Growth patterns and some technological performances of five Streptococcus thermophilus and seven Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus strains isolated from yogurt samples which were collected from remote rural areas of Anatolia, Turkey were assessed. The single isolates were screened for milk acidification performances, production of volatile organic compounds and texture developing properties, and selected isolates were combined to use in yogurt-making. Yogurt samples were subjected to sensory evaluations as well as fermentation profiles. Finally, the combinations of one Streptococcus thermophilus isolate with all Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus strains were found to have potentials for further evaluations regarding their suitability for commercial applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
