P. Buzzini et S. Haznedari, CHARACTERIZATION OF YEASTS FROM FERMENTED SAUSAGES PRODUCED IN UMBRIA(ITALY) AND PRELIMINARY EVALUATION OF THEIR PROTEOLYTIC AND LIPOLYTIC-ACTIVITY, Industrie alimentari, 34(338), 1995, pp. 620-625
116 strains of yeasts isolated from 15 kinds of Fermented sausages pro
duced in 4 plants located in Umbria (Italy) were identified as belongi
ng to the Following genera: Debaryomyces (62.1%), Candida (18.1%), Rho
dotorula (12.9%), Zygosaccharomyces (4.3%) and Trichosporon (2.6%). A
preliminary evaluation of the lipolytic and proteolytic activity of th
e isolates was also made. Significantly higher levels of proteolysis a
nd lipolysis were exhibited by Trichosporon and Rhodotorula sop. strai
ns, respectively.
