Assertion: In ripening of cheese, insoluble proteins are cleaved to form soluble peptides.
Reason: Hard cheese and soft cheese, both are ripened by lactic acid bacteria.

Answer

  1. Assertion is true but reason is false.

Solution:

The ripening of cheese is a complex process. In the young cheese, all nitrogen is present in the form of insoluble proteins, but as ripening proceeds, the protein is progressively cleaved to soluble peptides. Hard cheeses are ripened largely by lactic acid bacteria, which grow throughout the cheese, die, autolyze and release hydrolytic enzymes. Soft cheeses are ripened by the enzymes from yeasts and other fungi that grow on the surface.
