The identification of lactic acid bacteria was done by phenotypic analysis using the kit API50CHL (BioMérieux, Marcy-l'Etoile, France) according Saeed et al.(2009) and Lu et al. (2008) .The API 50CHL system allows the species identification of LAB according to the biochemical profile of carbohydrate fermentation. Readings were taken after 24 and 48 hours of incubation at 30°C. The identification of yeasts was performed using the kit API 20CAux (BioMérieux, Marcy-l'Etoile, France) according Saeed et al.(2009) and the readings were made after 48 and72 hours of incubation at 30 °C.
