Diversity, Dynamics and Functional Role of Actinomycetes on European Smear Ripened Cheeses

Cheese is a familiar everyday item in our homes. Yet, cheeses represent complex dynamic ecosystems whose exact balance of microflora is determined by a range of physico-chemical characteristics, processing conditions and microbial interactions which then dictate the sensory characteristics of the...

This book focuses on the current status of understanding of one group of cheeses, the smear-ripened cheeses. The application of culturedependent and -independent approaches in detecting and monitoring dynamics of actinomycetes, an essential component of smear microflora, is covered as a case study.

Both the underlying theory and protocols for these approaches are included as well as case studies to demonstrate how these have been applied to smear cheeses. There are also forward-looking chapters on systems biology and solid-state fermentation which consider how the complex information that is now being generated may be integrated to be predictive and improve our understanding of both cheese microbiology and production systems.

description Cheese is a familiar everyday item in our homes. Yet, cheeses represent complex dynamic ecosystems whose exact balance of microflora is determined by a range of physico-chemical characteristics, processing conditions and microbial interactions which then dictate the sensory characteristics of the product.
