Standardised cow's milk (fat 3 g/100 g) was used to manufacture Feta cheese fortified with 40, 60 and 80 mg of iron/kg cheese using ferrous sulphate (Fe SO 4 ), ferric chloride (FeCl 3 ), ferric pyrophosphate (Fe 4 (P 2 O 7 ) 3 ) and microencapsulated ferrous sulphate. Chemical composition and sensory characteristics of fortified cheeses were determined after 60 days of ripening, during which the iron content and thiobarbituric acid ( TBA ) values were measured. The metallic taste, colour, flavour, overall score and TBA values were statistically (P < 0.05) affected by the source and concentration of iron. The best quality was found in cheeses fortified with 40 mg/kg of microencapsulated ferrous sulphate.
