Summary

Plain yogurts (set type) fermented by three different starter cultures were subjected to different heat treatments (20 s at 72, 80 or 100 ·C, or 30 min at 60, 70, 80 or 100 ·C). DNA was extracted from each yogurt and analysed by agarose gel electrophoresis, by species-specific hybridization and by primer-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Obvious degradation of DNA could be observed after heating at 80 ·C for 30 min and at 100 ·C for 20 s and 30 min. Identification of Lactobacillus delbrueckii using a species-specific hybridization fragment could be carried out in yogurt treated at 100 ·C for 20 s or for 30 min at lower temperatures. After treatment for 30 min at 100 ·C identification by hybridization was no longer possible. However, under the same conditions identification of starter microorganisms was still possible by primer-specific PCR, and this was demonstrated as an example for Streptococcus thermophilus.
