본 연구에서는 비살균 원유로 제조되고 숙성실에서 60일 이상 숙성된 7가지의 다양한 Gouda 치즈의 미생물학적 안전성을 실험적으로 검증하기 위해서 저장기간 동안에 다양한 미생물학적 변화를 조사하였다. Cheese 1과 2는 전통적인 비살균 Godua 치즈에 있어서는 60일 저장기간 동안 Salmonella spp.는 전혀 검출되지 않았으며, E. coli는 20 day부터는 검출되지 않았다. 대장균군은 Cheese 1에서 40 day부터 검출되지 않았지만, Cheese 2에서는 60 day까지 검출되었다. Cheese 1과 Cheese 2는 비살균 Gouda 치즈이기에 약간의 차이는 있었지만 전반적으로 비슷한 경향을 보였다. Cheese 3(원유에 인위적으로 Salmonella spp.를 오염시킨 후 제조된 비살균 Gouda 치즈), Cheese 4(Cheese 3에서 kefir에서 분리한 DH5 유산균 첨가)와 Cheese 5(Cheese 3에서 kefir에서 분리한 DN1 유산균 첨가)에 있어서는 60일 저장기간 동안 Salmonella spp.의 저해가 관찰되었다. 특히 Cheese 4와 Cheese 5에 추가적으로 첨가된 Kefir에서 분리한 유산균 DH5와 DN1은 Cheese 3보다 유의적으로 Salmonella spp.의 저해를 보였다. Cheese 6(유산균첨가 없이 제조된 비살균 Gouda 치즈)에서는 저장기간이 길어질수록 유산균수가 다른 Cheese들에 비해서 유의적으로 낮게 나타났다. 그리고 Cheese 7(살균한 원유로 제조한 전통적인 Gouda 치즈)에 있어서는 대장균 및 대장균군, Salmonella ssp.는 거의 검출되지 않았고, 유산균은 다른 Cheese들보다 약간 높게 나타났다. 60일 숙성된 Cheese 1부터 Cheese 7까지의 모든 샘플에 대한 Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Clostridium perfringens, E. coli O157:H7 검사에서 모두 음성을 보였다. 향후 kefir에서 분리한 유산균 DH5와 DN1의 비살균 원유를 이용한 숙성치즈의 제조에 관한 연구가 필요하겠다. 본 연구에서 Salmonella spp.를 인위적으로 접종한 Cheese 4와 5에서 보여준 Salmonella spp.의 저해 효과는 비살균 원유를 이용한 숙성치즈의 제조에 보다 큰 안전성을 부여할 것이라 사료된다.

Hokkaido, as center of Japanese dairying, 3.48 million tons of raw milk which was about 40% of total production in Japan were produced from 11,400 farms in 1996. The average herd size and the annual volume of milking per head in Hokkaido were 78 head, 7,200kg, and the quality of raw milk also is much better than that of other area in Japan. Raw milk having less than 100,000/ml in viable count and less than 300,000/ml of somatic cell count were 99.6%, 93% respectively. In spite of producing large amount of high quality milk, only 26% of total amount was processed as market milk and 76% was used for making dairy products like butter, cheese and milk powder. Therefore, because of big difference in price between the raw milk for market milk and for dairy products. the income of dairy farms are much less comparing to other parts of Japan, where most of the raw milk are consumed as market milk.

In 1967, cheese was first produced with small scale of mozzarella cheese in Korea. The processed cheese market was highly grown after putting on the market of sliced cheese in the late 1980's, and the various products that complied with well-being trends such as organic and high functional cheese have been produced in the 2000's. The natural cheese opens up a new domestic market after producing camembert and brie cheese in the end of 2004. At present. the cheese market is expanded with differentiated products such as high value added and high functional cheese. The size of domestic cheese market remains about 200 billion won, but it is expected to go over a trillion won on account of growing preference of natural cheese with well-being trends. To promote domestic cheese industry, differentiation policy of raw milk price for cheese, diversification of cheese products, financial support to farm-made cheese industry and automation and processing development to improve productivity should be taken into account in the future in Korea.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are abundant in bovine milk and milk derived from other livestock, and they have functional roles in infants and in the secretion process of mammary glands. However, few studies have evaluated miRNAs in dairy processes, such as during cheese making and ripening. Thus, we investigated the characteristics of milk-derived miRNAs during the manufacturing and ripening of Camembert cheese as well as the microbiota present using the quantitative reverse transcription polymer chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and 16S rRNA pyrosequencing, respectively. Pyrosequencing showed that the cheese microbiota changed dramatically during cheese processing, including during the pasteurization, starter culture, and ripening stages. Our results indicated that the RNA contents per $200mg/200{\mu}l$ of the sample increased significantly during cheese-making and ripening. The inner cheese fractions had higher RNA contents than the surfaces after 12 and 22 days of ripening in a time-dependent manner (21.9 and 13.2 times higher in the inner and surface fractions than raw milk, respectively). We performed a comparative analysis of the miRNAs in each fraction by RT-qPCR. Large amounts of miRNAs (miR-93, miR-106a, miR-130, miR-155, miR-181a, and miR-223) correlated with immune responses and mammary glands were present in aged cheese, with the exception of miR-223, which was not present on the surface. Considerable amounts of miRNAs were also detected in whey, which is usually disposed of during the cheese-making process. Unexpectedly, there were no significant correlations between immune-related miRNAs and the microbial populations during cheese processing. Taken together, these results show that various functional miRNAs are present in cheese during its manufacture and that they are dramatically increased in amount in ripened Camembert cheese, with differences according to depth.

The objectives of this study were: i) to detect the presence of Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) in raw milk, cheese, beef minced meat, and chicken meat samples; ii) to evaluate the antimicrobial susceptibility of the isolates; and iii) to determine clonal relation among the isolates by using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) method. Therefore, a total of 160 food samples were randomly collected between August 2014 and May 2015 in Hatay province, located in the southern Turkey. Twenty (12.5%) of the samples were found to be contaminated with S. aureus. A total of 40 isolates from the 20 positive samples were confirmed to be S. aureus by multiplex PCR based on 16S rRNA and nuc gene. The mec A gene was not detected in any of the S. aureus strains. In the present study, 39 out of 40 (97.5%) isolates were found to be resistant to one or more antibiotics. All of isolates were susceptible to gentamicin, oxacillin, and vancomycin. The highest resistance rate was detected in penicillin (95%) and ampicillin (92.5%), followed by tetracycline (30%), erythromycin (20%), ciprofloxacin (12.5%). Nine major patterns were determined by PFGE. In 6 of these patterns, thirty-six strains (90%) had identical PFGE profiles.

Thermolysin 을 Dowex MWA-1에 10% glutaraldehyde로 고정화하였으며, 이 고정화 thermolysin을 사용하여 연속적응유(連續的凝乳)를 행(行)하였다. Thermolysin의 고정화수율(固定化收率)은 25%이었다. 고정화 thermolysin은 1/200M $Ca^{++}\;ion$의 존재하에서 $60^{\circ}C$의 고온에서도 안정하였으며 이 온도에서의 half-life는 16일이었다. 원료 milk를 pH 7.0이 되도록 조정하여 $55^{\circ}C$로 유지된 고정화 thermolysin column을 통과 시 켜 분해시킨 후, Streptococcus cremoris를 접종하여 응유(凝乳)시켜 curd를 얻었으며, 이렇게 하므로써 미생물오염이 방지될 수 있었으며 연속적응유를 효과적으로 행할 수 있었다. 고정화 thermolysin을 사용하여 얻은 cheddar type의 cheese는 rennet을 사용한 전통적인 방법으로 만든 cheese 와 거의 비슷하였다.

본 연구는 항원성을 저감한 유제품 개발을 위한 기초자료 도출을 위해 감마선 조사 처리시 퀘소블랑코 치즈의 화학적, 미생물학적 및 항원성 변화를 비교하였다. 퀘소블랑코 치즈는 제조과정에서 85$^{\circ}$C 열처리와 산에 의해 커드를 형성시켜 제조하는 신선치즈로 스타터 유산균을 첨가하지 않지만, 제조 시에 7.65${\pm}$0.04 log CFU/g의 총세균과 7.64${\pm}$0.02 log CFU/g의 유산균수를 나타내었다. 이는 원유 내 미생물중 85$^{\circ}$C에 사멸하지 않은 내열성 유산균이 압착 및 건조 과정에서 생장한 때문으로 생각된다. 대장균군은 검출되지 않았으나, 원유 내에 열과 산에 강한 유해균의 존재시 압착 및 건조 과정에서 증식할 가능성이 높다. 감마선 조사처리시에는 IkGy에서 5.45${\pm}$0.02 log CFU/g, 2kGy에서 2.12${\pm}$0.12 log CFU/g의 유산균수를 나타내었으나, 3kGy 이상에서는 전혀 검출되지 않아 안전성 확보가 가능한 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 감마선 조사에 의한 항원성 저감은 관찰되지 않았는 바 이는 치즈 제조과정에서 상당한 열처리가 이루어지고, 유단백질에서 주요한 항원성을 나타내는 ${\beta}$-lactoglobulin이나 ${\alpha}$-lactalbumin등 유청단백질이 대부분 치즈 제조과정에서 제거되었기 때문으로 생각된다.

The ripening of cheese allows for the development of characteristic taste and flavour, nutritional substances, bio-active components and texture, helping to improve quality. Many different microbiological, biochemical and nutritional changes occur during the process depending on the quality of raw milk, added cultures and enzymes, as well as specific processing and ripening conditions. During the ripening lactose is hydrolyzed to lactic, propionic and acetic acid, helping to reduce potential effects of the problem of lactose intolerance. Fat is hydrolyzed to butyric, propionic and conjugated linoleic acid, which function as bio-active substances. Protein is hydrolyzed to different peptides and amino acids which all show various bio-activities. However, errors of cheese ripening can happen and affect the quality of the product. To guarantee good quality cheese the process needs to be managed carefully with the right microbes used and ensuring cleanliness of processing facilities, staff, ventilation and hazard analysis and critical control points (HACCP). Research into and controlling of ripening technology is crucial for producing high quality cheeses.

There has been an increasing interest in low-fat foods among consumers worldwide. However, very few dairy companies produce low-fat cheese in Korea. Therefore, low-fat cheese production must be studied to not only promote consumer health but also diversify the domestic natural cheese market. In this study, we attempted to soften the texture of low-fat Mozzarella cheese prepared from raw milk standardized to 2% by changing the temperature of the cooking process from $43^{\circ}C$ to $37^{\circ}C$ and $40^{\circ}C$. The protein and fat contents of low-fat Mozzarella cheese prepared at the selected temperatures was 5.10-7.01% higher and 5.24-6.38% lower, respectively, than that of control cheese. Moreover, the hardness of low-fat Mozzarella cheese decreased with increasing cooking temperature. Further research to improve the sensory characteristics of low-fat cheese is required.
