Résumé

Labneh Ambaris is a traditional Lebanese dairy product typically made using goat milk in special earthenware jars. Its production is characterized by the regular additions of milk and coarse salt, all while draining the whey throughout a process that lasts for a minimum of 2 mo. In this study, 20 samples of labneh Ambaris, all produced by spontaneous fermentation, were studied. They were collected at the end of fermentation from different regions in Lebanon. Physicochemical and sensory properties were studied and microbial diversity was analyzed using culture-dependent and independent techniques. The V3–V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene and the ITS2 region were sequenced by DNA metabarcoding analyses for the identification of bacteria and yeast communities, respectively. Out of 160 bacterial and 36 fungal taxa, 117 different bacterial species and 24 fungal species were identified among all labneh Ambaris samples studied. The remaining ones were multi-affiliated and could not be identified at the species level. Lactobacillus was the dominant bacterial genus, followed by Lentilactobacillus, Lactiplantibacillus, Lacticaseibacillus, and Lactococcus genera, whereas Geotrichum and Pichia were the dominant fungal genera. The 20 samples tested had varying levels of salt, protein, and fat contents, but they were all highly acidic (mostly having a pH < 4). According to the sensory scores generated by classical descriptive analysis, all samples were described as having basic similar characteristics such as goat smell and flavor, but they could be differentiated based on various intensities within the same descriptors like salty and acidic. This work could be considered as a base toward obtaining a quality label for labneh Ambaris.
