Abstract EN
This work was performed to study the microbiota of raw goat’s milk (67 samples) collected in different areas of Sardinia, in order to select autochthonous lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains for use in goat cheese manufacturing.
Total mesophilic bacteria ranged between 105 and 107 cfu/mL; mean counts of Enterobacteriaceae did not exceed 4 log cfu/mL whereas those of E.
coli and coagulase-positive staphylococci were lower than 1.5 and 2 log ufc /ml, respectively.
Neither Salmonella spp.
nor Listeria monocytogenes were recovered.
The numbers of total LAB were in the range from 104 to 107 cfu/mL and mean yeasts counts varied between 103 and 105 cfu/mL.
The most frequently isolated LAB species were Lactococcus lactis subsp.
lactis and Lactobacillus paracasei.
The presence of Enterococcus faecium was also noteworthy.
The in vitro study of some functional characteristics related to technological properties of the strains belonging to these species allowed to point out some strains possessing good potential for use as adjunct or starter cultures in the production of cheese.
