The aim of this study was to investigate the quality of fermented goat milk and cow milk, as well as the viability of LAB in the same products. Fermentations were performed with pasteurized goat milk or cow milk added with skim milk (18% of solids) using three separately different starters; yoghurt starter (a combination of Streptococcus thermophilus FNCC-0040 and Lactobacillus bulgaricus FNCC-0041), single starter of Lactobacillus acidophilus FNCC-0029 and Lactobacillus casei FNCC-0051. The parameters observed were pH, acidity, nutritional quality including protein, fat and lactose content and product's viscosity. Acidity, pH and viability of LAB were also monitored during storage at refrigerated temperature (4 ℃) for 28 days. Results show that the different LAB starters did not affect the pH, acidity, lactose and protein content. Differences on LAB starters affected fat content and viscosity. The highest score of viscosity (30.00 Pa.s ± 7.02 Pa.s) was observed on products fermented by yoghurt starters, followed by products obtained using starter of L. acidophilus (17.7 ±11.4) and L. casei (8.62 ±0.35). Protein content, acidity, pH and viscosity were not significantly different between products obtained from goat milk and cow milk. Fat content in fermented goat milk was higher (5.03% ±0.62%) than in fermented cow milk (3.52% ±0.37%), however, lactose content was higher in fermented cow milk (5.16% ±0.40%) than in fermented goat milk (4.53% ±0.35%). Total LAB concentration in fermented cow milk during storage was 8.03± 0.52 logt0 cfu/mL, while in fermented goat milk was 7.81 loglo cfu/mL ± 0.67 loglo cfu/mL. There was a 10.83% decrease in LAB viability in fermented cow milk and 11.40% in fermented goat milk after 28 days of storage. In conclusion, quality of fermented milk is affected by the starters applied, raw milk source and storage period.展开更多

Streptococcus thermophilus (UNSE314), Lactobacillus (L.) delbrueckii subsp, bulgaricus (UNSE309), L. rhamnosus (UNSE308), L. plantarum (UNSE287, UNSE316, UNSE317) and Pediococcus pentosaceus (UNSE315) strains presented high acidifying activity. All strains tested metabolized citrate and produced diacetyl-acetoin in goat milk. Based on these results, 10 strains with the best performance in diverse technological properties were selected to determine esterolytic activity. In all evaluated strains, esterase specific activity (ESA) was detected on ct-naphthyl (ct-NA) acetate and 13-naphthyl ([3-NA) acetate, propionate, eaprylate and ct-NA butyrate. No activity was detected on [3-NA laurate. The highest values were detected when using a-NA instead of fI-NA derivatives as substrate. In Pediocoecus strains, wide variability in ESA were observed, which were species- and strain-specific. These results allow us to select strains with biochemical properties and esterase activities to design starter and adjunct cultures that contribute to flavor development during cheese ripening, thus preserving the typical organoleptic characteristics of Argentinean goat cheeses.展开更多
