Scientists are using DNA extraction to build a quality 'ID card' for Andalusian goat's cheese, potentially offering a new way of proving the safety and quality of speciality products.
The Spanish researchers will attempt to characterise the bacterial strains in two different types of the cheese. They will then monitor the products throughout the ripening process to understand how the micro-organisms interact and change.
The study, run by the Department of Microbiology at the University...
