    30 Crusade. It has become Slow Food’s new hot topic: from this point forth, “sentinels of flavour” will be prohibited from using commercial starter cultures. Along with the “natural cheese” designation, strong philosophical aspirations are emerging—ones that stand the test of the industry’s needs and realities. “Natural” cheeses: going the distance? R D By Débora The theme of this year’s Slow Food Cheese Kefir grains Pereira event (slated to take place in Bra, Italy, from September 15 to 18) is Natural is Possible, advocating cheesemaking without the use of commercial starter cultures. “It is a question of biodiversity preservation,” argues Piero Sardo, President of the Slow Food Foundation for Biodiversity. “Nowadays, everyone is using the same starter cultures, thereby erasing the ability to link a cheese to its terroir. Moreover, it is a matter of survival for small farmers. I am surprised,” he points out, “by how difficult it is for the French to Methods address this issue.” He believes that there is There are four no logic to working with raw milk if you are main methods to going to use commercial starter cultures. cultivate starter However, apart from the Brousse du Rove, cultures at home: most French “sentinel” cheeses, such as Salers backslopping Tradition, Laguiole, and the cheeses of the whey from one summer pastures of the Basque Pyrenees, cheese to make resort to exogenous starter cultures, at least to Marie-Christine Montel, a retired microbiologist another (such as kick off the season. of INRA’s Aurillac cheese facility, remembers how the Salers AOP (protected designation of with farmstead • Backslopping origin) greatly benefited from the introduction of lactic chevres) commercial starter cultures since, at the time, it backslopping provided solutions to manufacturing problems The main challenge for those who engage in on fermented such as post-acidification.

  • Montbeliarde : Bred for the French Cheese Industry
    Montbeliarde : Bred for the French cheese Industry The main use of milk in France is cheese making and France is recognized widely and internationally for its high quality and diversity of cheeses. It looks like a detail but the cheese industry allowed a lot of mountain areas to sustain economically thanks to their pastures and cows herds. Areas like Alps, Jura, Pyrenees, Massif Central and Vosges are renowned for their specific cheeses that keep local activities in hard access regions. More recently, changes that are affecting the dairy industry lead to more added value products such as cheese, which gives new opportunities for that industry. To achieve better economic efficiency, dairy farmers of the Montbeliarde area (Central east of France) organized themselves for decades around local cooperatives running small cheese plants called “Fruitières”. There, dairy farmers sell cheese instead of milk and developed strategies to get a better product, increasing cheese yield (on the cow side) and increasing the quality and flavour of cheese (process side). All this led to a maximum of added value and made “Comte” cheese the N°1 high quality cheese in all France for years (45.000 tons/year). The genetic side is important and several scientific studies demonstrated it. The cheese process depends a lot on both bacteriological and organoleptical milk quality. A- Factors influencing Cheese Yield 1-Protein content Cheese Yield is proportional to milk % of protein up to 3,8%. Above that figure, cheese yield doesn’t increase significatively. 2-Casein type. Casein is the principal protein in milk. During the cheese making process, casein solidifies, curdles or coagulates into cheese through the action of rennet.

In the production of full-fat raw milk cheese, the cow’s breed can modify the texture of cheeses because of differences in fat in dry matter content due to variations in the fat/protein ratio in milk. Within the same breed, large differences in texture and taste were observed between cheeses β α issued from milk differing by the genetic variant of -casein (in dairy cows) or s1- casein (in goats). Except in very early or late lactation, the physiological stage had no significant effect on cheese sen- sory characteristics. In contrast, mastitis has a well-known negative impact on cheese sensory pro- perties. Feeding dairy cows or goats with corn silage by comparison with hay or grass silage leads to whiter cheeses and sometimes to differences in flavour. Conserving grass as silage, by compari- son with hay, has no important effect on cheese sensory characteristics, except on colour, which is yellower with grass silage.

  • Non-Thermal Processing of Skim Milk: Impact on Microbial Reduction
    Non-thermal processing of skim milk: Impact on microbial reduction, physico-chemical properties and quality of Brie type cheese by Dipendra Khanal A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Food Science Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Dipendra Khanal, May, 2014 ABSTRACT NON-THERMAL PROCESSING OF SKIM MILK: IMPACT ON MICROBIAL REDUCTION, PHYSICO-CHEMICAL PROPERTIES AND QUALITY OF BRIE TYPE CHEESE Dipendra Khanal Advisor: University of Guelph, 2014 Dr. Mansel W. Griffiths Pulsed Electric Fields (PEF) and Microfiltration (MF) are emerging non-thermal technologies that are gaining in popularity, since they preserve food by inactivation of microorganisms and fulfill the demand for minimally processed and fresh-like foods with natural taste and extended shelf life. The present research investigated the effect of either stand-alone or a combination of PEF and MF treatments on microbial reduction, physicochemical properties in skim milk and its comparison with HTST treatments, and also explored the quality of Brie type cheese preparation and its comparison with raw milk cheese. Reduction in microbial load by non-thermal technologies were comparable or even better than HTST treatments, and effects on physico-chemical properties were varied depending on the use of different pore sized MFs. Significant effects of non-thermal technologies were not observed on cheese quality and microbial analysis of ripened cheese did not detect the presence of pathogenic bacteria. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to thank my supervisor Dr. Mansel W. Griffiths for his support, encouragement and enthusiasm during my graduate work. Dr. Griffiths has provided an opportunity to explore new world of science and technology by accepting me as a graduate student and welcomed by showing faith and provided the environment to update my knowledge in food science field, not only as a graduate student, but also as a researcher and problem shooter.
