A » Bacteria play a crucial role in cheese coloration by producing pigments and influencing the breakdown of proteins and fats, which can lead to distinctive hues. For example, certain bacteria in the cheese rind produce carotenoid pigments, giving some cheeses their characteristic orange or yellow color. Additionally, bacterial action during the aging process can enhance or alter the natural color of the cheese.
