Abstract
This study investigated the inhibition of Clostridium species, isolated from cheeses with late-blowing defects, by lactic acid bacteria (LAB). Four batches of Turkish white cheeses were produced; control cheese, cheese sample containing Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis (PY91K) and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (Y48) as protective cultures (LAB), a cheese sample containing the protective culture and inoculated with Clostridium sporogenes spores (CL-LAB) and finally a cheese sample containing only Cl. sporogenes spores (CL). White cheese's microbiological and physicochemical properties were also determined throughout the 90-day storage period at 4 °C. Approximately 1 log reduction in Cl. sporogenes (ZMP-1-4) spores was observed in the LAB co-inoculated Turkish white cheese samples.
