The rheological properties of the resultant fresh cheese were stodied e.g. hardness, adhesiveness, cohesiveness, elasticity. gwnminess and chewiness. Using fibers caused a decrease in hardness and elasticity while the other rheological properties were increased. The resultant cheeses were also analysed chemically (moisture. total nitrogen, acidity, saIt and ash) and microbiologically for tola1 bacterial connt, coliforms and yeasts & moulds. The yield was calculated and the sensory evaluations were also carried out when fresh and during storage for two weeks in refiigerator. The results showed that all treated cheeses were better than the control cheese. The best treatment was that treated with 1.0 % inulin. Thus, this treatment Was examined for microstrnclnre by scanning electron microscopy compared with the control UR - http://nile.enal.sci.eg/EALE/2004/AASM/4204/1/103.pdf ER -
