The strains were identified as Lactococcus lactis (9), Leuconostoc citreum (3), Leuconostoc mesenteroides (2), Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides (1), Levilactobacillus brevis (7), Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (32), Lactiplantibacillus paraplantarum (7) and Lacticaseibacillus paracasei (5). In general, Lactococcus lactis strains showed the highest degree of acidifying activity, especially in the first hours of fermentation, and extracellular proteolytic activity. In contrast, intracellular activities, assayed from cell-free extracts, were higher in the lactobacilli strains. L. paracasei strains showed the highest level of aminopeptidase activity, while some L. plantarum strains obtained high values of dipeptidase activity. Carboxypeptidase activity was very low or undetectable in many strains, although in others the activity values were exceptionally high. Esterolytic activity was generally low, although L. paracasei strains showed higher activity on short-chain substrates. Finally, 11 strains were selected using the scoring system that could be used in the design of starter cultures and co-cultures.
