Questions this course answers

Why is cheese melting unlike ice melting?

Casein, fat, and water rearrange together; the framework does not vanish into a pure liquid.

Put the softening sequence in order.

Useful melt sits in the middle of that chain.

What do emulsifying salts mainly help processed melting cheeses do?

They help rebuild a heat-stable protein-fat emulsion for controlled flow.
