The broadest spectrum of inhibition was confirmed for Lactobacillus (Lb.) paracasei subsp. paracasei, and the narrowest for Lb. curvatus.

The importance of biopreservation is optimally manifested in the bacteriostatic and/or bactericidal action of protective cultures and bacteriocins on L. monocytogenes in various foods, including fermented sausages.

In the model thoughts have been given to the Codex Alimentarius process for a risk profile which enables in a first step a practicable instruction for a risk based classification of foods. The classification is based on dependent factors given by the food group of origin, the hazard, the probability of the occurrence of the hazard, steps available to minimize/turn off the risk, consumption pattern of the food, number of health relevant complaints according to meet the legal requirements and the number of rapid alert warnings in a defined time period.

Insgesamt wurden 283 Bestandesmilchproben, 37 Produktionssammelmilchproben und 46 verschiedene Kaesechargen in die Untersuchungen mit einbezogen. Die Gesamtkeimzahl-Mittelwerte der Bestandesmilchproben lagen zwischen 2.8 log10 KBE/ml und 3.8 log10 KBE/ml, die Nachweishaeufigkeit der Enterobacteriaceae und der S.aureus bei 53% bzw. 50%. Die Keimzahlen dieser beiden Parameter erreichten in den Kaesechargen jeweils am 7. Reifungstag ihren Hoechstwert (Maximum 3.6 log10 KBE/g; 4.0 log10 KBE/g) und lagen nach dem 63.

The aim of this study was to acquire a database to establish a microbiological monitoring system for a semi-hard raw milk cheese produced by bio-farms. Bulk tank milk samples of each producer and different cheese batches on various stages of production were analyzed for total viable count (TVC), Enterobacteriaceae, S.aureus, Listeria and STEC. Overall, 283 bulk tank milk samples, 37 cheese-dairy milk samples and 46 cheese batches were examined. Mean log TVC in bulk tank milk ranged from 2.8 to 3.8 cfu/ml. The prevalence of Enterobacteriaceae- and S.aureus-positive samples was 53% and 50%, respectively. For cheese batches, time trend graphs were determined. The highest counts of Enterobacteriaceae and S.aureus were detected on day seven of ripening (3.6 log cfu/ ml; 4.0 log cfu/ml). Most of the isolated and further characterized S.aureus strains harboured sea enterotoxin genes. By day 63 of ripening Enterobacteriaceae and S. aureus colony counts in most batches were below detection limit. In seven bulk tank milk samples and five cheese batches STEC were present. Listeria were not detected in any sample. In consequence, examinations for S.aureus should be performed on day seven, and for Enterobacteriaceae after 60 days of ripening. In view of product safety, a minimal ripening period of 60 days must be required for this semi-hard raw milk cheese. >","PeriodicalId":8255,"journal":{"name":"Archiv Fur Lebensmittelhygiene","volume":"37 1","pages":"13-16"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80332476","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
