Abstract

The effects of salt and moi sture content, ripening temperature and starter strain, independently, on the growth of indigenous non-starter lactic acid bacteria (NSLAB) in Cheddar cheeses were studied.Salt-in-moisture (SIM) :,; 5.9% had no effect on the growth of NSLAB; 6.1 % SIM reduced their growth rate but had no effect on their number at 6 months.Cheeses with a moi sture content > 40.3% had higher numbers of NSLAB than cheeses with a lower moisture content during the initial stages of ripening; the difference appeared to be related to the length of the lag phase rather than to the rate of growth of these bacteria.Numbers of NSLAB were quite low in cheeses ripened at 4 "C even after 6 months and increased with ripening temperature at ail stages of ripening.NSLAB grew faster initially in cheeses made with Lactococcus lactis ssp lactis ML3 or 303 as starter than in those made with Le lactis ssp cremoris AM 1 or AM2 but reached similar numbers after 6 months.non-starter lactic acid bacteria 1 Cheddar cheese 1 Cheddar cheese composition Résumé -Effet des facteurs composition et environnement sur la croissance des bactéries lactiques indigènes non levains dans le fromage cheddar.Les effets respectifs de la teneur en sel et en eau, de la température d'affinage et des souches de levains lactiques sur la croissance des bactéries lactiques indigènes non levains (NSLAB) ont été étudiés dans du fromage de cheddar.Le rapport sel/humidité (StH), inférieur ou égal à 5,9 %, n'a pas d'effet sur la croissance des NSLAB, une teneur à 6,1 % de StH réduit leur taux de croissance mais n'a pas d'effet sur leur nombre à 6 mois d'affinage.Les fromages ayant un taux d'humidité supérieur à 40,3 % ont un plus grand nombre de NSLAB que les fromages ayant un taux d'humidité plus faible durant la phase initiale d'affinage.La différence semble être liée à la durée de la phase de latence, plutôt qu'au taux de croissance de ces bactéries.Les nombres de NSLAB sont plutôt bas dans des fromages affinés à 4 "C, même après 6 mois d'affinage, et croissent en même temps que la température à tous les stades de l'affinage.Le taux de NSLAB augmente initialement plus vite dans des fromages faits avec des Lactococcus lactis spp lactis ML3 ou 303 utilisés en tant que levains comparés à ceux fabriqués avec des Lactococcus lactis spp cremoris AMI ou AM2, mais atteignent le même taux après 6 mois d'affinage.bactérie lactique non levain 1 fromage 1 cheddar

  • In long-ripened cheeses, the autolysis of SLAB can provide sufficient nutrients to support the growth of non-starter LAB (NSLAB) in vitro.

    “In long-ripened cheeses, it has also been observed that the autolysis of SLAB can provide sufficient nutrients to support the growth of non-starter LAB (NSLAB) in vitro [18,53,73,77,93,99,100,101,102].”

    From Microbiota of Cheese Ecosystems: A Perspective on Cheesemaking (2025) · cites this paper as [102]

    The Discussion (page unavailable) says starter-cell lysis may provide growth substrates for NSLAB, directly or through released enzymes. It does not establish that those nutrients are sufficient to support growth in vitro; it says further research on starter lysis is warranted. (LLM, conf=0.85)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
