Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for producing a fermented milk product (e.g. a pasta filata cheese) with a relatively stable pH value at the end of the fermentation comprising use of lactase in a first step (a) and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in a further step, characterized by that the LAB are lactose-deficient (Lac(−)) and capable of metabolizing glucose (Glu(+)). The invention further relates to a Streptococcus thermophilus cell CHCC26980 deposited with registration number DSM32600 and a method to obtain a mutant of this strain.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a novel Streptococcus thermophilus strain having improved texturizing properties, compositions comprising said strain as well as fermented products manufactured using said strain.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a method of producing a Streptococcus thermophilus strain comprising the steps of
a) Providing a mother strain in the form of Streptococcus thermophilus DSM32502, b) Growing a culture of the mother strain in the presence of a bacteriophage, to which the mother strain is not resistant, to obtain a number of mutant strains, which are resistant to the said bacteriophage, c) Measuring the acidification time of the bacteriophage-resistant mutant strains and the mother strain in a milk base and selecting at least one mutant strain with a reduced acidification time as compared to the mother strain to obtain a fast-acidifying mutant strain.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method of increasing nisin production in nisin-producing Lactococcus lactis by inactivating the phage infection protein Pip. The invention also provides nisin-producing Lactococcus lactis in which the phage infection protein is inactivated. The nisin-producing Lactococcus lactis can be used in starter culture for manufacturing food products or other industrial applications.

Abstract:
The present invention provides methods of producing a fermented milk product comprising a step wherein milk is fermented, wherein: (a) the fermentation is initiated by a starter culture, which starter culture comprises lactic acid bacteria capable of metabolizing one or several carbohydrates present in the milk, (b) the fermentation is terminated by a decrease of the concentration of the one or several carbohydrates during fermentation, and (c) the decrease is at least also caused by the metabolic activity of the lactic acid bacteria. The invention further provides respective methods comprising a step, wherein at least part of the whey is separated from the fermented milk product.
