The present invention relates to a method for moderately increasing the content of dimethyl disulfide in casein-containing processed cheese. The method includes the following steps: taking a cheese powder, adding chymosin for enzymolysis, and subjecting a material obtained after the enzymolysis to puffing and drying to obtain a modified cheese powder; preparing materials; taking the modified cheese powder, heating the modified cheese powder under stirring until the cheese powder is melt, adding sodium bicarbonate to adjust the pH to 6-7, and adding papain for enzymolysis; taking a material obtained after the enzymolysis, adding butter, a skimmed milk powder, fructo-oligosaccharide and water for mixing by stirring, and then adding an emulsifying salt, glutamine transaminase and salt for uniform heating and stirring to obtain a mixture; and subjecting the mixture to heat treatment, hot filling and cooling in sequence to obtain processed cheese.

The present application relates to a microcapsule comprising a core comprising one or more hydrophobic agents dispersed in a gel matrix; a proteolytically-cleavable outer polymer shell surrounding said core; and an enzymatically-cleavable lipid layer between said core and said shell. Also described are methods of making and using the microcapsules.

Food products including artificial eyes or eye voids interspersed throughout the product are provided by forming a visco-elastic mass of the food product and combining pieces of solidified carbon dioxide with the visco-elastic mass. The solidified carbon dioxide sublimes throughout the visco-elastic mass and forms carbon dioxide gas. The carbon dioxide gas expands and forms eye voids nearly instantaneously and the fully formed eye voids are provided in the food product in a matter of hours. In addition, gaseous carbon dioxide stored under pressure, such as through encapsulation or in a pressurized vessel, is combined with a visco-elastic mass and the released carbon dioxide gas expands and forms eye voids defined within the visco-elastic mass.
