Abstract


Countries of the Mediterranean area are characterized by production of artisanal cheeses, obtained from goat, sheep, cow and buffalo raw milk. The numbers and species of yeasts in the different cheeses are variable, but some species are more frequently detected than others. Kluyveromyces marxianus, K. lactis with their anamorph, Candida kefir, Debaryomyces hansenii and C. famata, C. colliculosa and C. catenulata are dominant species in several cheeses. However, Saccharomyces cerevisiae is often detected in pasta filata cheeses, such as Water Buffalo Mozzarella (WBM) or Cacio Cavallo Podolico. Recently, a comprehensive study of yeasts isolated from Mozzarella cheese produced in Basilicata (Southern Italy) has been carried out. The study has focused on lactose and/or galactose fermenting species (Kluyveromyces and Saccharomyces) to evaluate their role on the functional and sensory properties of the product. End products in milk were evaluated and the biodiversity in terms of production of sulphur dioxide, higher alcohols, ethyl acetate, and acetaldehyde was studied. In particular, S. cerevisiae strains from Water Buffalo Mozzarella cheese, compared to strains isolated from different habitats, such as wine, exhibited considerable difference in the production of some volatile compounds. The diversity observed could be related to the particular microhabitat of S. cerevisiae occurring in whey cheese of water buffalo milk.
