Sumario:In this study, the (1)H HRMAS-NMR (High-resolution Magic Angle Spinning-Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) spectra of 52 cheese samples obtained from the South Korean dairy farms were evaluated for their metabolic profiling and intensities associating with the sensory qualities. The NMR profiles displayed a broad range of compounds comprising amino acids, carbohydrates, organic acids, and phospholipids. Afterwards, the cheese samples were categorized into three groups (more likeness - G1, moderate likeness - G2, less likeness - G3), in relating to their sensory scores. The NMR data of the samples were later investigated through multivariate statistical tools to define the variations in metabolic fingerprints of every cheese sample and their intensities hailing in individual sensory groups. The unsupervised PCA employing all cheese samples unveiled the uniqueness in metabolite profiles of the brown and cheddar type cheeses (outliers). Moreover, Gouda and other types of cheeses displayed samples positioning in respective of their metabolite profiles. The pairwise comparison of sensory groups in the supervised models perceived better separation in OPLS-DA than PLS-DA. The corresponding VIP (PLS-DA) and loading (OPLS-DA) plots revealed amino acids and organic acids (lactate, citrate) as significant variables. The discrimination of G 1 Gouda type of cheeses against G 2 and G 3 was highly associated with their citrate levels. Further investigation using heatmaps displayed clear differentiation between each sensory group in terms of the levels of amino acids, lactate, citrate, phospholipids, and glycerol, conveying these variations are likely due to proteolytic and metabolic processes in cheese ripening. This study concluded that (1)H HRMAS-NMR metabolite profile of the Korean cheeses is consistence with their sensory qualities. Further, the candidate metabolites identified in this study confers their potential application as biomarkers in cheese industries for faster and effective validation of sensory characteristics.
