Improvement of Dairy Farms Management of Appenino Campano Area Producing Milk: “Nobilat”

The aims of the present study were: (i) to explore the microbial community of biofilms collected from 11 different Tinas of Hyblean area of Sicily and of milk samples both inoculated and incubated with biofilm; (ii) to identify the VOCs generated in the incubated milk samples; and (iii) to correlate the VOCs formation with the detection f LAB species.
Tina wooden vat biofilm: A safe and highly efficient lactic acid bacteria delivering

The objectives of this work were to further describe the Tina biofilm composition and organisation, to assess its safety by systematic pathogen enumerations,to question its way of cleaning and maintenance and to quantify, using microfiltrated milk, the release of microflora, in particular lactic acid bacteria, from Tina.
