A differential plating medium was developed to detect decarboxylating lactobacilli in cheese. With this medium, 15 cheeses made from raw milk were investigated for the presence of these bacteria. Five histidine-decarboxylating strains and one tyrosine-decarboxylating strain were isolated. The isolates were identified with the API 50L system. Accordingly, each of the five histidine-decarboxylating strains was identified as Lactobacillus buchneri, whereas the tyrosine-decarboxylating strain is a representative of Lactobacillus brevis. Cheesemaking experiments using a low inoculum concentration of the histidinedecarboxylating L. buchneri strain St2A (0.2 CFU/ml of milk) showed that, under conditions of accelerated proteolysis, histamine may accumulate rapidly; after 3 months of ripening, 410 mg/kg was found. An inoculum concentration of 5 CFU/ml gave rise to the formation of 1,060 mg/kg.

We compared the effects of two waste-based culture media (M1 and M2) on the technological properties of (L90) for its application as a secondary culture in Cremoso cheese. The following parameters were studied at different ripening times: pH (7, 20, and 40 d), microbiological counts, carbohydrates and organic acids (7 and 40 d), moisture, fat, protein and volatile compounds (40 d). The viability and the metabolic performance of the strain in cheeses were also verified along ripening.

Films and coatings based on biopolymers have been extensively studied in recent years since they have less impact on the environment, can be obtained from renewable sources, have good coating and film-forming capacity, are biodegradable and can have interesting nutritional properties. In the present study, sheep's cheese whey powder (SCWP) was used to produce edible cheese coatings. Six types of cheese samples were produced: without coating (CON); treated with natamycin (NAT); with SCWP coating without antimicrobials (WCO); with SCWP coating with a commercial bioprotective culture (WFQ); with SCWP coating with kombucha tea (WKO); and with SCWP coating with oregano essential oil (WEO).

The microbiological and biochemical properties of a goat cheese produced using (sunflower) seed extract as a coagulant and the potentially probiotic autochthonous culture CNPC007 were examined in comparison to a control cheese devoid of the autochthonous culture. Throughout a 60-day storage period at 6 ± 1 °C, lactobacilli maintained a count of above 8 log CFU/g. Additionally, its viability in cheeses subjected to the in vitro gastrointestinal conditions demonstrated improvement over this period.
