Cover Story: Bio-preservation strategies applied to the manufacturing of goat’s raw milk cheeses, such as the use of extracts of lemon balm, spearmint, and sage, and a cocktail of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains have been proven to be efficient in the control of Staphylococcus aureus (SA). A new dynamic predictive microbiology model has been proposed that tackles the challenge of representing ongoing fermentation, in addition to the fact that extracts affect the decrease in cheese pH, whereas another dynamic model was employed for characterising the kinetics of SA in cheese as affected by LAB. For the first time, zpH values were characterised for plant extracts. While all strategies reduced the time required to decrease SA by one-log, spearmint extract was the most promising bio-preservative. View this paper
