| Description | The aim of the study was to assess the effects of the packaging materials applied (shrink foil, copolymer coating and food wax) in combination with Lacticaseibacillus casei CCDM 198 microbial strain on biochemical, microbiological and textural properties of Dutch -type cheese during ripening (at 12 +/- 1 degrees C for 168 days). A multivariate principal component analysis method based on a correlation matrix was employed to evaluate the relationships between basic chemical properties, textural and microbiological parameters, biogenic amine and free amino acid contents in relation to the packaging material used and the length of the ripening time. The use of different packaging materials did not have a significant effect on the salt content, fat content, and pH values, whereas significant differences were observed for dry matter content and textural properties development. The presence of Lacticaseibacillus casei CCDM 198 strain accelerated proteolysis in all samples. Shrink foil and food wax had similar effects on the development of biogenic amine content during ripening, while considerable differences were observed for the samples wrapped in copolymer coating. Copolymer coating in combination with Lacticaseibacillus casei CCDM 198 strain was able to reduce biogenic amine content by up to 28% after 168 days. |
