A study was made of the impact of nonuniform moisture distribution in 290 kg blocks of cheese on the accuracy of sampling the cheese for moisture content. The range of moisture from center to outside surfaces of the blocks was about 5%. The temperature gradient, developed in the first 24-48 h after cheese making, drove the moisture migration from warm to cold areas in the cheese blocks during i...

Lack of valid economic data for artisan cheese making is a serious impediment to developing a realistic business plan and obtaining financing. The objective of this study was to determine approximate start-up and operating costs for an artisan cheese company. In addition, values are provided for the required size of processing and aging facilities associated with specific production volumes. Fo...

Objective of this study was to investigate the effect of short term frozen storage of milk and curd on textural properties and physico-chemical composition of white brined goat cheese. Raw milk and curds (at various stages of pressing) were frozen and kept for seven days at -27 °C. Following the freezing, all the experimental cheeses were manufactured by the standard procedure, the same that wa...

After the fermentation of bovine milk by lactic acid bacteria, rennet was added, and then the curd was formed by incubating at 30°C for 12 hours in the presence of soy protein isolate (SI) or 7S globulin (7S). Cheese was produced from the cooked curd. The texture of the curd and the cheese was studied by break down and cutting tests, respectively. In the break down test of the curd, the order o...

increasing incidence of food-borne disease along with its social and economic consequences have led to conducting extensive research in order to produce safer food and develop new antimicrobial agents; among them, extensive use of probiotics and bacteriocins as biological additives is of significant importance. the aim of the present study was to evaluate the interactions (growth behavior and s...

In this study, we present the first complete genome sequence of Lactobacillus rennini ACA-DC 565, a strain isolated from a traditional Greek overripened Kopanisti cheese called Mana. Although the species has been associated with cheese spoilage, the strain ACA-DC 565 may contribute to the intense organoleptic characteristics of Mana cheese.

Recent outbreaks of human tuberculosis in the United States caused by Mycobacterium bovis have implicated cheese originating in Mexico as a source of these infections. A total of 203 samples of cheese originating in Mexico were cultured, and M. bovis was recovered from one specimen. Therefore, M. bovis can be recovered from cheese and may be a source of human infections.

biogenic amines (ba) are nitrogenous compounds that possess biological activity. the source of production is the microbial decarboxylation of amino acids. this compounds are found in various types of cheese. the aim of this work was to evaluate the ba content of some traditional cheeses in west azerbaijan province iran. for this purpose, 70 samples of koopeh, 10 samples of lighvan and 5 samples...

processed or melted cheeses are producing in variation kinds because of variety in material blends.using ultrafiltered feta cheese and milk protein co-precipitate in this processed cheese is possible. also, creamy texture of this product is a good and cheaper competitor and substitute for ultra filtered feta cheese that because of creamy texture, more increased its prod. and consumption. also b...

24 In 2005, the Belgian authorities reported a Listeria monocytogenes contamination episode in 25 cheese made from raw goat’s milk. The presence of an asymptomatic shedder goat in the herd 26 caused this contamination. On the basis of data collected at the time of the episode, a 27 retrospective study was performed using an exposure assessment model covering the 28 production chain from the mil...
