Abstract:

In this study, 96 strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were isolated from 22 home-made yak yogurt samples collected from Tianzhu pasture region of Gansu. Totally 12 strains of genetically stable lactic acid bacteria were obtained through preliminary selection based on genetic stability, coagulation time, titratable acidity, water-retention rate and sensory evaluation. Finally, 4 lactobacilli and 2 lactococci with excellent performance were selected through the evaluation of acidification ability acetaldehyde-producing ability, diacetyle-producing ability, protein degradation ability, number of living bacteria during cold storage and resistance to adverse environment.

Key words: lactic acid bacteria, isolation, screening
