Summary

A medium Polish enterprise has developed the technology of manufacturing ready-to-use growth media and activators for culturing of bulk starters.
The advantage of the offer is that optimum conditions for the development and concentration for milk bacteria are assured.
The technology can be used in dairy sector for production of hard cheese, tvarog and cottage cheese.
The company is looking for industrial partners to cooperate within the commercial agreement with technical assistance.

Full description

The company offers the technology of production ready-to-use growth media and activators for culturing of 3 types bulk starters: for production of hard cheese, tvarog cheese and collage cheese.
The media are composed of: milk base, buffering system, growth activator and anti-phage substances (the substance that protect from the development of phages  viruses killing good bacteria culture).
Ready-to-use growth media are supplied complete and require only dissolving in water and pasteurisation before use. Different types of media have had their compositions optimised for mezophile (optimal temperature 20-40°C) or thermofile (develop in the temperature to 45°C) cultures.
After cooling to the specified temperature the mix should be dosed with appropriate DVS (direct-vat-set) starter culture and incubated to the recommended pH value.
The prepared starter should be mixed and cooled to 4-6°C, then added in appropriate amounts to the milk vat.
The functions of the media are as follows:
- Balancing growth of bacterial strains
- Stabilising starter activity
- Reducing the production costs
- Standardising final pH value

Innovative Aspects

Using media for production of bulk starter permits a significant reduction in production costs and at the same time increasing the products competitiveness on the market and facilitation of technological process.
Starters prepared using the medium standardise and accelerate the technological processes involved in the production of cottage cheese.
