In this study, it was aimed to design the time‐predicted inactivation model for various growth curves and the growth parameters representing the changes in the inactivation of Staphylococcus aureus in probiotic white cheese. For this purpose, S. aureus were inoculated in the pasteurized milk and the production of probiotic white cheese was performed in five different groups, and then samples were matured for 60 days at 4°C. S. aureus, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus casei Shirota, and mesophilic starter culture levels of the samples were analyzed on the 1st, 4th, 7th, 10th, 15th, 30th, and 60th days of maturation. The inactivation model evaluation was performed by using the number of microorganisms counted with Fourier modeling method. In determining the model to be applied, the coefficient of determination (R²) and the sum of squared errors (SSE) for the mean number of microorganisms detected via modeling method were used. As conclusions, the number of S. aureus has decreased by approximately 5 logarithmic units at the end of the storage period by using probiotics together with the starter culture. It was determined that the Fourier modeling method is a suitable inactivation model with R² values of 0.9847–0.9986 and SSE values of 0.094–0.510.
