Traditional Tunisian Leben (TL) was produced according to the traditional method. Physicochemical and microbiological characteristics and major aromatic compounds were studied and compared to industrial Leben (IL) and experimental Leben (EL). The results show a decrease in lactose content and pH value and an increase in lactic acid during spontaneous fermentation. TL and EL were characterised by higher protein, lactose and ash contents but were less fatty and acidic than IL. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and yeasts present in TL were responsible for lactic acid fermentation and aroma development. The LAB and yeast counts in TL were higher than that in EL and IL. Dynamic headspace extraction procedure shows the existence of four major volatile compounds: acetaldehyde, ethanol, diacetyl and acetoin in TL, IL and EL. However, TL has the most important quantity of aroma.
