Aspergillus and Penicillium are added to cheese to give a special flavour but on the other hand they cause food poisoning a well....... but still we use the same moulds in our food......so my question is that do they not destroy the cheese in any manner?????

Dear Student,

Please find below the solution to the asked query:

Different species are used in the producing different types of cheese. The species that are used in cheese industry are different from the one that secretes toxins and have a role in food poisoning. These organisms are used to improve the taste of the cheese. Also, they prevent the colonisation of some other types of bacteria and moulds. It does not destroy the cheese.
