    Abstract:
    Artisanal products support the conservation of the indigenous biodiversity of food microbiomes, although they do not always comply to quality and hygienic requirements for the dairy industry. This study describes the development of an autochthonous starter culture to produce Matsoni, a traditional Georgian fermented milk. To this end, strains of lactic acid bacteria isolated from artisanal Matsoni samples were used to design a starter formulation reproducing the dominant microbial diversity, also preserving quality characteristics and ensuring the safety of the product. As a result, strains that represent the acidifying portion of the starter (Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. lactis, L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus) were combined in different ratios and strain combinations, together with cultures of Lactobacillus rhamnosus that were chosen for their potential beneficial traits. The strain association acting better in milk cultures at laboratory scale was selected as starter culture for the production of Matsoni in pilot-scale industrial trials.
