Evaluation of the inhibitory activity of essential oils against spoilage yeasts and their potential application in yogurt.

Abstract:

:Yeasts are the leading cause of spoilage in yogurt. Considering the high demand from consumers to use natural products as an alternative to additives, essential oils (EOs) could be a promising solution to guarantee high microbiological standards. The present study highlighted the in vitro antifungal potential of cinnamon, ginger, lemongrass, mandarin, orange, lemon and lime EOs against spoilage yeasts isolated from yogurts prepared with pasteurized buffalo milk. A total of 74 isolates represented by 14 different species of Candida, Rhodotorula, Debaryomyces, Kluyveromyces and Yarrowia genera were subjected to a disc diffusion assay, showing lemongrass EO to have the highest antifungal activity (40.97 ± 9.86 mm), followed by cinnamon (38.46 ± 6.59 mm) and orange (12.00 ± 4.52 mm) EOs. Yarrowia lipolytica was less susceptible to lemongrass EO than Candida sake and Yarrowia deformans isolates. Ginger EO exhibited the lowest efficacy. A minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) assay showed the ability of lemongrass and cinnamon EOs to inhibit the growth of all selected isolates at concentrations between ≤0.31 and 1.25 μL/mL. Therefore, for the first time, the two best-performing EOs (lemongrass and cinnamon) based on in vitro assays were assessed for their potential roles as preservatives in an in vivo yogurt model prepared at the laboratory scale. Since some limitations, such as the inhibition of lactic acid bacteria by cinnamon EO, consequently leading to fermentation failure as well as species-specific antifungal activity of lemongrass EO, were observed, further studies are needed to explore the possibility of using a slightly higher concentration of lemongrass EO and/or combinations of different EOs and/or their components. Finally, since yogurt spoilage could also be prevented by correct sanitation procedures of the production environment, the sanitizers commonly used in the food industry were tested against all isolates, showing the high efficiency of alcohol-based sanitizers and the ineffectiveness of chlorine-based sanitizers.
