Phadungath, C. Cream cheese products: A review Songklanakarin J. Sci. Technol., 2005, 27(1) : 191-199 Cream cheese is a soft fresh acid-coagulated cheese product, which is acidified by mesophilic lactic acid starter culture, i.e. Lactococcus and Leuconostoc. Cream cheese products are categorized into two main types based on the different fat content in the initial mix and the final composition....

Batches of fromage blanc, a soft white cheese were prepared from whole pasteurized cow’s milk. Processing and formulation methods were used in cheese making to reduce Listeria monocytogenes in artificially contaminated cheese. Treatments implemented included use of additional starter culture in formulation (25% more starter culture than original formulation), use of a higher temperature drainin...

The harmful effects of salt on the skin were first described by Paracelsus (1493-1541, see Schwartz, Tulipan, and Peck, 1947), and there have been accounts since confirming this clinical observation in many industries. Ulcers of the legs occur in salt-miners (Ramazzini, 1700). Salt-water boils are found in shipwrecked sailors and deep-sea fishermen (Critchley, 1943); dock labourers carrying bag...

The aim of this study is the isolation, characterization and identification of autochthonous lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from artisanal Vlasina raw goat's milk cheese for the selection of potential starter cultures. Soft white Vlasina cheese was manufactured at a household on the Stara Planina Mountain using traditional techniques without starter cultures. One hundred and forty nine LAB isolates...

Background: In order to avoid potential harm of synthetic additives food, development of novel functional foods containing natural ingredients is considered in current years. In this study, inhibitory effect of Echinophora platyloba Essential Oil (EO) on growth of Aspergillus flavus was evaluated in culture media and cheese. Methods: E. platyloba EO was extracted by hydrodistillation method ...

Some lactic acid bacteria strains in milk media are capable of releasing bioactive peptides. In this study, we evaluated the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE)inhibitory activity of 180 lactic acid bacteria and selected several Lactobacillus helveticus, L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus and L. casei strains that demonstrated strong ACE-inhibitory activity. The aim was to carry out a molecular s...

This scientific paper determined the microbiological quality of Macedonian white brined cheese. Four best variants cheeses were analysed for their parameters. From pathogenic microflora following parameters examined: a total number Coliforms, E. coli, staphylococci, Molds, Yeast, Listeria and Salmonella. lactic acid bacteria Lactococcus Lactobacillus bacteria. In all examined cheese samples not...
