The aim of this study was to add value to cashew apples from northern Côte d'Ivoire. Yeasts were isolated from cashew apples and screened to select potential starters. Following screening, the best strains underwent biochemical identification by MALDI TOF mass spectrometry to determine the species involved. The results enabled us to select three (3) strains with the best properties compared with the other strains tested. These three strains belong to the Saccharomyces cerevisiae species, according to their MALDI-TOF MS profiles. These highly interesting technological properties point to the potential use of these three strains as starters in biotechnological applications.
