RT Journal Article T1 A Metabolomics Study by 1H HRMAS NMR: From Sheep Milk to a Pressed-Curd Cheese: A Proof of Concept A1 Castejón Ferrer, David A1 Segura Plaza, José Francisco A1 Cruz Díaz, Karen Paola A1 Remiro Yagüe, Víctor A1 Fernández Valle, María Encarnación A1 Romero De Ávila Hidalgo, María Dolores A1 Villa Valverde, Palmira A1 Cambero Rodríguez, María Isabel AB For the first time, High-Resolution Magic Angle Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy (NMR-HRMAS) was applied to directly identify specific metabolites from a Spanish raw ewe’s milk and enzymatic coagulation pressed-curd cheese (Protected Geographical Indication: Castellano) manufactured by two procedures (traditional/artisanal vs. industrial) and including the ewe’s raw milk. The NMR parameters were optimized to study the complex matrixes of this type of cheese. In addition, conventional overcrowded 1H-NMR-HRMAS spectra were selectively simplified by a Carr–Purcell–Meiboom–Gill (CPMG) sequence or a stimulated echo pulse sequence by bipolar gradients (DIFF), thus modulating spin–spin relaxation times and diffusion of molecular components, respectively. 1H-NMR-HRMAS spectroscopy displayed important information about cheese metabolites, which can be associated with different manufacturing processes (industrial vs. traditional) and ripening times (from 2 to 90 days). These results support that this spectroscopy is a useful technique to monitor the ripening process, from raw milk to commercial ripened cheese, using a minimum intact sample, implying the absence of time-consuming sample pretreatments.
