Keenan McRoberts Problem Articulation: Communities in the Gavilanes River micro-watershed of Veracruz, Mexico’s highlands face numerous challenges to make traditionally subsistence agricultural livelihoods more competitive in a dynamic market environment. Specialized goat cheese production in Veracruz’ rural highland communities could provide an opportunity to increase household profits. Commun...

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.

The lactic acid bacterium Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides can be found in mesophilic cheese starters, where it produces aromatic compounds from, e.g., citrate. Here, we present the draft genome sequences of two L. pseudomesenteroides strains isolated from traditional Danish cheese starters.

Biochemical and technological properties of Penicillium roqueforti and Geotrichum 1 candidum strains from Cabrales, a Spanish traditional, blue-veined, starter-free cheese 2 3 RUNNING TITLE: Properties of fungi species from Cabrales cheese 4

Background and Objectives: This study is the first research on the physiochemical characteristics, microbial population and microstructure of Poosti cheese over 90-days of ripening. The main difference between Poosti cheese and other types of traditional cheese is the skin, which is used for its storage. Materials and Methods: Physicochemical characteristics including moisture, salt, pH, acidi...

kurdish cheese is semi-firm cheese which has been traditionally manufactured from whole raw cow or sheep milk, in the east of iran. it is ripened in goat’s skin bags. the microbial diversity of kordish cheese originates from natural microbiota present in the raw milk and its unique organoleptic properties have made it excellent among other traditional cheeses in iran. this study has been conduc...
