The results of this work show that it is possible to rapidly quantify calcium, phosphorus, magnesium,
potassium and sodium in unknown cheeses elaborated with percentages (0100%) of milk from different
species (cow, ewe, goat) by direct application of the bre-optic probe on the sample without previous
destruction or treatment of the sample. Of the total number of samples, 170 were used to develop the
calibration models using the Modied Partial Least Squares (MPLS) regression method and 57 samples
were used for external validation. The multiple correlation coefcients (RSQ) and prediction corrected
standard errors (SEP (C)) obtained for calcium (0.74, 0.64), phosphorus (0.69, 0.29), potassium (0.86,
0.13), and sodium (0.92, 0.71) in g/kg respectively and magnesium (0.72, 30.9) in ppm, indicated that
the models developed allow the determination of Ca, P, K, Na and Mg in unknown samples of cheeses
of varying compositions up to 6 months of ripening.

1. Introduction
The consumption of cheese is of great nutritional interest due in
particular to its composition of micronutrients. The mineral content of the milk depends on numerous factors, such as genetic
characteristics, the stage of lactation, environmental conditions,
type of pasture and soil contamination among others (Anguita,
1996; Cichoscki, Valduga, Valduga, Tornadijo, & Fresno, 2002;
Gambelli, Belloni, Ingrao, Pizzoferrato, & Santaroni, 1999; Lucas
et al., 2006a, 2006b; Park, 2000; Patio, Faisal, Cedres, Mendez, &
Guanziroli-Stefani, 2005). The heavy metal in the cheese is fundamentally related to the manufacturing practices and possible contamination from the equipment during the process (Mendil, 2006;
Moreno-Rojas, Pozo-Lora, Zurera-Cosano, & Amaro-Lopez, 1994).
The minerals like sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium
and the anionic constituents, phosphate, citrate, chloride, carbonate and sulphate are found in the milk or associated to the casein
micelle (Anguita, 1996; Moreno-Rojas et al., 1994). Their participation has been demonstrated in the coagulation, drainage of whey
and the texture of the curds and properties such as the stability
to heat and the capacity to coagulate depend on them (Patio
et al., 2005). Particularly during cheese ripening some of the mineral salts may migrate from the central part towards the external
layer of the cheese block or vice versa due to the pH gradient effect
causing changes in the concentration of some elements in the nal
product (Moreno-Rojas et al., 1994).
The analysis of the mineral composition in milk and cheeses has
been performed by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission
spectrophotometry (Prieto, Franco, Gonzlez, Bernardo, & Carballo,
2002), ion exchange liquid chromatography, instrumental neutron
activation analysis (Gambelli et al., 1999), atomic absorption
spectrophotometry, atomic emission spectrophotometry (Lucas,
Andueza, Rock, & Martin, 2008; Moreno-Rojas, Amaro-Lopez,
Garcia-Gimeno, & Zurera-Cosano, 1995; Moreno-Rojas, AmaroLopez, & Zurera-Cosano, 1992) and ame and graphite furnace
atomic absorption spectrometry (Mendil, 2006).
In the last decades techniques like near infra-red (NIR) spectroscopy have been developed for the determination of majority parameters in cheese (Rodrguez Otero, Hermida, & Centeno, 1997;
Mazerolles, Duboz, & Hugot, 2000), control of ripening, or sensorial
characteristics (Ortiz, Sarabia, Garcia-Rey, & De Castro, 2006;
Karoui, Pillonel, Schaller, Bosset, & De Baerdemaeker, 2007). The
prediction of the mineral composition in fresh and freeze-dried
cheeses by NIR has been performed by (Lucas et al., 2008), previously grinding the samples of cheese.
Recently, the use of NIRS technology employing a remote reectance bre-optic probe has been studied for the analysis of the percentage of milk (cows, ewes and goats) used in the elaboration of
cheeses with different ripening times and also for the determination of peptides or texture (Gonzalez-Martin et al., 2007; Revilla

samples elaborated in summer, the higher concentrations of sodium are presented in cows cheeses in comparison to those of
goat.
The content of Mg does not present variations throughout the
process of ripening and its average levels of 401.2 ppm coincide
with those found in other studies (Cichoscki et al., 2002; Herrera
et al., 2006; Moreno-Rojas et al., 1994).

The best of the different mathematical treatments, concentration range and standard deviation for calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium and magnesium are shown in Table 2. The results
obtained indicate that it is possible to determine calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium and magnesium in cheeses of varying
compositions of cows, ewes and goats milk by the direct application of the bre-optic probe on the samples of cheese, without
treatment or manipulation.

nicance obtained were between 0.65 for magnesium and 0.15 for
phosphorus, potassium and sodium. There were no differences between the results obtained, so it can be concluded that the method
provides signicantly identical data to the starting reference data.
Table 3 shows the results obtained in the external validation, the
means of the residuals and the Root Mean Standard Error (RMSE)
values.
4. Conclusion
3.3. Validation
3.3.1. Internal validation (prediction)
Models evaluations were performed by cross-validation. In this
method, the set of calibration samples is divided into a series of
subsets, in our case 4. Of these, 3 were taken for the calibration
set and one for the prediction set. The process is repeated as many
times as there are sets, so that all pass through the calibration set
and the prediction set. Using this process, we validated the models
used and checked their prediction capacities. Fig. 2 shows the correlation of the values obtained in the laboratory with respect to
those predicted by NIR with a bre-optic probe for calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium and sodium in cheeses elaborated
with different percentages of cows, ewes and goats milk with ripening times of up to 6 months.
3.3.2. Prediction capacity of the model
The prediction capacity of the model obtained was evaluated
with the ratio performance deviation (RPD) (Williams & Sobering,
1996), a capacity parameter that is dened as the relationship between the standard deviation of the chemical method (SD ref) and
the standard prediction error (SEP) encountered in the NIRS model.
If the RPD value is greater than 2.5 the model is considered suitable. Table 2 shows the values obtained for RPD parameter that
were, comprehended between 3.8 for sodium and 1.8 for phosphorus. These results demonstrate that the capacity for prediction can
be considered excellent for the potassium and sodium, and acceptable for calcium, phosphorus and magnesium, indicating that NIRS
technology presents a capacity for prediction that is interesting for
the determination of mineral composition in samples of unknown
cheese of up to six months of ripening elaborated with milk (cows,
ewes and goats) from different seasons.
3.3.3. External validation
We checked the robustness of the method by applying NIRS
technology to 57 new samples of different compositions and ripening times which did not belong to the calibration group. The procedure was as follows: spectra were recorded in triplicate and the
spectral mean was taken. Then, the calibration equations obtained
during the work were applied and the predicted values were compared with the reference data for calcium, phosphorus, magnesium,
potassium and sodium determined by ICP-optic spectrometry.
The NIRS methodology and the reference data concerning the
calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium and sodium were
compared with those of samples not belonging to the calibration
model using the Students t-test for paired values. The levels of sig-

The results obtained in this work are comparable to those obtained in fresh, pure cheeses of cow and goat, using ground samples of cheese (Lucas et al., 2008). It should be emphasised that
the capacity of prediction (RPD) for potassium and sodium in our
work are higher, whereas for calcium and magnesium they are
lower due to the greater heterogeneity of the cheeses analysed
here.
Moreover, in this work the determination of phosphorus in the
cheeses in a range of 2.035.28 g/kg is achieved. Phosphorus, as is
known, is the second mineral in importance in this type of samples
and affects the capacity of absorption of the calcium.
The most determinant aspect is that the methodology developed can be applied to any type of unknown cheese, pure or elaborated with percentages of milk from different origins without
previously treating or destroying the sample, which is to say, by
direct application of the bre-optic probe on a slice of cheese, with
results comparable to ICP-optic spectroscopy.
