Proceed<strong>in</strong>g of the 4 rd International Symposium“NEW RESEARCH IN BIOTECHNOLOGY” USAMV Bucharest, Romania, 2011premises. An <strong>in</strong>tegral part of milk microflora is non-starter lactic acid bacteria.Pasteurization regime selected <strong>in</strong> cheese manufactur<strong>in</strong>g is able to <strong>de</strong>stroy essentialmicroflora, enzymes and pathogens <strong>in</strong> milk. It should be noted that <strong>in</strong>activationlevel of microorganisms <strong>de</strong>pends on the count of microorganisms, growth phaseand other factors. Bactofugation, microfiltration, and application of food additives,cannot significantly <strong>de</strong>crease the proportion of Lactobacillus spp. and Leuconostocspp. <strong>in</strong> milk. Defects caused by non-starter lactic acid bacteria are found <strong>in</strong> all dairyproducts, but the most problematic they are <strong>in</strong> cheeses.Early blow<strong>in</strong>g caused by non-starter lactic acid bacteria is often mixed upwith coliform bacteria. Non-starter lactic acid bacteria, mostly heterofermentative,produce diacetyl and aceto<strong>in</strong>, and high amounts of carbon dioxi<strong>de</strong>. Carbon dioxi<strong>de</strong>forms many small holes <strong>in</strong> cheese, and sometimes a significant gas pressure results<strong>in</strong> a sponge-like cheese texture. I<strong>de</strong>ntical <strong>de</strong>fect is caused by coliform bacteria.This <strong>de</strong>fect occurs dur<strong>in</strong>g the beg<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g of cheese ripen<strong>in</strong>g while there is lactose <strong>in</strong>it. Technological methods to fight coliform bacteria differ as well. If milk isproduced accord<strong>in</strong>g to hygienic requirements, food additives are not necessary for<strong>de</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>g of activity of coliform bacteria. Over consumption of sodiumnitrate/sodium nitrite is not beneficial for consumers. Cheesemakers are confusedabout the <strong>de</strong>fect, its orig<strong>in</strong> and possible solution. Enzymes produced byLactobacillus spp. are able to hydrolyze case<strong>in</strong> form<strong>in</strong>g bitter pepti<strong>de</strong>s, which<strong>in</strong>fluence flavour characteristics of cheese.The non-starter lactic acid bacteria could not be evaluatedunambiguously. Individual stra<strong>in</strong>s of species are used for acceleration ofcheese ripen<strong>in</strong>g, stimulation of hydrolysis of prote<strong>in</strong>s and enhancement ofconcentration of free am<strong>in</strong>o acids contribut<strong>in</strong>g to flavour and aroma of awell ripened cheese. It should be noted that the role of non-starter lactic acidbacteria <strong>in</strong> <strong>de</strong>term<strong>in</strong>ation of the cheese quality is still unclear. The aim ofthe study was to evaluate impact of the selected ripen<strong>in</strong>g temperature on thegrowth rate of NSLAB <strong>in</strong> Latvian semi-hard Holan<strong>de</strong>s and Krievijascheeses.2.MATERIALS AND METHODSThe samples (n=18) of unripened semi-hard Krievijas and Holan<strong>de</strong>scheeses have been chosen for analysis. Cheeses were produced at two cheesefactories <strong>in</strong> Latvia and ripened at laboratories of Latvia University of Agriculture.Cheeses are manufactured accord<strong>in</strong>g to the technical requirements of the enterpriseor the Branch Standards: LPCS 10: 2001 and LPCS 11: 2001.
