At NIZO, we developed a plant-based MicroCheese Model, a high-throughput micro-scale screening system, to evaluate bacterial spore germination and growth in product matrices. This allows for fast, cost-effective control strategies to prevent Clostridium spp. growth in vegan cheese by assessing temperature, pH, and organic acid control parameters efficiently.
Based in Ede, the Netherlands, NIZO is a globally leading, private, and independent contract research organization specializing in food and health innovation for over 75 years. Operating the largest open access food-grade pilot plant in Europe, we leverage the integrated power of science and technology to help our customers in transforming food and nutrition more successfully, sustainably and efficiently; ultimately leading to better food and health.
