Investigating Potential Environmental Sources for Coliforms in Cheddar Cheese Production

Creator:

Selover, Brandon J.

Abstract:

The production of Cheddar cheese is a complex process with multiple potential sources of undesirable bacteria, including those that have negative impacts on product quality (spoilage organisms) and those that are used to evaluate sanitary conditions in the production environment (indicator organisms). The dairy industry commonly uses coliform bacteria as...

Spatiotemporal Distributions of Bacteria in the Cheddar Production Environment

Creator:

Johnson, Jared D.

Abstract:

Given the many significant roles that bacteria play in modern food manufacturing, it is crucial that we have a fundamental understanding of how bacterial communities assemble and behave in the food manufacturing environment. The focus of this dissertation was to investigate both the spatial and temporal distributions of microbial communities...
