| abstract |
A novel strain of Lactococcus lactis subspecies cremori ('Ropy 352') has been identified and isolated. Ropy 352 produces a previously unknown exopolysaccharide (EPS 352) that when expressed in or added to milk, imparts highly desirable sensory characteristics to the milk, including making the milk very thick, with a very smooth mouth-feel, and slightly sweet with an obvious 'chewable-bite'. |
