“Turkish white cheese”
is the first among the cheese varieties that have
been ripened in Turkey. Starter
culture microorganisms are added to white cheese during production because of their technological benefits. It is desired that protecting viability of starter bacteria in cheese and bringing
positively textural and sensory properties. These bacteria are
responsible for proteolysis and lipolysis reactions in cheese, resulting in
metabolites and taste and aroma formation. Factors affecting the viability of these microorganisms include concentrations of salt
in brine solution, acidities of cheese and brine solution, dry matter content
of cheese, temperature of brine solution and etc. Determination of the optimum conditions for white
brine cheese as well as to maintain the viability of both beneficial
microorganisms is important in terms of the benefits to human health. In this study, studies on the effect of brine
salt concentration on starter culture bacteria in white cheese and similar
brine cheeses were reviewed.
