It naturally occurs in human tears, saliva, mucus and breastmilk. Although lysozyme is virtually absent in cows\u2019 milk, it occurs in large quantities in <strong><b>the white of hens\u2019 eggs<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0and is extracted for its qualities by the food industry, especially the dairy sector.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_it_is_used_for_and_which_cheeses_benefit_most\"><\/span>What it is used for and which cheeses benefit most?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong><b>Lysozyme<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0is used to produce a variety of <strong><b>hard and semi-hard cheeses <\/b><\/strong>with an ageing time that lasts over<strong><b>\u00a0two months<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0(the most famous one is\u00a0<strong><b>Grana Padano<\/b><\/strong>).<\/p>\n<p>Its main purpose is to<strong><b>\u00a0stop the proliferation of clostridia and provide cheese with natural protection<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0against late blowing; indeed, when clostridia does develop (especially <em><i>Clostridium tyrobutyricum<\/i><\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em><i>Clostridium sporogenes<\/i><\/em>), it can badly spoil some hard and semi-hard cheeses with lengthy ageing processes, even after only three weeks in the maturing chamber. Clostridium\u00a0spores germinate while cheese is ripening, generating butyric acid which in turn creates an unappealing taste and unpleasant smell as well as large amounts of gas which causes slits, cracks and large irregular eyes.<\/p>\n<p>The<strong><b>\u00a0lysozyme<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0acts by attacking the peptidoglycans in the cellular walls of the gram-positive bacteria (while the gram-negative bacteria are less prone to attack due to their complex cellular wall). So, you only need to add about <strong><b>20 milligrams of product per litre of milk<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0to stop the clostridia from developing in the cheese while leaving intact all the good bacteria and creating the conditions for a flavoursome best-seller.<\/p>\n<p>Another important technique consists in <strong><b>speeding up the cheese ageing process of the cheese<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0by initiating starter-culture lysis which triggers the release of cytoplasmic enzymes that play a key role in the proteolytic process.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Clerici_lysozyme_protect_your_cheeses_naturally\"><\/span>Clerici lysozyme: protect your cheeses naturally!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong><b>Clerici lysozyme<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0is a\u00a0<strong><b>natural preservative<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0which meets all prevailing quality standards.
