Although the art of making cheese can be traced to prehistoric
times, it has continued to evolve as modern civilization
progressed. The advent of new technologies and instrumentation has
brought exponential growth in the understanding of cheese
components and their function. Even more recently, the evolution of
cheesemaking has accelerated, driven by economic factors such as
the establishment of the European Economic Community, the changing
diet of developed countries, and the environmental and economic
concerns associated with whey disposal. Molecular biology has
revolutionized the development of starter and adjunct cultures as
well as rennets, and genetics will make it possible to maintain
ideal milk components for cheesemaking. The ability to accelerate
traditional ripening procedures has altered the production of
certain cheeses, and the emphasis on decreasing the intake of
dietary fat, especially in the United States, has prompted the
development of technology for producing low-fat cheeses with
traditional texture and flavor. In assembling a distinguished group
of participants for the symposium, "Chemistry of the
Structure/Function Relationships in Cheese," we hoped to review the
interplay of these trends and forecast the direction of future
research. Contributors evaluated the current status of cheesemaking
and highlighted the information that will be essential for new
developments. They also focused the attention of agricultural and
food chemists on the opportunities in cheese research and the
potential contributions they might make to the future of cheese, a
most valuable food product. We are indebted to Dr. Patrick Fox, Dr.
Mark Johnson, Dr. Milos Kalab, Dr.
