SHOWING EFFECT OF MOISTURE IN CHEESE ON CHEESE- 

 RIPENING 



paraffined cheese contained considerably more water, 

 the difference increasing with age, until at the end

 of cheese.

 formation of larger amounts of water-soluble nitrogen 

 compounds in cheese containing more moisture, other 

 conditions being uniform.
