Commercially available dry lager yeast strain (S. cerevisiae,
SAFLAGER W37/70, Fermentis Ltd., France) and three LAB strains
(Lactobacillus delbrueckii spp. bulgaricus LB340, Lactobacillus rhamnosus
HOWARU and Bifidobacterium lactis FLORA-FIT BI07 donated
by Danisco Ltd., Brazil) were used in the experiment. LAB strains
have been previously evaluated and showed individual percentages
of AFM1 removal in UHT milk at 37 C ranging from 24.5 to 33.5%
(Bovo et al., 2012).
