A starter culture system that produced both acid and nisin at acceptable rates in milk for manufacture of Gouda cheese was developed using nisin Z-producing L. lactis subsp. lactis biovar. diacetylactis UL 719 (UL 719) and a commercial Flora Danica (FD) starter culture. Different compositions of mixed cultures (0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 or 0.8% UL 719 with 1.4% FD) were tested for acidification and nisin Z production in milk after 12 h incubation at 30 degrees C. The 0.6/1.4% combination, selected as the optimal mixture of starter cultures, acidified milk to a suitable pH and produced nisin Z at a high concentration of 512 IU/ml. With this optimal combination, FD numbers of citrate-fermenting and non-fermenting bacteria did not change compared with the control (1.4% FD). However, with 0.8% of L. lactis strain UL 719 and 1.4% of the FD starter culture, the numbers of citrate-fermenting and non-fermenting bacteria in fermented milk decreased compared with those obtained when milk was inoculated with 0.2, 0.4 or 0.6% of UL 719 added to 1.4% FD or control cultures (1.4% FD). Mixed starter culture ratios 0.6/1.4%, 0.4/1.4% and 0.5/1.4% (UL 719/FD) were used to manufacture nisin Z containing Gouda cheese which was ripened up to 45 weeks. The composition of control cheeses made with 1.4% FD, and nisin Z-containing Gouda cheeses were similar with respect to percent moisture, fat, salt and protein. During the ripening period, the cell counts observed were approximately two logs higher in cheese made with the 0.6/1.4% mixed starter culture than in control cheese. In experimental cheese produced with 0.6/1.4% (UL 719/FD) mixed starter culture, nisin activity increased from 256 IU/g at the end of manufacture to a maximum of 512 IU/g after 6 weeks of ripening; the levels then decreased to 128 and 32 IU/g after 27 and 45 weeks of ripening, respectively. In contrast, nisin Z was not detected in experimental cheeses made with 0.4/1.4% or 0.5/1.4% (UL 719/FD) mixed starters. Using an affinity purified anti-nisin polyclonal antibody, anti-rabbit gold-conjugate and transmission electron microscopy, nisin Z was found to be localized in the cheese matrix, in fat globules, in the casein phase and concentrated at the fat-casein interface. After 27 weeks of ripening, nisin Z was detected preferentially in the fat globules of the experimental cheese.
