Abstract

A total of 65 yeast cultures were isolated from quarg and its products, from the air of the production facilities and from rinses of equipment. The yeast isolates were identified and their proportion was determined. Of these isolates, 8 species were identified in the rinses of equipment, 2 from the air of the production facilities, and 9 from the final product, i.e., quarg and quarg products. Four species of the yeasts isolated from quarg, namely Debaryomyces hansenii, Trichosporon cutaneum, Kluyveromyces marxianus var. marxianus and Candida zeylanoides were also present in the rinses of equipment. Debaryomyces hansenii and Trichosporon cutaneum were the predominant species both in the rinses of equipment and in the final product.
