Abstract :

The possibility of using of the essential oil of caraway (Carum carvi L.) in dairy products has been studied. The composition, antimicrobial properties and its effect on the microorganisms of starter cultures for dairy products has been studied. It was found that it exhibits antimicrobial activity, but does not inhibit the development of the lactic acid bacteria in dairy starter cultures. The essential oil of caraway is a suitable natural addition to dairy products.
