Abstract

In this study, 5 homemade cow yoghurt samples were collected from different regions of
Bulgaria for isolation and screening of lactic acid bacteria for proteolytic activity. Totally 6
strains were isolated and identified as Lactobacillus spp. based on their growth, Gram stain,
catalase and oxidase activity. The isolates were examined for their proteolytic activity. The
obtained results show that the strains possess most intense proteolytic activity to α -
lactalbumin. The results of the present study indicate that Bulgarian homemade yoghurts are
potential source of functional starter cultures for production of dairy products.
Key words: homemade yogurt, functional starter cultures, Lactobacillus spp., proteolytic activity
