Characterization and pre-industrial validation of Streptococcus thermophilus strains to be used as starter cultures for Crescenza, an Italian soft cheese.

Abstract:

:The aim of this work was to search for new candidate strains to be included in a culture for Crescenza, a rindless soft cheese, today produced mainly at industrial level using selected starter cultures composed of S. thermophilus. Performance testing was applied to 29 pre-selected strains and a scoring approach was developed to identify the most suitable candidates to be employed in Crescenza cheesemaking. Eight S. thermophilus strains fulfilling most of the desired properties (e.g., high phage resistance, fast acidification rate, no growth below 20 °C, NaCl sensibility, no post acidification at 4 °C) were selected. These strains were grouped in pairs to design different starter culture formulations, which were preliminary tested for the production of Crescenza cheeses at laboratory scale. Two couples of binary cultures (designed Phage rotation 1 and Phage rotation 2) were finally designed and used as starters in pilot scale cheesemaking. The combinations, especially those designed in Phage rotation 1, appeared to be suitable for Crescenza production and showed mutual similarity in terms of strain characteristics, technological performance, and cheese quality. The selection method and ranking approach presented in this work may be adapted to other species of LAB showing traits of industrial interest.
