In semi-soft cheeses, produced with pasteurised milk, raw milk and different starter cultures, the concentrations of cadaverine, histamine, phenylethylamine, putrescine and tyramine were investigated. The cultures (pasteurised milk cultures, raw milk cultures and starter cultures) strongly influenced the biogenic amine concentrations in the cheeses ripened for 5 months. Two cheeses made with identical pasteurised milk, but different ripening cultures, differed greatly in theirtotal biogenic amine concentrations. In general, the biogenic amine concentrations increased markedly between month 2 and month 3 of cheese ripening. The high content of enterococci and Enterobacteriaceae yielded the biogenic amine concentrations. In contrast, Lactobacilli did not seem to be important. However, unspecified bacteria have to be considered, since cheeses with comparable microbiological profiles differed enormously in their biogenic amine concentrations. Semi-soft cheeses produced from pasteurised milk showed remarkably lower total biogenic amine concentrations compared to semi-soft cheeses produced from raw milk. The highest total biogenic amine concentration was detected in a cheese produced from raw milk that had been stored for 36 h. In this cheese, the concentrations of cadaverine, phenylethylamine, putrescine and tyramine were higher than in all other cheeses. The highest histamine concentration was found to be in another raw milk cheese.
