Summary

The effect of freeze-drying on the characteristics of three strains of Penicillium camemberti and four strains of Penicillium roqueforti used in the fungal ripening of cheese was evaluated. It was confirmed that over a 12-month storage period, the viability of both species remained satisfactory. The other characteristics, growth in solid media (Penicillium camemberti), proteolytic and lipolytic capacity, show a tendency to decrease with the increase in the duration of the storage period.
