- Abstract
Drying is a widely used method to extend the shelf life of Gouda cheese, which is prone to microbial growth due to its high moisture and protein content. This study aimed to evaluate the microbial content of Gouda cheese dried using different drying methods and drying time. The 2x2 factorial design was used: drying method (oven and dry roasting) and drying time (60 and 120 min). The observed variable was the Total Plate Count (TPC). As a result, only the different drying methods showed a significant influence (p < 0.01) on the TPC of dried Gouda cheese. The dry roasting method had lower TPC (1.94 ± 0.44 Log CFU/g) than the oven method (2.57 ± 0.33 Log CFU/g). Meanwhile, the lowest value of TPC (1.58 ± 0.19 Log CFU/g) was reached by the dried Gouda cheese with a dry roasting method in 60 min drying time. In conclusion, dry roasting could be recommended for producing dried Gouda cheese.
