Cheese balls which is also known as cheese puffs, Cheese curls, are a puffed
corn snacks food which is coated with a mixture of cheese flavored powders.
Cheese balls is a popular snack which is known in most countries especially
U.S.A , Canada & Nigeria. Cheese balls are manufactured by extruding heated
corn through a die that forms the particular shape of balls, curls etc.
Cheese balls are of different shapes which may be ball-shaped curly

Some cheese balls are puffy, while others are crunchy.

as snacks.
Cheese balls which is a very good sources of protein, vitamin with fat and oil .
it is a snacks for all ages and all times, which can be taken at schools and
picnics.
Maize grit is gotten from corn, which can be grinded in a powdered form to form
maize grit.
Maize grit is a good source of carbohydrate, but contains protein and
vitamin in a trace amount.
2. MILK FAVOUR:
In cheese balls production, milk flavour is very important because it
improves and gives taste to food (Cheese balls).
Milk flavours are usually into diary products to elevate their taste and
mouth feel.
Dairy products and food with milk flavours have always been popular with
customer. Therefore in order to satisfy customer’s requirements for taste. Milk
flavour is added to develop and enhance the taste of any food.
Snacks which contains milk flavour is been taken by children
because of its milky flavoured aroma and it makes customers buy them.
A good milk flavour is a very good source of calcium, protein, vitamins D,
Vitamin A, Vitamin B12, Phosphorus and niancin.
6. ASPARTAME
Aspartame which is also known as nutra sweet is a sweetening agent.
Aspartame which has been in the market since 1981.
Aspartame which originated from U.S.A is a sweetening agents which is
composed primarily of two common amino acids, aspartic acid and
phenylalanine, which is a building block for conventional food such as protein
and natural flavour molecules.
Aspartames which are used n the production of diet soda drinks, foods,
beverages etc. it is very good in the production of food because of its Iower
calorie.
In the production of cheese balls, we use Aspartame because it improve
the taste of cheese balls giving it that sugar taste and making it palatable to eat.
Aspartame is a good source of Vitamin A.
7. SALT:
Salt improves the taste of food. In the production of cheese balls, salt
brings out more flavour and sweetness in them.
CHAPTER FOUR
PROCESSES IN CHEESE BALLS PRODUCTION
Cheese balls is made wit six basic ingredients; namely maize grit, water,
milk flavour, aspartame, food colour and vegetable oil and also other optional
ingredients include salt and citric acid.
These when mixed in a mixer for about 3-5 minutes will give a
homogenous mixture.
Cheese balls production involves various processes and stages which
includes the following:
https://martinslibrary.blogspot.com/2014/07/food-industry-technical-report-of.html 7/20
2/1/23, 3:02 PM FOOD INDUSTRY: A TECHNICAL REPORT OF STUDENTS INDUSTRIAL WORK EXPERIENCE (SIWES) | MARTINS LIBRARY
flavouring, aspartame, salt, vegetable oil, water and citric acid are mixed together
in a mixer for about 3-5mins before production.
The standard mixing procedure and ingredient weight quantity are as
follows:
All these are mixed using electric mixing machine which is known as mixer. The
mixer is made of stainless steel and this prevents rusting which is capable and
able of recontamination of the homogenous mixture.
Extrusion: Extrusion is the process by which the balls are produced. Extruder is
a machine which conveys the maize grit mixture to the hoper of the extruder with
the help of plastic conveyor.
i. Hoper: it is a stainless container or a bucket which is temporary used for
the storage of grit mixture.
Baking: It is a treatment process that involves the heating of the cheese balls in
the oven at a certain regulated temperature. The baking range temperature is
190oc at a speed of 150RMS.
This baking process makes the cheese balls to have a crunchy taste
while eating. At this stage the moisture in the cheese balls is being dried and
ready to consume.
Flavouring: Flavouring is a very necessary and important process in cheese
balls production. The raw materials for flavouring includes cheese flavour, salt,
vegetable oil.
Flavouring is the process that involves mixing the cheese flavour, salt and
vegetable oil together. This makes the cheese balls to look appetizing and
attractive for the consumers
Ingredients Weight

2/1/23, 3:02 PM FOOD INDUSTRY: A TECHNICAL REPORT OF STUDENTS INDUSTRIAL WORK EXPERIENCE (SIWES) | MARTINS LIBRARY
Packaging :
The properly flavoured cheese balls are manually packaged using a nylon
bags. This is to protect the cheese balls against micro-organisms, moisture, air
and other forms of contamination. And it also helps in easy handling and
transportations of the cheese balls.
Ware housing and marketing:
The properly sealed sachets of cheese balls are manually packed in the
storage room/ ware house awaiting sales. Some customers come to the factory
to purchase their cheese balls, but is mostly transported to customers who wants
to buy in bulk, using Lorries, pickup etc. the properly sealed cheese balls are
packed 100 sachets in a nylon bag.
CHAPTER FIVE
METHODS OF CHEESE BALLS STORAGE
Inefficient methods of storage and rough bad handling of cheese balls
can lead to breakage of the cheese balls. A good storage method includes the
following:
(1) To extend the shelf life of the cheese balls
(2) To retain the initial taste and flavour of the cheese balls
(3) To retain the textural quality of the cheese balls
Good method of storing cheese balls includes the following:
(a) Storing the cheese balls in air tight nylon bag.
The storing method helps in preserving the freshness of the cheese balls.
Since cheese balls can be soft if not tighted well, the plastic bags / nylon can
help to avoid air.
(b) Store in a cool place to avoid air spoiling it and making it soft.
(c) Avoid throwing the bags while loading or at any time to avoid breakage
STALING:
It is a common knowledge that when cheese balls are stalled for a very
long time, it becomes soft and crunchyless. This could be due to air.
Stalling reduce she palatability of cheese ball and makes it tasteless while eating
/ consuming.
To maintain the freshness of the cheese balls, it should be kept at a room
temperature of 600c.
CHAPTER SIX
Firstly, finding a place of attachment was not really easy for me but God
by my side, I was able to find a place. I met a lot of challenges which involved
asking me my state, my school and so many things. At a point I was confused
but is had to pick up courage and continue trying my luck, one day as I went to
church at our Lady’s of Victory Catholic Church Umuleri, I bought the trinitas
https://martinslibrary.blogspot.com/2014/07/food-industry-technical-report-of.html 10/20
2/1/23, 3:02 PM FOOD INDUSTRY: A TECHNICAL REPORT OF STUDENTS INDUSTRIAL WORK EXPERIENCE (SIWES) | MARTINS LIBRARY
(Catholic News Paper) reading it I found out that there was a company which
produces cheese balls, biscuits etc I called the number at the back of the paper
but it was not going, I have to pick up courage to go to the company as I have
the address of the company with me, which I got from the news paper. It only
took the grace of God for me to get that Job.
Secondly at the initial stage of my training, I found out that cheese balls
production wasn’t easy, I was managing myself and was still trying to fit in myself
in the work. At last I noticed I could be of a great help for the company because
of their production capacity. We have many customers, so there was no amount
of biscuit, cheese balls, cornflakes, lemon candy produced daily that was enough
for customer. Therefore, to meet up with our customers demand we have to work
morning and night to meet up with our customer.
Finally, cheese balls machine are not found in Nigeria because it’s not
movable, the machines are noiseless and very fast in production.
RECOMMENDATION
Based on my experience during the six months of industrial training the following
are my recommendation
(1) Government at all level should ensure that electricity are taken properly
cared off.
(2) Proper funding of the manufacturing sector of the economy by the
government.
(3) Companies / factories especially cheese balls, corn flakes, biscuits and
sweet companies, should mandate the use of Lab Coat, by staff in their
work place.
(4) Government should make sure that NAFDAC officials are always going to
production companies to maintain good products.
(5) Federal government should make it mandatory for all ministries,
companies, and government agencies to offer attachment places to
students in their relevant field of study, so as to forestall the rate at which
students suffer on the course of finding a place of Industrial attachment.
CONCLUSION:
Zubix Nigeria Limited gave me the privilege of learning about production.
“experience they say is the best teacher” I can’t imagine how my life is going to
be after graduation without this industrial training which has given me a lot of
experience in cheese balls production, sweet production, cornflakes production
and biscuit production. I want to say a big Thank You to Ebonyi Food Science
and Technology lectures for making sure that every students goes for an
industrial training.
I promise myself that one of my daughters is going to read food science
and technology to its greatest highest
