Implementation of HACCP in the production of Egyptian cheeses: A review. Issue 2 (18th February 2023) - Farag, Mohamed A.
Abstract: Significant difficulties about the function of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) in manufacture of three genuine varieties of Egyptian cheese, namely Domiati, Karish, and Ras's cheeses, are covered in this review. Benefits of implementing HACCP include complementing other quality management systems, improving food safety, making better use of resources, boosting productivity and quality, providing better security and lowering inspection rates, responding to issues quickly and effectively, and fostering international trade cooperation. The setting is important for the manufacturing, security, and quality control of cheese. A common household item across the world that is fermented dairy‐based and high in protein, calcium, amino acids, vitamins, phosphorus, and fat is cheese. Egypt consumes more cheese than any other country in North Africa, which is helped by the wide selection of cheeses on offer, includes soft, brined, salted, semi‐soft, and hard cheeses. Three illustrated graphics explain the manufacturing flow of each cheese with reference to critical control points determination were created using text that was obtained from the references that were accessible. As lists of dangers, important control limits, monitoring, and corrective measures for cheese manufacturing, three exemplary tables were equally given. These provide readers with a more thorough summary of all results. Abstract : This review is significant addressing all issues related to the role of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) in the production of three authentic and popular types of Egyptian cheeses, which are Domiati, Karish, and Roumy (Ras's cheese). Egypt has the highest cheese consumption rate in North Africa, and this is encouraged by the large variety of cheeses available including soft, brined, salted, semi‐soft and hard cheeses. HACCP implementation benefits include complementation of other quality management systems.
