Next time you're going to town on a stringy diner grilled cheese sandwich, take a good deep look into the cheesy golden-yellow abyss. What is that stuff anyway? USDA research chemist Michael Tunick takes look at what goes into making processed cheese like Velveeta and Kraft Singles. • Tech Insider tells you all you need to know about tech: gadgets, how-to's, gaming, science, digital culture, and more. • Subscribe to our channel and visit us at: http://www.businessinsider.com/sai • TI on Facebook: / techinsider • TI on Instagram: / tech_insider • TI on Twitter: / techinsider • -------------------------------------------------- • Following is the transcript of the video: • A mixture of older cheeses. They grind them up and they add an emulsifier so that it holds together and it’s processed in a way so that it melts easily. • So, my name is Michael Tunick. I'm a research chemist with the U.S. Department of Agriculture and I wrote the book, The Science of Cheese . • Now, there are pasteurized processed cheeses out there and that's just a mixture of older cheeses and fresher cheeses. • They grind them up and they add an emulsifier so that it holds together and it’s processed in a way so that it melts easily. • Trade name for that would be Velveeta for instance. That name comes from the word velvet , meaning the texture. It was invented right before World War I by J.L. Kraft, who was trying to get rid of some of his older cheeses so he mixed it with some of his newer cheeses and came up with Kraft American Cheese. • Ever since then, cheese companies have been doing that kind of thing. • It is legal, Food and Drug Administration has some rules regarding what it can be labeled as, such as pasteurized processed cheese spread and pasteurized processed cheese food. • They have to follow certain moisture and fat limitations and sometimes they have to be able to melt at a certain temperature or things like that. • If it falls outside of those regulations, then the manufacturers call it some other things, but it is something that is found a lot in processed food. Philly cheesesteaks usually have cheese whiz melted on them. That is a pasteurized, process cheese. It’s something I would eat too, except it's not going to be nearly as good as a regular natural cheese.
