    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for producing a fermented milk soft cheese product comprising the steps of a) Providing a first milk base, b) Optionally subjecting the first milk base to a concentration step to obtain a concentrated first milk base, c) Adding a first starter culture comprising at least one EPS producing lactic acid bacterium strain, d) Fermenting the concentrated first milk base for a period of time until a target pH is reached to obtain an EPS-containing fermented milk composition, e) Mixing the EPS-containing fermented milk composition with one or more other ingredients, if any, selected from the group consisting of a milk fat composition, a second fermented milk composition and one or more additives, to obtain a fermented milk mixture, and f) Subjecting the fermented milk mixture to heat treatment to obtain a fermented milk soft cheese product.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a bacterium of the species Lactobacillus fermentum having the ability to inhibit the growth of the fungus Penicillium solitum deposited under the accession No.: DSM32093 or the growth of the fungus Penicillium brevicompactum deposited under the accession No.: DSM32094 by at least 50%. The inhibitory activity can be determined in an assay comprising: (1) preparing a fermented milk product by: (a) inoculating a milk with the Lactobacillus fermentum in a concentration of at least 107 CFU/g and with a starter culture, (b) fermenting until a p H of 4.6 is reached, and (c) solidifying the fermented milk by the addition of agar; (2) generating at least one spot of the P. solitum or the P. brevicompactum on the agar solidified fermented milk with a concentration of 500 spores/spot and incubating the 1 same for 7 days at 25° C.; (3) determining the percent inhibition by determining the largest diameter of the colony formed by growth of the P. solitum or P. brevicompactum and expressing the diameter as percent of the largest diameter formed under the same conditions but in the absence of the Lactobacillus fermentum strain. The invention further relates to compositions comprising the bacterium, methods for producing fermented milk products using the bacterium and the products thus obtained.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of dairy technology, in particular it relates to a method for assessing rheological properties of acidified milk gels (milk gels), including determination of shear stress, gel firmness and water-holding capacity. The method can be used to determine rheological properties of acidified milk, e.g. yoghurt and fresh cheese, in a fast and reliable way. The present invention also relates to a method of screening for microbial cultures resulting in fermented milk with desired rheological properties. By using an automated microtiter-plate pipetting station equipped with a pressure sensor inside the air displacement barrel of each pipette, it is possible to monitor real-time changes in pressure, when aspirating and dispensing milk gels, and then correlate the pressure versus time data obtained with milk gel rheological properties such as shear stress, gel firmness and water-holding capacity.
