Mascarpone: FODMAP, histamine, lactose and gluten

Here is what the scientific sources say about Mascarpone for people managing sensitivities to FODMAP, histamine, gluten and lactose.

FODMAP

The FODMAP content of Mascarpone is classified as low.

Sources: USDA FoodData Central, Branded Foods — Galbani Mascarpone Cheese: carboidrati ≈3,3 g/100 g (verosimilmente lattosio residuo, formaggio fresco non stagionato) (https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/); cf. Deng Y, Misselwitz B, Dai N, Fox M. Lactose Intolerance in Adults: Biological Mechanism and Dietary Management. Nutrients. 2015;7(9):8020-8035 — dosi singole di lattosio inferiori a ~12 g sono generalmente ben tollerate anche da soggetti lattasi-non-persistenti.

Histamine

The histamine/biogenic amine content of Mascarpone is considered low (0-3 intensity scale).

Sources: Comas-Basté O, Sánchez-Pérez S, Veciana-Nogués MT, Latorre-Moratalla M, Vidal-Carou MC. Histamine Intolerance: The Current State of the Art. Biomolecules. 2020;10(8):1181. doi:10.3390/biom10081181 — alimenti freschi non fermentati/non stagionati generalmente <1 mg/kg di istamina, contro >2000 mg/kg in alcuni formaggi molto stagionati; Moniente M, et al. Histamine accumulation in dairy products. Compr Rev Food Sci Food Saf. 2021;20(2):1481-1523 — i gravi episodi di accumulo di istamina nei formaggi riguardano soprattutto quelli stagionati.

Lactose and gluten

Lactose is naturally present in Mascarpone. Gluten is not naturally present in Mascarpone.

Notes

categoria: Proteine | Formaggio fresco non stagionato: contenuto di lattosio residuo più alto rispetto ai formaggi stagionati, ma livello di istamina atteso basso in quanto non subisce stagionatura/fermentazione prolungata.
