higher rate of growth in case of L. monocytogenes which
reached a maximum of 4.65 log CFU g1 against 4.30 log in
case of S. aureus after 7 days of storage, referring to higher viability
in the first case being psychrotrophic bacteria. Supplementing
cheese with BCSO considerably reduced the counts
of the four pathogens. S. aureus, E. coli and S. enteritidis were
reduced to the level of ca. 2.6 log after 21 days of storage, i.e.
with corresponding magnitudes of reduction
