RESUMO

Mastitis is an inflammatory reaction of the mammary gland, caused by pathogenic bacteria, resulting in increased number of somatic cells of milk. Milks with high somatic cells count (SCC) present alterations in the composition, influencing, therefore, the quality of processed dairy products. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of milk SCC on the development of microorganisms and sensorial characteristics, during ripening of Prato cheese. Two groups of animals were selected to obtain milk with low (<200.000 cell/ml) and high (>700.000 cell/ml) SCC. Centesimal composition of cheeses was evaluated after processing and after 6, 12, 19, 35 e 54 days of storage for lactic bacteria, psychrotrophs, total bacteria count, yeasts and moulds counts. A factorial arrangment of treatments 2 x 5 in a completely randomized blocks was used. The effect of SCC (2 levels of variation) and storage time (5 levels of variation) on studied variables was evaluated by ANOVA and Tukey?s test at 5% of significance. The cheeses sensory evaluation was carried out through firmness, flavor and of lavors using ideal scale of nine points and general acceptance was evaluated by hedonic scale of nine points. The sensory evaluations were carried out after 7, 21, 34, 48 and 61 days of storage. Milk with high SCC had higher pH than milk with low SCC. Cheeses obtained from high SCC milk showed higher moisture than cheeses with low SCC. SCC affected lactic bacteria and psychrotrophs counts, as higher levels were found in low SCC cheeses. Total count bacteria, lactic acid and psychrotrophs counts decreased during storage, while yeasts and moulds count increased, independently of milk SCC. The sensory evaluation showed lower general acceptance to high SCC cheeses when compared with low SCC cheeses.
