Refrigerated storage of raw milk promotes the growth of psychrotrophic bacteria, some of which produce heat-stable exoenzymes causing dairy product spoilage. The effects of storage conditions and season on the biodiversity of psychrotrophs in raw milk were examined using matrix-assisted laser desorption time of flight mass spectrometry and 16S rRNA analysis. The ability of psychrotrophs to produce protease, lipase and phospholipase C was determined. The predominant genera found were Pseudomonas (19.9%), Bacillus (13.3%), Microbacterium (5.3%), Lactococcus (8.6%), Acinetobacter (4.9%) and Hafnia (2.8%); a considerable number of isolates were hitherto unknown species and genera. Diversity varied significantly (P < 0.05), depending on the storage temperature, time, initial microbiota and season. The predominant isolates showed significantly higher heat-stable exoenzyme activities after heating at 142 degrees C for 4 s. Improving the quality of milk products may require differential processing of raw milk depending on the type of microbiota present, storage temperature and seasonality. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.
