Fynbo
Encyclopedia
Fynbo is a semi-hard Danish
cheese which smells like fish. Is named after the island of Fyn
. It has a flavor of buckwheat and is processed with a combination of mesophilic
and thermophilic
bacterial cultures. Experiments with secondary proteolysis
of Fynbo have helped to identify an important peptide
produced during cheese ripening, αs1-casein (f1-23).

Peptides are short polymers of amino acid monomers linked by peptide bonds. They are distinguished from proteins on the basis of size, typically containing less than 50 monomer units. The shortest peptides are dipeptides, consisting of two amino acids joined by a single peptide bond...
