Cheese: Chemistry, Physics and Microbiology, Fifth Edition provides a comprehensive overview of the chemical, biochemical, microbiological, and physico-chemical aspects of cheese, taking the reader from the rennet and acid coagulation of milk to the role of cheese and related foods in addressing public health issues. This updated revision, the most comprehensive work on the science of cheese, addresses the basic definition of cheese, along with the diverse factors that affect its quality. Understanding these fermented milk-based food products is vital to a global audience.

Divided in two volumes, this book contains by far the most comprehensive coverage of the scientific aspects of this important dairy product, covering all aspects of cheese manufacture and ripening from the standpoint of basic science (vol 1). In addition, coverage is included of all major families of cheese (vol 2).

Prof Cotter is a molecular microbiologist, with a particular focus on the microbiology of foods (especially fermented foods), the food chain and of humans, as well as probiotics, postbiotics and bacteriocins. This research has been funded through Irish funding agencies, the European Union and a wide range of industry collaborations. Prof Cotter is the author of >400 peer-reviewed in highly impacting journals such as Cell, Nature, Nature Foods, Nature Aging, Nature Medicine, Nature Reviews Microbiology, Nature Reviews Gastroenterology & Hepatology, was included in the Clarivate list of highly cited researchers for 2018-2023, received an honorary doctorate from the University of Antwerp in 2024 and is the Field Chief Editor of Frontiers in Microbiology.

Dr. Everett is a Principal Investigator at the Riddet Institute and an adjunct Professor at Massey University in New Zealand. He is originally from Australia and completed his PhD in Food Science at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. His academic career includes a post-doctoral fellowship at the University of Guelph, Canada, and a food science faculty member at the Victoria College of Agriculture and Horticulture at the University of Melbourne in Australia and the University of Otago in New Zealand. More recently he was the holder of the Leprino Foods Endowed Professorship at California State University–San Luis Obispo where he also directed the Dairy Innovation Institute research center. He has worked on dairy industry projects at a federal government research center in Australia (CSIRO) to help develop a technology to manufacture hard cheese from ultrafiltered milk, and at a dairy industry-funded company as a science liaison manager to bring together publicly-funded researchers with the dairy industry to solve technical problems. His current research is on the impact of dairy food structure on digestibility and in vitro nutritional bioaccessibility.

Dr. Rani Govindasamy-Lucey is a Distinguished Scientist in the Center for Dairy Research (CDR), University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA. She graduated with a BS degree in Biochemistry (Hons) in 1989 and a PhD in Biochemistry in 1996 from the National University of Singapore. She worked from 1995-1999 as a food scientist at the Crop and Food Research Institute (New Zealand) and then later as a post-doctoral fellow with Massey University and jointly with the New Zealand Dairy Research Institute. She joined the CDR in 1999 where she has worked for the past 25 years as a scientist. She leads the research group within the CDR, as well as the sensory and analytical programs. She also oversees industry research projects and has mentored numerous graduate students. She was chair of the organizing committee for the 2012 IDF Cheese Ripening and Technology conference held in Madison, she was given the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS) research award in 2017 and the 2024 International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA) research award in dairy foods processing by the American Dairy Science Association (ADSA). She is also currently a director of ADSA. She has published extensively on topics like cheese yield, the use of membrane filtration for cheesemaking and the functionality and textural properties of cheese. She is currently working on cheese snacks and extending the shelf-life of various types of cheeses. She also enjoys working with the many companies that come to CDR for assistance and she coordinates the advanced cheesemaking short courses at the CDR.
