dc.description.abstractThis study was conducted to determine the diversity of yeasts and filamentous moulds in mould-matured cheese (MMC) consumed in Turkey. Overall, 120 samples were collected from 12 different geographical locations between March 2016 and April 2017. The morphological observation was applied in combination with matrixassisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) and molecular analyses to determine yeasts and filamentous moulds in the cheeses. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) technique was used to evaluate the ability of mycotoxins production of fungal isolates and the presence of mycotoxins in cheese samples. A total of 241 fungi (81 filamentous moulds and 160 yeast) were recovered, and Penicillium roqueforti and Debaryomyces hansenii were the most frequently isolated species in all cheese samples. The rep-PCR results indicated a high level of genetic diversity among fungal isolates, regardless of isolation source or geographical origin. Filamentous mould strains isolated from MMC were found to synthesize at least one mycotoxin (Aflatoxin B1, B2, G1 and G2, citrinine, cyclopiazonic acid, mycophenolic acid, ochratoxin A, penicillic acid and roquefortine C). Although mycotoxin producing ability was observed from all isolates, none of the cheese samples were found positive for these mycotoxins. AFM1 was detected in 8 (6.6%) MMC samples from which 2 (1.6%) were above the legal limits (0.05 mu g/kg) set by the Turkish Food Codex (TFC) and European Commission (EC). In conclusion, Turkish MMCs were found to be contaminated with toxigenic fungi, so a potential public health risk, while low, exists. Therefore, the selection of nontoxigenic filamentous mould strains for cheese manufacturing and control of the ripening conditions is a critical need to ensure the quality and safety of Turkish MMC.
