In the context of cheese production, the regular application of a brine solution is a maturation technique that promotes uniformity in the microbial populations on the cheese's surface and facilitates interactions among these microorganisms. This investigation involved the analysis of a longitudinal dataset encompassing three washed-rind cheese communities sampled during the ripening process.

Details

The study uncovered a remarkably consistent microbial progression within each cheese. In the bacterial community, Firmicutes dominate at the outset, with Proteobacteria swiftly assuming dominance by the end of the ripening period. Additionally, both Cheese A and Cheese C consistently demonstrate the establishment of Actinobacteria and Bacteroidetes, each in its own distinct manner. To corroborate these findings using the MolPad dashboard, we conducted an analysis of two cheeses (A and C) from all three production batches, spanning weeks 2 to 13.
