ABSTRACT:
A process for the manufacture of a probiotic cheese, such as Cheddar cheese, comprises adding a 0.0-5.5% inoculum of a strain ofLactobacillus paracasei, which is non-pathogenic, acid and bile tolerant and adherent to human epithelial cells, as a starter adjunct to cheese milk, saidL. paracaseistrain being capable of growing during the ripening phase to a level of 107cfu/g or greater. TheL. paracaseistrains are found to grow and proliferate to high cell numbers (in excess of 108cfu/g) in the cheese over eight months of ripening, even when added at a relatively low inoculum. The presence of theL. paracaseistrains is found to have negligible effects on cheese composition, flavor and aroma.
