Process for improving the quality of direct acidified Cottage cheese

The effects of plain and fermented curd dressing ripened by single (Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis biovar. diacetylactis) as well as mixed-strain starter cultures (L. lactis subsp. lactis; L. lactis subsp. cremoris; L. lactis subsp. lactis biovar. diacetylactis:: 1:1:1), different levels of fat (18–24%) in curd dressing and inoculation rate (1–5%) on direct acidified Cottage cheese were observed. Ripened curd dressing containing 22% fat and mixed-strain starter cultures at 3% imparted a pleasant acidic note, delicate overtones of diacetyl, improved the body and texture, visual appearance and thereby enhanced the overall quality of the product.
