Abstract
Introduction The cheese microbiota is very complex and is made up of technologically-relevant, spoilage, opportunistic and pathogenic microorganisms. Among them lactic acid bacteria and yeasts are the main ones. One of the most interesting dairy yeasts is Kluyveromyces marxianus because of its technological properties including the ability to produce aroma compounds. Methods This study investigated the contribution of Kluyveromyces marxianus to the gross composition and aroma profile of cow cheeses. Experimental cheeses were prepared by inoculating a co-culture of K. marxianus FM09 and a commercial strain of Lacticaseibacillus casei and compared with cheeses obtained with only L. casei. The gross composition was determined by a FoodScan™ 2 Dairy Analyser, and free amino acids were evaluated at 507 nm after reaction with Cd-ninhydrin. The volatile organic compounds were extracted by head-space solid phase micro-extraction and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry coupled with odor activity values. qRT-PCR was applied to determine the expression of genes involved in esters synthesis and degradation. Results The inoculation of K. marxianus induced an increase of pH and a reduction of protein content of cheeses, in agreement with the stronger proteolysis detected in these cheeses. K. marxianus influenced the content of aroma compounds both quantitatively and qualitatively. In particular, an increase of higher alcohols, esters and organic acids was observed. Moreover, 12 compounds were detected only in cheeses obtained with the co-culture. These differences were in agreement with the odor activity values (OAV). In fact, only 11 compounds showed OAV > 1 in cheeses obtained with the commercial strain, and 24 in those obtained with the co-culture. The qPCR analysis revealed an over expression of ATF1, EAT1, and IAH1 genes. Conclusion Kluyveromyces marxianus could act as an important auxiliary starter for cheese production through the development and diversification of compounds related to flavor in short-aged cow cheeses.

Abstract
Contamination of white-brined cheeses (WBCs) with yeasts is of major concern in the dairy industry. This study aimed to identify yeast contaminants and characterize their succession in white-brined cheese during a shelf-life of 52 weeks. White-brined cheeses added herbs (WBC1) or sundried tomatoes (WBC2) were produced at a Danish dairy and incubated at 5 °C and 10 °C. An increase in yeast counts was observed for both products within the first 12-14 weeks of incubation and stabilized afterwards varying in a range of 4.19-7.08 log CFU/g. Interestingly, higher incubation temperature, especially in WBC2, led to lower yeast counts, concurrently with higher diversity of yeast species. Observed decrease in yeast counts was, most likely, due to negative interactions between yeast species leading to growth inhibition. In total, 469 yeast isolates from WBC1 and WBC2 were genotypically classified using the (GTG)5-rep-PCR technique. Out of them, 132 representative isolates were further identified by sequencing the D1/D2 domain of the 26 S rRNA gene. Predominant yeast species in WBCs were Candida zeylanoides and Debaryomyces hansenii, while Candida parapsilosis, Kazachstania bulderi, Kluyveromyces lactis, Pichia fermentans, Pichia kudriavzevii, Rhodotorula mucilaginosa, Torulaspora delbrueckii, and Wickerhamomyces anomalus were found in lower frequency. Heterogeneity of yeast species in WBC2 was generally larger compared to WBC1. This study indicated that, along with contamination levels, taxonomic heterogeneity of yeasts is an important factor influencing yeast cell counts, as well as product quality during storage.

Abstract
The main objective of this research was to evaluate the development of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and the accumulation of biogenic amines (BAs) in relation to the dynamic of microbial population composition in fresh and ripened cheese produced from raw milk of ewes fed a diet containing grape pomace (GP+) and fed a standard diet (Ctrl). Genomic DNA was extracted from the cheeses at 2 (T2), 60 (T60), 90 (T90) and 120 (T120) days of ripening and prepared for 16S rRNA-gene sequencing to characterize the cheese microbiota; furthermore, VOCs were determined via solid-phase microextraction combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and biogenic amines by HPLC analyses. Diet did not affect the relative abundance of the main phyla identified, Proteobacteria characterized T2 samples, but the scenario changed during the ripening. At genus level, Pseudomonas, Chryseobacterium and Acinetobacter were the dominant taxa, however, a lower percentage of Pseudomonas was detected in GP+ cheeses. Enterococcus became dominant in ripened cheeses followed in Ctrl cheeses by Lactobacillus and in GP+ cheeses by Lactococcus. The diet affected the development of carboxylic acids and ketones but not of aldehydes. Low levels of esters were identified in all the samples. In total, four biogenic amines were determined in cheeses samples and their levels differed between the two groups and during ripening time. In 60, T90 and T120 GP+ cheeses, a lower amount of 2-phenylethylamine was found compared to Ctrl. Putrescine was detected only in GP+ samples and reached the highest level at 120 days. Conversely, the amount of cadaverine in GP+ samples was invariable during the ripening. The concentration of tyramine in GP+ samples was compared to Ctrl during the ripening. Overall, significant positive correlations between some families of bacteria and the formation of VOCs and BAs were found.

Abstract
Chinese fermented sausage is a famous fermented meat product with a complex microbiota that has a potential impact on flavor and quality. In this study, Lactobacillus plantarum MSZ2 and Staphylococcus xylosus YCC3 were used as starter cultures to investigate the change in bacterial diversity, metabolic pathways, and flavor compounds during the ripening process of fermented sausages. High-throughput sequencing technology and headspace solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC/MS) were applied for characterizing the profiles of bacterial diversity, metabolic pathways, and flavor compounds in sausage samples on days 0, 6, and 12 during ripening. Results showed that Lactobacillus, Staphylococcus, Lactococcus, Leuconostoc, and Weissella were the most abundant bacterial genera found in the sausage samples during all stages of fermentation. Functional prediction reveals the abundance of 12 different metabolic pathways, the most important pathways are carbohydrate metabolism, nucleotide metabolism, lipid metabolism, and amino acid metabolism. A total of 63 volatile compounds were successfully identified in fermented sausage samples. Correlational analysis demonstrated that Staphylococcus and Leuconostoc were closely related to the formation of flavor compounds. Therefore, the present study may provide guidance for future use of microbiota to improve flavor, quality, and preservation of fermented sausages.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to reveal the sites of yeast contamination in dairy production and perform taxonomic characterization of potential yeast spoilers in cheese making. Occurrence of spoilage yeasts was followed throughout the manufacture of white-brined cheese at a Danish dairy, including the areas of milk pasteurization, curd processing, and packaging (26 sites in total). Spoilage yeasts were isolated from whey, old cheese curd, and air samples in viable counts of 1.48–6.27 log CFU/mL, 5.44 log CFU/g, and 1.02 log CFU/m3, respectively. Yeast isolates were genotypically classified using (GTG)5-PCR fingerprinting and identified by sequencing of the D1/D2 region of the 26S rRNA gene. The largest yeast heterogeneity was found in old curd collected under the turning machine of molds, where 11 different yeast species were identified. The most frequently isolated yeast species were Candida intermedia, Kluyveromyces marxianus, and Pichia kudriavzevii. The less abundant yeast species included Candida auris, Candida parapsilosis, Candida pseudoglaebosa, Candida sojae, Cutaneotrichosporon curvatus, Cutaneotrichosporon moniliiforme, Papiliotrema flavescens, Rhodotorula mucilaginosa, Vanrija humicola, and Wickerhamiella sorbophila. The awareness on occurrence and taxonomy of spoilage yeasts in cheese production will contribute to a knowledge-based control of contaminating yeasts and quality management of cheese at the dairies.

Deciphering the Microbiota and Volatile Profiles of Algerian Smen, a Traditional Fermented Butter. Microorganisms 2022; 10:microorganisms10040736.

Abstract
In Algeria, Smen is a fermented butter produced in households using empirical methods. Smen fermentation is driven by autochthonous microorganisms; it improves butter shelf-life and yields highly fragrant products used as ingredients in traditional dishes as well as in traditional medicine. The present study is aimed at investigating microbial diversity and dynamics during Algerian Smen fermentation using both culture-dependent and culture-independent approaches, as well as by monitoring volatile organic compound production. To reach this goal, fifteen Smen samples (final products) produced in households from different regions in Algeria were collected and analyzed. In addition, microbial and volatile compound dynamics at the different stages of Smen manufacturing were investigated for one Smen preparation. The results showed that Smen is a microbiologically safe product, as all hygiene and safety criteria were respected. The dominant microorganisms identified by both techniques were LAB and yeasts. Lactococcus spp. and Streptococcus thermophilus were the main bacterial species involved in spontaneous raw milk fermentation preceding butter-making, while lactobacilli and enterococci were the only bacteria found to be viable during Smen maturation. Regarding fungal diversity, yeast species were only recovered from two mature Smen samples by culturing, while different species (e.g., Geotrichum candidum, Moniliella sp.) were identified in all samples by the culture-independent approach. Using microbial analysis of a single batch, many of these were found viable during manufacturing. Concerning the volatile profiles, they were highly diverse and characterized by a high prevalence of short chain fatty acids, methylketones, and esters. Correlation analysis between microbial diversity and volatile profiles showed that several yeast (Moniliella sp., K. marxianus) and LAB (e.g., Lactococcus spp., S. thermophilus) species were strongly correlated with one or more volatile organic compound families, including several ethyl esters and methyl ketones that can be linked to pleasant, sweetly floral, fruity, buttery, and creamy odors. This study clearly identified key microorganisms involved in Smen fermentation and maturation that could be used in the future for better fermentation control and improvement of quality attributes.

Abstract
Mixed fermentation improves the flavor quality of food. Untargeted metabolomics were used to evaluate the impact of mixed fermentation and single-strain fermentation on the volatile and non-volatile compound profiles of Kazak cheese. Lacticaseibacillus paracasei SMN-LBK and Kluyveromyces marxianus SMN-S7-LBK were used to make mixed-fermentation cheese (M), while L. paracasei SMN-LBK was applied in single-strain-fermentation cheese (S). A higher abundances of acids, alcohols, and esters were produced via mixed fermentation. Furthermore, 397 differentially expressed non-volatile metabolites were identified between S and M during ripening. The flavor compounds in mixed-fermentation cheese mainly resulted from ester production (ethyl butanoate, ethyl acetate, ethyl octanoate, and ethyl hexanoate) and amino acid biosynthesis (Asp, Glu, Gln, and Phe). The metabolites were differentially expressed in nitrogen metabolism, D-glutamine and D-glutamate metabolism, phenylalanine metabolism, D-alanine metabolism, and other metabolic pathways. The amount of flavor compounds was increased in M, indicating that L. paracasei SMN- LBK and K. marxianus SMN-S7-LBK had synergistic effects in the formation of flavor compounds. This study comprehensively demonstrated the difference in metabolites between mixed-fermentation and single-strain-fermentation cheese and provided a basis for the production of Kazak cheese with diverse flavor characteristics.

Abstract
Cheese has a long history and this naturally fermented dairy product contains a range of distinctive flavors. Microorganisms in variety cheeses are an essential component and play important roles during both cheese production and ripening. However, cheeses from different countries are still handmade, the processing technology is diverse, the microbial community structure is complex and the cheese flavor fluctuates greatly. Therefore, studying the general processing technology and relationship between microbial structure and flavor formation in cheese is the key to solving the unstable quality and standardized production of cheese flavor on basis of maintaining the flavor of cheese. This paper reviews the research progress on the general processing technology and key control points of natural cheese, the biochemical pathways for production of flavor compounds in cheeses, the diversity and the role of yeasts in cheese. Combined with the development of modern detection technology, the evolution of microbial structure, population evolution and flavor correlation in cheese from different countries was analyzed, which is of great significance for the search for core functional yeast microorganisms and the industrialization prospect of traditional fermented cheese.

Abstract
The aim of the present study is the evaluation of a novel potentially probiotic Lactobacillus paracasei SP5, previously isolated from dairy products, as a starter culture of white brined cheese production, either free or immobilized on a traditional food, “trahanas”, in order to provide protection to the starter culture and a prebiotic effect. All produced cheeses were compared with cheese manufactured by renin enzyme. Several parameters that affect the acceptability, quality, and shelf life of white brined cheese were investigated, including microbial populations, physicochemical characteristics, and cheese volatiles through 70 days of ripening and storage. White brined cheese production by free or immobilized L. paracasei SP5 resulted in significantly higher acidity (over 0.8 g of lactic acid/100 g of cheese at the 70th day of ripening) and significantly reduced counts (around 50%) of coliforms, yeasts, and fungi compared to cheese produced with no starter culture. The use of the freeze-dried novel starter culture, either free or immobilized, improved the aromatic profile of cheeses as was proven through a GC-MS analysis. In addition, it should be underlined that the application of the novel strain led to white brined cheese with improved overall quality and sensory characteristics. The results indicate the potential industrial use of freeze-dried L. paracasei SP5 as a starter culture for the production of good-quality functional white brined cheeses.

[PMID: 34399514 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2021.110537] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2021] [Revised: 06/09/2021] [Accepted: 06/14/2021] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
The production of ovine or caprine milk cheeses with thistle rennet is a common practice in the Mediterranean basin. The aim of the present study was to obtain information on bacteria and yeast communities harboured by Queijo de Azeitão PDO cheese through viable counting and, for the first time, via metataxonomic analysis. Moreover, solid phase microextraction (SPME) technique was applied to characterize Queijo de Azeitão PDO cheese volatile compounds. Nine cheese samples were collected from three different artisan producers located in Portugal. The results of physico-chemical analyses showed significant differences between producers, with mean values ranging from 5.40 ± 0.25 (Producer 1) to 6.00 ± 0.22 (Producer 2). As for TTA, Producer 1 showed the highest mean value attesting at 18.04 ± 6.57 mL of 0.1 M NaOH used to reach pH 8.3. Regarding lactic acid concentration, Producer 1 showed the highest mean value attesting at 0.488 ± 0.106 g 100 g-1, whereas, for acetic acid, no significant differences were evidenced among producers with values comprised between 0.141 ± 0.021 g 100 g-1 and 0.245 ± 0.016 g 100 g-1. No significant differences were observed between overall mean values of the three producers for viable counts of presumptive lactococci, thermophilic cocci, presumptive lactobacilli, thermophilic lactobacilli and total mesophilic aerobes with values in the order of 7-8 log cfu g-1. Moreover, no significant differences were evidenced for viable counts of coagulase-negative cocci, enterococci, Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonadaceae. As for eumycetes, cheeses from Producer 1 showed the lowest mean value (2.78 ± 2.42 log cfu g-1) in respect with values detected in cheeses from Producer 2 and 3. Concerning microbiota and mycobiota of the analyzed cheeses, the alpha diversity index did not show any significant difference between the three producers in terms of composition and complexity of the microbial population. A simple composition was apparently shared by the three producers, whose cheese manufactures were dominated by the presence of Leuconostoc mesenteroides (37% of the relative frequency in average), Lactococcus lactis (29%), Lacticaseibacillus zeae (4.7%), Lentilactobacillus kefiri (4.4%), Serratia spp. (3.5%), Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (2.7%), and Latilactobacillus sakei (2.5%). The mycobiota composition showed the neat dominance of Yarrowia lipolytica (46.7% of the relative frequency in average), followed by Candida ethanolica (13.6%), Kurtzmaniella zeylanoides (9.4%), Geotrichum candidum (8.8%), Galactomyces geotrichum (8.7%), Kluyveromyces lactis (3.5%), and Geotrichum silvicola (2.7%). The volatile profile analysis allowed 24 different compounds to be identified: 7 acids, 7 esters, 4 alcohols, 3 ketones, 2 aromatic hydrocarbons, and 1 aldehyde. The most represented volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were 2-butanone, butanoic acid and hexanoic acid. A positive correlation between Len. kefiri and hexanoic acid and isopentyl isobutyrate was observed (P < 0.05), whereas Y. lipolytica displayed the highest number of positive correlations with 3-methyl-butanal, 2-pentanone and 2-pentanol (P < 0.05). To the authors' knowledge, this is the very first detection of Len. kefiri in a raw ewe's milk cheese coagulated with vegetable rennet.

Debaryomyces hansenii Strains Isolated From Danish Cheese Brines Act as Biocontrol Agents to Inhibit Germination and Growth of Contaminating Molds. Front Microbiol 2021; 12:662785. [PMID: 34211441 PMCID: PMC8239395 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2021.662785] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2021] [Accepted: 05/20/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
The antagonistic activities of native Debaryomyces hansenii strains isolated from Danish cheese brines were evaluated against contaminating molds in the dairy industry. Determination of chromosome polymorphism by use of pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) revealed a huge genetic heterogeneity among the D. hansenii strains, which was reflected in intra-species variation at the phenotypic level. 11 D. hansenii strains were tested for their ability to inhibit germination and growth of contaminating molds, frequently occurring at Danish dairies, i.e., Cladosporium inversicolor, Cladosporium sinuosum, Fusarium avenaceum, Mucor racemosus, and Penicillium roqueforti. Especially the germination of C. inversicolor and P. roqueforti was significantly inhibited by cell-free supernatants of all D. hansenii strains. The underlying factors behind the inhibitory effects of the D. hansenii cell-free supernatants were investigated. Based on dynamic headspace sampling followed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (DHS-GC-MS), 71 volatile compounds (VOCs) produced by the D. hansenii strains were identified, including 6 acids, 22 alcohols, 15 aldehydes, 3 benzene derivatives, 8 esters, 3 heterocyclic compounds, 12 ketones, and 2 phenols. Among the 71 identified VOCs, inhibition of germination of C. inversicolor correlated strongly with three VOCs, i.e., 3-methylbutanoic acid, 2-pentanone as well as acetic acid. For P. roqueforti, two VOCs correlated with inhibition of germination, i.e., acetone and 2-phenylethanol, of which the latter also correlated strongly with inhibition of mycelium growth. Low half-maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC50) were especially observed for 3-methylbutanoic acid, i.e., 6.32-9.53 × 10-5 and 2.00-2.67 × 10-4 mol/L for C. inversicolor and P. roqueforti, respectively. For 2-phenylethanol, a well-known quorum sensing molecule, the IC50 was 1.99-7.49 × 10-3 and 1.73-3.45 × 10-3 mol/L for C. inversicolor and P. roqueforti, respectively. For acetic acid, the IC50 was 1.35-2.47 × 10-3 and 1.19-2.80 × 10-3 mol/L for C. inversicolor and P. roqueforti, respectively. Finally, relative weak inhibition was observed for 2-pentanone and acetone. The current study shows that native strains of D. hansenii isolated from Danish brines have antagonistic effects against specific contaminating molds and points to the development of D. hansenii strains as bioprotective cultures, targeting cheese brines and cheese surfaces.

Abstract
AIMS The purpose of this experiment was to study the bacterial diversity of traditional fermented sausages from four typical regions of China (Chengdu, Shenzhen, Changsha and Harbin) and to further evaluate their microbiological safety. METHODS AND RESULTS The diversity of the microbiota of the sausages was studied using the Illumina HiSeq platform. The results showed that compared with the highest diversity of fermented bacteria in Guangdong, the bacterial diversity of fermented sausage was the lowest in Sichuan. The percentage of dominant phylum (Firmicutes, Cyanophyta, Proteobacter) were 78·39, 13·13 and 7·14% in SC, 35·47, 30·36 and 28·04% in GD, 54·81, 28·91 and 14·00% in HN, 20·20, 58·16 and 17·31% in HB respectively. The main genus distribution of fermented sausages in different regions is varied, but lactic acid bacteria and cyanobacteria are generally the main ones. Traditional fermented sausages using natural fermentation methods have poor microbiological safety, and pathogenic and spoilage micro-organisms such as Acinetobacter, Brochothrix and Pseudomonas have been detected in all four regions. CONCLUSIONS The results in this paper provide a microbiota profile of four typical fermented sausages in China. There is a big difference in the microbiota of sausages in different regions, and the good flavour of traditional Chinese fermented sausage is related closely with the abundant microbial resources, however, the natural fermentation method also expose to the product security threats, including spoilage, pathogenic micro-organisms and biogenic amines, etc. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The results would offer guidance for industrial fermented sausage production with certain flavour and also improve the microbial resource utilization, and contribute to the control of harmful micro-organisms in traditional fermented sausage.

Abstract
Yeasts are always present in any type of cheese, as well as in the factories where it is produced. However, the role of the yeast community in the cheese making process, as well as the routes of contamination used by yeast species to contaminate milk from the dairy farm environment, are not well known. The objectives of this study were to broaden the knowledge of the dominant yeast community in Manchega sheep's milk and to assess the contamination routes of the yeast species depending on the farm practices. Milk, teat surface (collected from ten ewes per farm), feed, and air (collected in milking parlours and livestock housing) samples were collected from 12 typical farms in Castilla-La Mancha, Spain with differences in farming practices, and the yeast species were identified using DNA sequencing methods. To evaluate whether certain farming practices have an effect on the distribution of species of yeast in the milk samples, a mixed model was used. The results showed that most of the dominant yeast species (mainly belonging to the genus Candida) found in milk were also found in the other samples, indicating a microbial transfer from the farm environment to the milk. Furthermore, the statistical model showed that factors influencing yeast counts in milk were the presence of yeasts in the milking parlour, the use of silage, and the frequency of acid treatment for cleaning the milking machines. In conclusion, milk contamination from the yeast species present in the dairy farm environment is related to certain farming practices such as the use of silage and the daily use of acid in the cleaning of the milking machines, which favours the presence of desirable microbiota in milk.

Abstract
The presence of antibiotics in milk destined for cheese production may affect the biological processes responsible for the formation of volatile compounds, leading to alterations in the characteristic cheese flavor expected by consumers. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the presence of oxytetracycline in goat milk on the volatile profile of ripened cheeses. Traditional mature Tronchón cheeses were manufactured from raw goat milk spiked with different concentrations of oxytetracycline (50, 100, and 200 µg/kg). Cheese made from antibiotic-free goat milk was used as control. We analyzed the residual amounts of the antibiotic and the volatile profile of the experimental cheeses on a fortnightly basis during maturation using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry and then solid-phase microextraction followed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Our results suggested that oxytetracycline was widely transferred from milk to cheese: drug concentrations in the cheeses were 3.5 to 4.3 times higher than those in raw milk. Although the residual amounts of oxytetracycline significantly decreased during maturation (88.8 to 96.5%), variable amounts of residues remained in cheese matured for 60 d (<10 to 79 µg/kg). In general, the presence of oxytetracycline in goat milk did not affect the volatile profile of Tronchón cheeses; volatile profile was significantly modified by ripening time. Still, the presence of oxytetracycline residues in cheeses ripened for 60 d could be of great concern for public health.

Abstract
Yeasts are eukaryotic microorganisms which have a long history in the biotechnology of food production, as they have been used since centuries in bread-making or in the production of alcoholic beverages such as wines or beers. Relative to this importance, a lot of research has been devoted to the study of yeasts involved in making these important products. The role of yeasts in other fermentations in association with other microorganisms - mainly lactic acid bacteria - has been relatively less studied, and often it is not clear if yeasts occurring in such fermentations are contaminants with no role in the fermentation, spoilage microorganisms or whether they actually serve a technological or functional purpose. Some knowledge is available for yeasts used as starter cultures in fermented raw sausages or in the production of acid curd cheeses. This review aimed to summarize the current knowledge on the taxonomy, the presence and potential functional or technological roles of yeasts in traditional fermented plant, dairy, fish and meat fermentations.

Abstract
The demand for new probiotic products has shown recent increases alongside a growing interest in studying starter cultures of cheeses. This study thus aims to evaluate the ability to survive under simulated gastrointestinal conditions and impact of Torulaspora delbrueckii B14 and Kluyveromyces lactis B10 as single and mixed inocula for cheese production. These two yeast strains were subjected to simulated gastrointestinal tracts and tested for self-aggregation, hydrophobicity, pathogen inhibition, antibiotic resistance, and β-galactosidase production. The yeast strains were also assessed for their ability to survive in different NaCl concentrations (2.5%, 5%, and 10% w/v), multiple temperatures (4 °C and 40 °C), and used as single and mixed starter cultures for cheese production. Yeasts population levels were monitored by YPD plating and MALDI-TOF and metabolites were analyzed by HPLC and GC-MS over the course of the 21 days cheese maturation process. T. delbrueckii B14 and K. lactis B10 both showed >80% viability after the passage through the simulated gastrointestinal tract, had self-aggregation rates >90%, and displayed β-galactosidase activities of 0.35 U/g and 0.53 U/g, respectively. Both yeasts survived at 2.5%, 5%, and 10% NaCl for 21 days and showed growth at 4 °C. In cheese, the single inoculum of K. lactis B10 and mixed inoculum showed the highest levels of lactose consumption. HS-SPME GC-MS analysis of cheese samples allowed the identification of 38 volatile compounds. The highest concentrations of most of these compounds were observed after 21 days of maturation for the cheese produced with mixed inoculum. The most abundant acids detected were hexanoic and decanoic acid; the most abundant alcohols were 2,3-butanediol, 2-phenylethanol and isoamyl alcohol, and the most prevalent ester compounds were isoamyl acetate and phenethyl acetate. Our results therefore show that T. delbrueckii B14 and K. lactis B10 are interesting yeasts for further studies in the context of probiotics and positively impact the composition of desirable volatile compounds in cheeses, particularly when used as mixed inoculum.

Abstract
Numerous traditionally aged cheeses are surface ripened and develop a biofilm, known as the cheese rind, on their surfaces. The rind of such cheeses comprises a complex community of bacterial and fungal species that are jointly responsible for the typical characteristics of the various cheese varieties. Surface ripening starts directly after brining with the rapid colonization of the cheese surface by yeasts. The initially dominant yeasts are acid and salt-tolerant and are capable of metabolizing the lactate produced by the starter lactic acid bacteria and of producing NH3 from amino acids. Both processes cause the pH of the cheese surface to rise dramatically. This so-called deacidification process enables the establishment of a salt-tolerant, Gram-positive bacterial community that is less acid-tolerant. Over the past decade, knowledge of yeast diversity in cheeses has increased considerably. The yeast species with the highest prevalence on surface-ripened cheeses are Debaryomyces hansenii and Geotrichum candidum, but up to 30 species can be found. In the cheese core, only lactose-fermenting yeasts, such as Kluyveromyces marxianus, are expected to grow. Yeasts are recognized as having an indispensable impact on the development of cheese flavour and texture because of their deacidifying, proteolytic, and/or lipolytic activity. Yeasts are used not only in the production of surface-ripened cheeses but also as adjunct cultures in the vat milk in order to modify ripening behaviour and flavour of the cheese. However, yeasts may also be responsible for spoilage of cheese, causing early blowing, off-flavour, brown discolouration, and other visible alterations of cheese.

Moreover, several factors, such as physicochemical characteristics, storage temperature, culinary practices, and application of technologies for storage, also define the microbial population of foods and beverages. The yeast population has been well-characterised in fresh and processed fruit and vegetables, dairy products, dry-cured meat products, and beverages, among others. Some species are agents of alteration in different foods and beverages. Since the most comprehensive studies of spoilage yeasts have been performed in the winemaking process, hence, these studies form the thread of the discussion in this review. The natural yeast populations in raw ingredients and environmental contamination in the manufacturing facilities are the main modes by which food contamination occurs. After contamination, yeasts play a significant role in food and beverage spoilage, particularly in the alteration of fermented foods. Several mechanisms contribute to spoilage by yeasts, such as the production of lytic enzymes (lipases, proteases, and cellulases) and gas, utilisation of organic acids, discolouration, and off-flavours. This review addresses the role of yeasts in foods and beverages degradation by considering the modes of contamination and colonisation by yeasts, the yeast population diversity, mechanisms involved, and the analytical techniques for their identification, primarily molecular methods.

Dynamics and diversity of microbial community succession during fermentation of Suan yu, a Chinese traditional fermented fish, determined by high throughput sequencing.

[PMID: 30007719 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2018.05.076] [Citation(s) in RCA: 90] [Impact Index Per Article: 15.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2018] [Revised: 05/29/2018] [Accepted: 05/31/2018] [Indexed: 01/10/2023]
Abstract
The main goal of this study was to investigate the dynamics, diversity and succession of microbial community present during the preparation of Suan yu (fermented fish), with and without starter cultures by high-throughput sequencing of 16S rRNA and ITS1 genes. Firmicutes and Ascomycota were the predominant phyla of bacteria and fungi, respectively, in all samples. At the genus level, Lactobacillus, Macrococcus and Staphylococcus were the predominating bacteria throughout the fermentation process, regardless of the inclusion of starter cultures. Saccharomyces was the predominating fungal genus in the early-fermentation stage of samples that inoculated starter cultures (MS), while the final product was dominated by Candida and Wickerhamomyces. Compared with naturally-fermented samples (NS; no starter cultures), Lactococcus, Leuconostoc, Enterococcus, Vibrio, Fusicolla and Torulaspora were inhibited and Aureobasidium emerged in samples inoculated with starter cultures (P < .05). Unweighted pair-group and principal component analyses of bacterial and fungal compositions revealed that microbiota structures differed between NS and MS samples. Redundancy analysis indicated that water content and pH might be important factors influencing the dominant bacterial and fungal community. Results indicated that microbial community were dynamic during fermentation process and the inoculation of mixed starter culture inhibited the growth of many organisms associated with food spoilage and contributed to the improvement of the quality of Suan yu products.

Abstract
Cheese is a typical handcrafted fermented food in Kazak minority from the Uighur Autonomy Region in China and Central Asia. Among the microbial community that is responsible for Kazak cheese fermentation, yeasts play important role in flavor formation during ripening. To develop ripening cultures, we isolated 123 yeasts from 25 cheese products in Kazak, and identified 87 isolates by the D1/D2 domain of the large subunit rRNA gene sequence. Pichia kudriavzevii was the dominant yeast in Kazak cheese, followed by Kluyveromyces marxianus and Kluyveromyces lactis. Of these, the ability to exhibit enzyme of dominant isolates and contribution to the typical flavor of cheeses was assessed. Enzyme producing yeast strains were inoculated in Hazak cheese‐like medium and volatile compounds were identified by head space solid phase micro extraction coupled to gas chromatography and mass spectroscopy. Pichia kudriavzevii N‐X displayed the strongest extracellular proteolytic and activity on skim milk agar and produced a range of aroma compounds (ethanol, ethyl acetate, 3‐methylbutanol, and acetic acid) for Kazak cheese flavor, could be explored as ripening cultures in commercial production of Kazak cheeses.

Abstract
The artisanal cheese from Corrientes (from the Spanish acronym QAC-Queso Artesanal de Corrientes/Artisanal Cheese from Corrientes) is a soft cheese elaborated with raw cow milk and an artisanal coagulant agent. Lactic bacteria contitute the main flora of this cheese although yeasts are also present in high quantities as secondary microbiota and might play a relevant role in cheese ripening. The aim of this work was to evaluate yeast occurrence during QAC elaboration and ripening, and the effect of seasonal variation. Yeasts were isolated and purified from raw materials and cheese at different ripening stagesl elaborated during the different seasons. Yeast sample counts were in the order of 103 - 107UFC/ml o UFC/g. Ninety yeast strains were classified: 9 from milk, 28 from the coagulant agent, 10 from curd and 43 from cheese. Candida predominated in milk samples while other yeast genera had low incidence. Candida also predominated in the coagulant agent samples, followed by genera Myxozyma and Debaryomyces. The isolates obtained from cheese belonged to the same genera predominating in the coagulant agent, and showed the same order of prevalence.

Abstract
A total of 15 Debaryomyces hansenii strains from different food origins were genetically characterized and tested on a culture medium resembling the composition of fermented sausages but different concentrations of nitrifying preservatives. Genetic typing of the D. hansenii strains revealed two levels of discrimination: isolation source or strain specific. Different abilities to proliferate on culture media containing different concentrations of nitrate and nitrite, as sole nitrogen sources and in the presence of amino acids, were observed within D. hansenii strains. Overall metabolism of amino acids and generation of aroma compounds were related to the strain origin of isolation. The best producers of branched aldehydes and ethyl ester compounds were strains isolated from pork sausages. Strains from cheese and llama sausages were good producers of ester compounds and branched alcohols, while vegetable strains produced mainly acid compounds. Nitrate and nitrite reduction affected in different ways the production of volatiles by D. hansenii.

Abstract
Kluyveromyces marxianus is emerging as a new platform organism for the production of flavour and fragrance (F&F) compounds. This food-grade yeast has advantageous traits, such as thermotolerance and rapid growth, that make it attractive for cell factory applications. The major impediment to its development has been limited fundamental knowledge of its genetics and physiology, but this is rapidly changing. K. marxianus produces a wide array of volatile molecules and contributes to the flavour of a range of different fermented beverages. Advantage is now being taken of this to develop strains for the production of metabolites such as 2-phenylethanol and ethyl acetate. Strains that were selected from initial screens were used to optimize processes for production of these F&F molecules. Most developments have focused on optimizing growth conditions and the fermentation process, including product removal, with future advancement likely to involve development of new strains through the application of evolutionary or rational engineering strategies. This is being facilitated by new genomic and molecular tools. Furthermore, synthetic biology offers a route to introduce new biosynthetic pathways into this yeast for F&F production. Consumer demand for biologically-synthesized molecules for use in foods and other products creates an opportunity to exploit the unique potential of K. marxianus for this cell factory application.
