Abstract

Unpasteurized artisanal cheeses are a source of pathogens for humans. We isolated lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from raw milk and from cheeses made with raw milk, and formulate starter cultures for producing an artisanal Mexican cheese known as ‘Queso Bola de Ocosingo’. We evaluated six combinations of strains as starter culture-treatments. The proximate composition of the cheeses, the sensorial evaluation, and the microbiological safety of cheeses made with pasteurized milk was evaluated. The use of starter culture helped to maintain the pathogen microbial total count of pasteurized cheese below the standard limit maximums. The sensory judges did not find differences among the cheese elaborated with unpasteurized milk and that elaborated with pasteurized milk and the starter culture added. The starter culture formulated with LAB derived from unpasteurized cheese can be used for producing ‘Bola de Ocosingo’ cheese which is sensory acceptable and microbiological safe.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The use of starter cultures ensures microbiologically safe products because these cultures inhibit undesirable microorganisms by producing organic acids, bacteriocins, and hydrogen peroxide.

    “In addition, the use of starter cultures ensures microbiologically safe products, because these cultures inhibit the development of undesirable microorganisms by producing compounds that prevent their growth, such as organic acids, bacteriocins, and hydrogen peroxide [104,105,106].”

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.
