dc.description.abstractResearch background. Some herbs provide functional properties to foods, especially their antibacterial and antioxidant properties. On the other hand, modified atmosphere packaging is being considered as an alternative to vacuum packaging to preserve the functional and sensory properties of foods. Since the shelf life of whey cheese is quite short, different packaging methods such as modified atmosphere packaging are favoured. Besides, the addition of herbs both gives flavour to the cheese and improves its functional properties. Experimental approach. In the present study, oregano ( Origanum onites) ) or rosemary ( Rosmarinus officinalis) ) was added to probiotic whey cheese (lor) containing Lactobacillus acidophilus La-5 and Bifidobacterium lactis Bb-12 under modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) (80 % CO2 2 and 20 % N2) 2 ) or vacuum packaging. The physicochemical, microbiological and sensory properties as well as antioxidant and proteolytic activities of the cheese samples were determined. Results and conclusions. The addition of herbs did not negatively affect the viable counts of B. lactis and L. acidophilus, , and the cheese samples contained at least 8 log CFU/g of both probiotic bacteria for 35 days. MAP improved the viability of B. lactis and L. acidophilus in cheese with rosemary during the first few weeks of storage compared to vacuum packaging. The addition of herbs significantly increased the total phenolic content and antioxidant activity under both MAP and vacuum. MAP improved the antioxidant activity of lor cheese with added herbs on days 14 and 28 more than vacuum packaging. Lor cheese with rosemary under MAP conditions showed the highest DPPH center dot (2,2,-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) scavenging activity and also the highest proteolytic activity throughout storage. The sample with rosemary under MAP had the highest taste and aroma scores throughout the entire storage period. Fortification with herb and MAP offers advantages in the production of whey cheese. The use of rosemary and modified atmosphere packaging makes it possible to achieve high viability of probiotic bacteria, total phenolic content, antioxidant activity and sensory acceptance in lor cheese. Novelty and scientific contribution. This is the first study in which both different herbs and different packaging methods were applied to probiotic whey cheese (lor). The study shows that the functional properties of whey cheese can be improved by using different herbs under different packaging conditions. Among the analysed properties of the product, the improvement of the viability of probiotic bacteria is particularly valuable for human health. Thus, it contributes to the science of functional food and enables the use of these parameters in some other foods.en_US
