PREDICTING THE GRADE OF CHEDDAR CHEESE

The calculator below is based on a model developed by Lawrence et. al.(1984) to predict the grade value of Cheddar cheese. Instructions on how to use the calculator are given below. Note that the cheese sample pH and other values should be obtained from 24-hour old cheese. Before using this calculator you must accept that the values obtained are for educational purposes only and are not warranted in any way! You should also understand the limitations of the model before using the results. Similar calculators can easily be developed for other varieties.

Calculator for predicting grade value of Cheddar cheese
Cheese Quality Based on Range of Variable Values				PREDICTED GRADE OF CHEDDAR CHEESE
Variable	Premium Grade	Graded		PREMIUM	GRADED	NOT GRADED
S/M				FALSE	FALSE	TRUE

MNFS
				To determine the predicted grade value, insert
PH				the S/M, pH, FDM and MFSS into the input
				table below on the left. The predicted grade value
FDM				will be given as True in the table above. You can
				investigate the effect of changing the values for the
				model variables in the table in the top left.
Input Your S/M, MNFS, pH and FDM data below
