Thermophilic bacteria are the most preferred starter culture

Bacteria-based starter cultures are classified into two types, namely, thermophilic and mesophilic bacteria. Thermophilic bacteria are characterized by their ability to grow at temperatures above 40 °C, while mesophilic bacteria grow in medium-range temperatures. The major reason for the preference of thermophilic bacteria is due to their ability to ferment galactose as well as glucose, which is desirable in some cheese, especially mozzarella and cheddar. Cheese and butter are the major application areas of thermophilic starter cultures, whereas mesophilic starter cultures are preferred during the production of yogurt. Generally, any dairy-based product that does not require high temperatures to dry the curd will utilize mesophilic cultures. Some of the major manufacturers of bacteria-based starter cultures include the likes of Chr. Hansen A/S (Denmark), DuPont (US), and DSM (Netherlands). In the case of Chr. Hansen, a majority of its starter culture products use thermophilic cultures
