CHEESE STARTER MEDIA AND METHOD OF MAKING SAME Abstract of the Disclosure Low cost, readily dispersible, phage- resistant cheese starter media are described which include milk-derived nutrients (e.g., nonfat milk and whey) along with a minor proportion of prefer- ably free or unbound lecithin. The media also may advantageously include sodium tetraphosphate which assists in the dispersion of whey solids. The media of the invention can be used at significant- ly lower levels as compared with nonfat dry milk solids (e.g. 7 percent versus 12 percent), while nevertheless obtaining essentially equivalent results in terms of culture growth and final culture properties. A method of producing the media is also disclosed, involving liquid pre- blending of phosphates and lecithin, followed by addition thereof to milk-derived nutrients and reaction of the phosphates to tie up free calcium ion. The final step involves drying of the mix- ture to yield a substantially homogeneous, recon- stitutable powder. In other cases the phosphate- lecithin preblend can be dried for later addition to milk-derived nutrients to produce a final starter medium.
