Abstract
The efficient manufacture of fermented dairy products on an industrial scale requires a supply of reliable starter cultures with properties suited to desired product specifications. These cultures must be backed by relevant research and development activities. This article describes the issues involved in establishing a centre to provide starter culture R & D for a group of independent cheese manufacturing companies, and discusses a strategic approach to the management of starter cultures.
