cheese are produced in the world, and each of them possesses its typical sensory characteristics. Flavour depends on milk variety, starter bacteria used in cheese-making and ripening. \u0000Amino acids and free fatty acids (FFA) act mainly as precursors of a series of catabolic reactions, still not well understood. These reactions lead to the production of aroma compounds such as esters, fatty acids, aldehydes, alcohols, ketones, hydrocarbons, lactones, and sulphur. \u0000Enzymes involved in all these processes are derived from milk, Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB), Non-Starter Lactic Acid Bacteria (NSLAB), rennet, or fungi. In cheese industrial production, the milk pasteurization process leads to the removal of endogenous bacteria, therefore it is necessary to add exogenous enzymes to enrich and standardize cheeses flavour. \u0000Here, we reviewed some exogenous enzymes used in industrial cheeses production, or which have interesting potential in cheese making and ripening.\u0000","PeriodicalId":10944,"journal":{"name":"Current Nutrition & Food Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49122821","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its progression is closely tied to age. Although there are a number of arthritis types, such as, ankylosing, gout, joint infections, juvenile idiopathic, reactive and septic; the two most common types are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis causes the articulating smooth cartilage that covers the ends of bones, where they form a joint, to breakdown. Rheumatoid arthritis is a disease in which the immune system attacks joints, beginning with the cartilaginous lining of the joints. The latter is considered a systemic disease, i.e. affecting many parts of the body, but the respiratory system is involved in 10 to 20 % of all mortality. Osteoarthritis is one of the leading causes of disability globally. Several preventive measures to control arthritis have been suggested, such as the use of analgesics, non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs, moderate to vigorous physical activity and exercise, reducing sedentary hours, getting adequate sleep and maintaining a healthy body weight. Foods including, a Mediterranean diet rich in fruits and vegetables, fish oil, medicinal plants and microbiota are vital protective methods.
