Cottage cheese was produced from reconstituted skimmed milk powder Fer­ mentation of skim milk with approximately 11.16% total solids was performed at 22 °C with 0,5% mesophilic starter culture, "O" type (DVS, Chr Hansen's Lab), without rennet addition. Dry Cottage cheese samples contained an average 21,32% total solids; 17.85%) proteins; 0.75%) ash; and 90.33 mg Ca/lOOg. The Cottage cheese pro...

The Moscovian plant macroflora at Cottage Grove southeastern Illinois, USA, is a key example of Pennsylvanian (323-299 Million years ago) dryland vegetation. There is currently no palynological data from the same stratigraphic horizons as the plant macrofossils, leaves and other vegetative and reproductive structures, at this locality. Consequently, reconstructions of the standing vegetation at...

Mathematical models were developed and evaluated for growth of psychrotolerant pseudomonads in chilled milk and in cottage cheese with cultured cream dressing. The mathematical models include the effect of temperature, pH, NaCl, lactic acid and sorbic acid. A simplified cardinal parameter growth rate model was developed based on growth in broth. Subsequently, the reference growth rate parameter...
