The Dairy Leuconostoc: Use in Dairy Products

E. R. Vedamuthu 1

1 Quest International, Sarasota. FL 34243

Leuconostocs are a relatively inert group of bacteria found on plants that gain entrance into milk via plant material in the dairy environs. In milk, leuconostocs grow associatively with lactococci, produce important flavor compounds, and play a significant part in developing aroma and flavor in various cultured dairy products including certain varieties of cheeses. The role of leuconostocs in various dairy applications and the factors that govern their significant functions are discussed in this review.

Key Words: Leuconostoc • dairy products • flavor
