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....

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...

Traditional dry fermented sausages are manufactured without addition of starter cultures in small-scale processing units, their fermentation relying on indigenous microflora. Characterisation and control of these specific bacteria are essential for the sensory quality and the safety of the sausages. The aim of this study was to develop an autochthonous starter culture that improves safety while...

Fermentation is an environmentally friendly method to improve feed quality. Fermented liquid feed and airtight stored moist crimped cereal grain systems that are of increasing importance in agricultural practice were studied. Both rely on spontaneous microbial developments with poorly understood population dynamics, resulting in unpredictable final quality. Temperature, fermentation time and in...

The aim of the study was to evaluate the biogenic amine (BA) content of Ciauscolo salami made with and without the use of a selected started culture. Two batches of salami were made following the guidelines of the Protected Geographical Indications: with and without adding a commercial starter culture made of Lactobacillus plantarum and Staphylococcus xylosus. Six samples of salami per batch we...

it is known that native oil-degrading microorganisms are ubiquitous. they can be isolated from contaminated soils. in this study, biodegradation experiments were carried out to evaluate the efficiency of pollutant removal by adding the selected microorganisms. five mixed cultures and 3 single bacteria strains, pseudomonas sp., arthrobacter sp. and mycobacterium sp. were isolated from hydrocarbo...

Probiotic bacteria are sold mainly in fermented foods, and dairy products play a predominant role as carriers of probiotics. These foods are well suited to promoting the positive health image of probiotics for several reasons: 1) fermented foods, and dairy products in particular, already have a positive health image; 2) consumers are familiar with the fact that fermented foods contain living mi...

Cassava roots are used as human food in many processed forms and products. Fermentation is the initial step needed in the development of various flavour precursors in the cassava and generally conducted as traditional, indigenous processes leading sometimes to the undesirable quality of final products depending probably on the variety (bitter or sweet) of cassava. Both sweet and bitter varietie...
