Q1Domain Verified
Which of the following microbial groups is primarily responsible for the initial enzymatic breakdown of lactose in raw milk, leading to a decrease in pH and the potential for spoilage if not controlled?
Yeasts and molds
Thermophilic lactobacilli
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB)
Psychrotrophic Pseudomonas species
Q2Domain Verified
In the context of controlling microbial spoilage in pasteurized milk, what is the MOST significant implication of the presence of heat-resistant bacterial spores (e.g., Bacillus coagulans)?
Their presence indicates a failure in the initial milk collection and cooling process.
They are easily inactivated by standard cleaning and sanitization procedures.
They will readily multiply and cause spoilage at refrigeration temperatures.
They can survive pasteurization and germinate into vegetative cells that produce spoilage enzymes.
Q3Domain Verified
During the ripening of hard cheeses, the enzymatic activity of starter cultures and secondary microflora plays a crucial role in flavor development. Which of the following is a primary mechanism by which propionibacteria contribute to the characteristic flavor and eye formation in Swiss-type cheeses?
Fermentation of lactate into propionic acid, acetic acid, and carbon dioxide.
Enzymatic hydrolysis of proteins into peptides and amino acids, creating savory flavors.
Production of diacetyl and acetoin, leading to buttery notes.
Production of lipases that break down milk fat into free fatty acids.
