Effect of encapsulated olive leaf extract on the physicochemical, rheological and antioxidant properties of Cantal-type cheese by Ines Tarchi, Mohamed Bouaziz, ZuhaibF. Bhat, Abderrahmane Aït-Kaddour

“…Cheeses were enriched with varying levels (1.0 %, 2.0 %, and 3.0 % w/w) of either free (OLE) or encapsulated (E-OLE) olive leaf extract. Multiple quality parameters were systematically assessed, including composition, physicochemical properties, antioxidant capacity, textural profile, microbial counts, rheological behaviour, and colour.The results indicated that E-OLE supplementation led to significant modifications in cheese composition. …”
