The current research effort consisted on design, building and testing of a customized apparatus – a closed cylindrical, double-jacketed cheese vat, with a 50 L-capacity, aimed at manufacturing Serra da Estrela cheese (or similar ewe’s milk cheeses), provided with knives that play a double role – stirring and cutting, a combined device for draining and pre-moulding, and a cleaning-in-place system. This novel app...
This work was aimed at enumerating the viable microorganisms in ripened Serra da Estrela cheeses, manufactured from both refrigerated and non-refrigerated milk, in various dairies located throughout the demarcated region. Scanning electron microscopy was used to analyze the microstructure, and thus aid in understanding possible differences in their microbiological profile. The cheeses were allowed to ripen unde...
