Low fat cheese, primarily hard varieties have been reported to have a rubbery body and unacceptable flavour as compare to the full fat counterparts. However, soft low fat cheese varieties is reportedly to have an acceptable results and acceptability in the commercial markets. (Mistry 2001). Hence the prime aim of this research is to focus on the hard type cheese varieties mainly, Cheddar.
Limitation pertaining in the low fat cheese has provided an immense scope in the research field to overcome the problem related to the unacceptability of flavour, texture and functionality of low fat cheese. Hence this study will mainly focus upon improving the texture of low fat Cheddar cheese by an assumption of incorporating more amount of moisture by using a fat replacer mainly a hydrocolloid to impart a similar texture to the full fat variety.

2.1. Cheese: definition and classification
In accordance with CODEX Standards, cheese can be defined as a ripened or unripened soft, semi-hard, hard or extra hard product within which the whey protein to casein ration do not exceed that of milk, which can be obtained by coagulating wholly or partly the protein of milk, skim milk, cream, whey cream or buttermilk by partly draining the whey portion which results due to coagulation by suitable coagulating agents such as rennet (FAO 1978). Coagulation of protein can also be carried out by processing techniques which are capable
Cheez-It Crackers is a brand of processed baked crackers, owned by Kellogg's, made to be enjoyed for snacking, dipping, etc. Cheez-Its were introduced in 1921 and had previous owners: the Green and Green Company in 1919 and the Keebler Company in 1996.

The first objective is to study the effect of food processing on molecular structure of processed food. This objective will be achieved through applying detailed molecular structure characterization studies on food processed under different processing parameters. This objective is aiming fundamental knowledge on processing effect on food structure with relating food structure to their functionality.
Part 1 The way people perceive taste is impacted by a number of factors. These include, but are not limited to, age, weight, hormones, sickness and disease, smoking, and diet. Diet is the factor that this paper focuses on. Diet is impacted by the way people taste in that people are used to eating a certain amount of additives and preservatives. Some eat a very low amount, while for others, everything they eat contains additives and preservatives. There is a large range, but this paper will be focusing on two sides: people who eat a moderate to high amount of additives and preservatives in their daily life —this group will be referred to as Group 1—and people who eat very little to none—this group will be referred to as Group 2.
Foods such as cheese included in the product will have to be chosen offering longer shelf lives;
At Olympic Cheese, I noticed a man stirring olives and helping the other employees with locating specific cheeses. I then interviewed this man, who was named George, and he told me that the specialty of his store was both imported and domestic cheeses. He told me that there were about 700 kinds of cheese sold there, and that he had worked in this business for 55 years [4]. From my own observations, I noticed that the shelves were all full, but very organized-looking. After waiting in line, I sampled the aged cheddar and brie cheeses, which were at room

Also taking note is the major packaged food companies such as Campbell’s, Frito-Lay and Nestle. In their attempts to improve flavor and reduce sodium, fat, and sugar, they have begun ramping up umami flavoring. Consumers are also more label conscious and prefer to see natural umami ingredients listed compared to long chemical type additives, which is helping to fuel these changes. Frito-Lay has recently begun researching the use of umami ingredients from both Asian and Latin countries – such as fermented soybean products, anchovy powder and cheese powder. Another company related to the dairy industry has funded research related to what causes Swiss and cheddar cheeses to have umami characteristics. All of these companies hope to make umami flavors more quickly and consistently in both current and future

Eric Finkelstein shows an insight on how the wrong food can affect the body in a bad way causing life threating disease. Finkelstein claims that when food science and food processing became more popular so did the obesity rate. Statistics and experiments are included to explain in numbers how highly processed food has affected people and what those people can do to make a change in their diets. Finkelstein is an associate research professor in the Duke Global Health Institute at Duke University he is also in the Health economics field. Finkelstein is well known for his studies examining the economic costs of obesity. This source will be used to give a background on what is good and what is bad for someone to consume.
