Mesophilic aromatic cultures

LD cultures are the classical aromatic starters containing all four species of mesophilic lactic acid bacteria:
Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis (O)
Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris (O)
Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. cremoris (L)
Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis biovar diacetylactis (D)
LD cultures are mixtures of the culture components O, L, and D in various ratios. The term LD culture indicates
the presence of the two aroma-forming bacteria, Leuconostoc and L. diacetylactis, which are characterized by
their ability to produce aroma and gas by converting the citrate in milk into the flavor compound diacetyl and
CO2.
LD cultures are widely used in the production of soft cheeses like traditional Camembert and in continental
cheeses with round eyes e.g. Gouda cheese. When producing the continental cheese types, one of the quality
features is the right holes or "eye" formation. The size and the number of eyes in the cheese are some of the
most difficult things to control. To a certain degree this eye formation is dependent on the rate of citrate
fermentation in the cheese (measured as mg of citrate fermented after 24 hours). The composition between
acid producing strains and aroma-forming strains as well as the ratio between L. cremoris and L. diacetylactis,
can be related to the rate of metabolism of citrate. However, many non-culture related factors are also
involved e.g. production process, temperature, salt content, etc. The best known Chr. Hansen mesophilic
aromatic cultures are the CH-N, Flora Danica, DCC and EASY-SET FLORA series.
L cultures and D cultures, which only consist of either Leuconostoc or L. diacetylactis as the aroma-forming
bacteria, are only used in cheese production to a limited extent. This is due to the traditional use of LD
cultures in continental cheese production. Recent developments with Chr. Hansen has created a new Edam
EASY-SET FLORA C100 and C900 range which is a L culture blend of both L and O components, ideal for Edam
manufacturing and other cheese types when a cheese with small eyes and traditional cheese flavour is
desired.
Mesophilic homofermentative cultures O culture
O cultures only consist of the acid-producing strains, Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis/cremoris. This type of
culture is mainly used in Cheddar, Cottage Cheese, White Brined Cheese (Feta) and other cheese types in
which a gas formation in the product is undesirable. The best known Chr. Hansen mesophilic
homofermentative cultures are the R, FRC, and Mild O series.
To improve the acidification activity of the O-type cultures for Cheddar and other fast cheese productions, a
very fast series of cultures have been developed by blending mesophilic homofermentative cultures with S.
thermophilus. During a typical Cheddar production the O culture will initiate the acidification during renneting
at 30-32C (86-90F). However, due to the thermophilic nature of the S. thermophilus culture, this culture will
take over the acidification during the scalding step at 37-40C (98-104F), and continue on the belt during the
cheddaring process allowing the manufacturer to reach target pH quickly.
Thermophilic cultures ST culture - are mainly used in cheese in which either
a scalding temperature 40-54C (104-130F) is used e.g. in hard cheese like Emmenthaler, Gruyere
and Grana, or
a high scalding temperature during cheese make is used, e.g. 37C (98F), as in the soft cheese types
like Cresenza and stabilised Brie types, or in the Pasta filata types like Mozzeralla and Pizza cheese.
For Emmenthaler and Gruyere types of cheeses, S. thermophilus and L. helveticus are normally used. L.
helveticus is able to ferment the galactose which is secreted by the S. thermophilus, and processes a high
proteolytic activity, giving the required proteolysis and desired flavor.
-7-
In production of Pasta filata types of cheese as well as different US style pizza cheeses, S. thermophilus is used
as the main culture - sometimes in a blend with either L. bulgaricus or L. helveticus to obtain the right
characteristics of the cheese. For production of Pasta Filata it is important to have a very fast acidifying and
phage resistant culture. Examples of Chr. Hansen cultures for this application are STI, TCC, and TCC-20.
Propionic acid bacteria may not be classified as real lactic acid bacteria, but they are used in the production of
certain cheeses (Emmenthaler, Swiss, Maasdam, etc.), in which large eyes and sweet nutty flavors are
desirable. Examples of Chr. Hansen cultures for this application are the PS series.
Flavor Control cultures are regarded as a "package" of bacteria added as adjunct cultures, containing the
right enzymes to modify the ripening process incl. foil ripening/rindless cheese. During ripening the additional
bacteria added will lyses, releasing the intracellular enzymes into the cheese matrix and in this way modify the
ripening process. Examples of Chr. Hansen cultures are CR-200, CR-300, and CR Full Flavor series.
SWING cultures are a range of aerobic cultures which can be divided into four main categories: Mold, Yeast,
Brevibacterium and others. Due to the aerobic nature of the SWING cultures, they mainly grow on the
surface of cheese.
The SWING Mold cultures are mainly used in the production of white mold cheeses like Brie, Camembert
and blue mold cheeses like Gorgonzola. The two most important types of mold are the white mold Penicillium
candidum and the blue mold Penicillium roqueforti. SWING Yeast is often used to stimulate the growth of
other microorganisms as Brevibacterium on the cheese surface, due to their ability to increase pH by
fermenting lactic acid.
SWING Brevibacterium (or the so-called "smear cultures") are traditionally smeared on the surface of
cheese just after brining. Brevibacterium are very salt tolerant and have a strong proteolytic activity. During
growth on the cheese surface, Brevibacterium linens creates a characteristic orange color and smear layer.
Due to the high protein degradation on the cheese surface, flavor compounds penetrate into the centre of the
cheese and give the characteristic ripened flavor of smear cheeses.
We are pleased to present this overview of our cultures where innovation and responsiveness to market go
hand in hand.

Introduction to Cheddar Cheese Cultures
The figure below provides an overview of the different culture series that belong to the Cheddar cheese family. The cultures vary
significantly from each other as far as flavor contribution to the cheese and acidification speed. Generally, the cultures that are located in the
far right of the figure will have high flavor contribution due to the presence of Lactobacillus strains.

DVS RSF
This series is based on homofermentative cultures consisting of mesophilic O culture strains, a thermophilic strain and a Lactobacillus
helveticus strain. The cultures in this series are known for their excellent phage robustness and fast acidification speed. Due to the presence of
the Lactobacillus helveticus strain, the culture will add sweet and nutty flavor notes to the ripened cheese. For a more intense note of the
sweet and nutty flavors, the RSF-621 culture is recommended due to the higher ratio of Lactobacillus helveticus strains than the other cultures
in this series. Moreover, the RSF cultures work best when the cheese process includes scalding temperatures at 37C (99F) or higher, which
then typically will result in a faster cheese make time and also a more phage robust performance compared to all mesophilic blends. Also it is
recommended to use this series in a culture rotation system.

Introduction to Continental Cheese Cultures
The continental cheeses are typified by semi-hard yellow cheeses as the Gouda and Edam types traditionally made in the Netherlands, but
now produced worldwide for considerable international trade. Most important parameters are overall consistency of the finished cheese
(acidification, flavor and texture), more control for the cheese maker and convenient to use. Culture types covers traditional DVS LD cultures,
but also blended cultures like DVS DCC-type and the latest innovation of EASY-SET FLORA C-series. A wide range of SWING cultures for
smear coat (Brevibacterium linens) and DVS adjunct cultures for ripening or propionic cheeses can be used as a supplement and innovative
cheeses or efficient ripening. The figure below provides an overview of the outstanding range of DVS and EASY-SET FLORA culture series
that belong to the Continental cheese family.

Introduction to Cottage Cheese Cultures
The figure below provides an overview of the different culture series that belong to the Cottage cheese family. The cultures mainly differ
from each other in cheese yield, acidification speed and phage robustness. Fresco cultures are especially designed to meet strong
performance requirement of cultures in the cottage cheese industry. These cultures contain special strains of Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis,
of Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris, and Streptococcus thermophilus, selected for their phage robustness, fast acid production, and
particularly for Fresco 3000 with excellent yield.

Fresco 3000
This series is a blend of mesophilic O culture strains and a thermophilic strain that is designed to meet requirements in the cottage cheese
industry. The series offers all the same advantages as the Fresco 1000 like: Consistent set times and production procedures, increased plant
throughput, and improved phage robustness. Innovation has taken Fresco 3000 to the next level and now it also offers: A sophisticated way
to increase cheese yield, and an improved curd identity and texture. Due to excellent water binding properties of some of the strains in the
Fresco 3000 range, a cottage cheese plant will typically see an improvement in cheese yield of 2-5%. This additional curd yield comes mostly
from water that is bound in a sophisticated matrix, which ensures improvement of the curd quality and mouth feel. Lastly, it is recommended
to use this series in a culture rotation system.

SWING GEO - Geotrichum candidum
This series is composed of strains from yeast. The cultures contribute to the cheese coating, forming a thin rind and bringing a typical flavor to
the cheese, while decreasing bitterness. Lastly, some strains - e.g. GEO CB - are able to inhibit the growth of contaminant molds.

SWING LAF - Yeast

This series consists of strains from various species selected for targeted purposes both neutralizing and fermenting yeast. Neutralizing yeast
is devoted to the consumption of lactate resulting in rise of pH, and they develop on the cheese rind. Fermenting yeast produces flavor in the
cheese curd, and they grow preferably inside the cheese. The SWING TRIO is a blend of carefully appointed yeasts, allowing bioprotection
towards unwanted molds on the surface of soft cheese and continental cheese types.

Protective Cultures
Introduction to Protective Cultures
DVS BioSafe is Chr. Hansens response to gram positive spoilages, e.g. Bacillus and Clostrium, for cheese manufacturers who want to go
natural. BS-10 can improve bio-control during the process and provide more homogeneous products with improved quality of the final cheese.
BS-10 has a controlled production of nisin that inhibits microbial growth. This culture should be used in combination with a DVS acidifying
starter culture.
DVS FreshQ is Chr. Hansens way of utilizing the power of nature to inhibit growth of yeasts & molds that reduce shelf-life and negatively
impact the quality of many dairy products. Sorbic acid and its calcium, sodium and potassium salts or natamycin are means to prevent
unwanted yeast and mold but it is not in line with consumer trends of natural and clean labels. effective in preventing unwanted yeast and
mold - but its not in line with consumer trends of natural and clean labels. DVS FreshQ consists of natural microorganisms with the
potential to inhibit unwanted contaminants like yeast and mold through fermentation. DVS FreshQ cultures add an additional hurdle to
your quality assurance program and enhances the effectiveness of your sanitation program with no negative flavor impact.

DVS Butter - D-series

Butter is produced by a traditional churning process or a continuous process. Both processes are adjusted according to seasonal variances in
milk composition. In order to get the acidification and the aroma production the preferred direct inoculation cultures are the DVS CHN-22 to
get a higher acidification speed and inoculation using 2000 to 4000 Units per 10 tons of cream. In addition to these DVS cultures it is needed
also to add an aromatic culture like DVS CHD-1 or DVS CHD-2 to increase the diacetyl flavor. The culture F-DVS CHD-2 is inoculated in an
amount of 500 Units per 2.000 liters of milk.
This DVS series consists of defined Lactococcus lactis spp. lactis diacetylactis. The cultures are homofermentative and known for flavoring
properties, bring fresh, creamy and buttery notes to the butter or spread product.

Kosher For Passover

Introduction to KFP
All Chr. Hansen cheese cultures are Kosher certified, however, several other cultures are also certified special Kosher for Passover (KFP). The
figure below provides an overview of the different cultures in the Chr. Hansen KFP series that all have been certified Kosher for Passover. All
these cultures have similar performance as the regular versions. The specific product KFP CHEESE is similar to that of the Fresco series, and
therefore, KFP CHEESE can be used as an alternative to Fresco cultures, when Kosher for Passover is required.
