Abstract This study aimed to isolate lactic acid bacteria from sheep milk products and to characterize these microorganisms with a focus on their antimicrobial, proteolytic and lipolytic activities. Raw milk, pasteurized milk, pasteurized cream, and butter samples were collected, lactic acid bacteria were isolated and their proteolytic, lipolytic and antimicrobial activities were evaluated. Lactic acid bacteria counts were higher in raw milk collected at the farm number 4 (8.91 ± 0.05 log CFU/mL), in which adequate hygienic practices were observed for pre- and post-milking. A total of 253 isolates were obtained, and among them 37 were lactic acid bacteria, where 19 showed some type of activity, most of which from raw milk. Among the isolates of lactic acid bacteria, 48.65% (n=18) showed proteolytic activity, 13.51% (n=5) lipolytic activity, 10.81% (n=4) showed both proteolytic and lipolytic activities, and only 2.70% (n=1) showed antimicrobial activity. Isolation of lactic acid bacteria with technological properties demonstrated their potential use as starter cultures in processing of fermented dairy products.
