The influence of different extracts on the acid production of two strains of Streptococcus cremoris and two of Betacoccus cremoris isolated from Kingston cheese has been studied.The enriching entity has no effect on acid production by Streptococci in sugar broth. Enrichment with yeast or alfalfa extract causes not only a marked increase in the acid production by Betacocci, but also a definite stimulating effect on the rate of acid production.Enriching milk with yeast or alfalfa extract has a marked stimulating effect on the vital activity of the Betacocci and of Streptococcus EMB1173, but is without influence on Streptococcus EMB1195. The response of culture EMB1173 is immediate and direct, but in the case of cultures EMB2168 and EMB2173 the action of the enriching entity is cumulative in its effect. Alfalfa extract would appear to provide, in the case of Betacoccus EMB2173, a stimulating influence not to be found in yeast extract.The influence of other forage crop enrichments on rate of acid production has also been studied. The factor or factors present in alfalfa and shown to exert a stimulating influence on the vital activity of the organisms are to be found to some extent in all forage crops investigated.

The influence of the Bios of Wildiers on the vital activity of two strains of Betacoccus cremoris has been studied. Alfalfa, yeast and tomatoes have been fractionated after the manner of Miller, and the effect of the respective Bios fractions on acid production determined. It has been shown that the Betacocci demand, for their most intensive metabolism, activators corresponding to those required by yeasts—Bios I, II A and II B.

The influence of the configurational relations of the hexoses on the ability of a Streptococcus cremoris strain to produce acid from lactose in milk and in broth has been studied.With casein digest broth as the nitrogen source, the organism was carried by serial transfers in 10 different carbon sources; at every transfer the cultures were inoculated from the sugar broths into milk, and the clotting times of the respective milk tubes determined.The carrying of the culture in sucrose, maltose, dextrin or starch has no influence on the acid-producing ability of the organism.Glucose, mannose, fructose, and salicin exhibit a marked inhibiting effect on the rate and amount of acid production in milk and in lactose broth.Although galactose and lactose fail to inhibit completely the activity of the organism, a restraining influence on acid production is to be observed. It is suggested that the inhibitory activity of glucose or one of its metabolic products may be a cause of the sudden or gradual loss of vitality in starters.

Hardening of cheese is one of major issues that degrade the quality of Home Meal Replacement (HMR) foods containing cheese such as Cheese-ddukbokki rice cake (CD, stir-fried rice cakes with shredded cheese). The quality of cheese, such as pH, proteolytic, and flavor properties, depends on various lactic acid bacteria (LAB) used in cheese fermentation. The hardening of cheese is also caused by LAB. In this study, various LAB strains were isolated from CD samples that showed rapid hardening. The correlation of LAB with the hardening of cheese was investigated. Seven of the CD samples with different manufacturing dates were collected and tested for hardening properties of cheese. Among them, strong-hardening of cheese was confirmed for two samples and weak-hardening was confirmed for one sample. All LAB in two strong-hardening samples and 40% of LAB in one weak-hardening sample were identified as Latilactobacillus curvatus. On the other hand, most LAB in normal cheese samples were identified as Leuconostoc mesenteroides and Lactobacillus casei. We prepared cheese samples in which L. curvatus (LC-CD) and L. mesenteroides (LM-CD) were most dominant, respectively. Each CD made of the prepared cheese was subjected to quality test for 50 days at 10 °C. Hardening of cheese with LC-CD dominant appeared at 30 days. However, hardening of cheese with LM-CD dominant did not appear until 50 days. The pH of the LC-CD was 5.18 ± 0.04 at 30 days, lower than that of LM-CD. The proteolytic activity of LC-CD sample was 2993.67 ± 246.17 units/g, higher than that of LM-CD sample (1421.67 ± 174.5 units/g). These results indicate that high acid production and high protease activity of L. curvatus might have caused hardening of cheese.

SummaryA study was made of the utilization of citrate in milk by some lactic acid bacteria. WhenStreptococcus diacetilactis1007 was grown alone or with eitherStreptococcus cremoris924 orLactobacillus caseiB 142/C or with both these latter organisms, > 99% of the milk citrate was utilized within 5 days.L. caseiB 142/C andL. casei/Str. cremorisutilized 57 and 14% of the citrate, respectively. WhenL. caseiC 2 andL. caseiC 5 were grown in milk in whichStr. cremoris924 had been previously grown, 94 and 64%, respectively, of the citrate was utilized after 7 days at 30°C.Cheeses were made using a citrate-fermenting and a non-citrate-fermenting starter and citrate concentrations of the milks, wheys and curds were determined during cheese-making. WithStr. cremoris924, citrate was preferentially retained in the curd at pressing, the concentration in the curd moisture being 2·9 times that in the whey. With the mixed starterStr. cremoris924/Str. diacetilactis1007, the curd at pressing and from the press contained only 27 and 5%, respectively, of the citrate present in theStr. cremoriscurd at these times.Cheeses were made usingStr. cremoris924, combinations ofStr. cremoris/Str. diacetilactis1007, or with δ-gluconic acid lactone instead of starter, with and without the addition ofL. caseiC 5, in order to examine the ability of the latter organism to produce ‘blowing’ in the sense of distension of the Cryovac wrapping of film-wrapped cheeses.L. caseiC 5 neither accelerated the decrease in cheese citrate nor produced blowing of the film-wrapping. Possible reasons for this behaviour are discussed.
