ABSTRACT
The aim of the study was to determine the influence of probiotic strains Lactobacillus acidophilus La-5 and Lactobacillus casei DN-114001 on the content of CLA in model ripening cheeses. Lactococci and lactobacilli count was determined. Model cheeses with probiotic bacteria were subjected to ripening during 8 weeks at a temperature of 6°C. Fatty acids methyl esters including CLA (18:2 cis-9, trans-11) were analysed using gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry. The content of CLA in fresh cheeses was between 680 and 750 mg/100 g of fat. In the investigated model cheeses there were no essential changes in the CLA content during the eight weeks of ripening.
