Pekasam is one of Malaysia s famous fermented product. Pekasam fish is usually made from freshwater fish with ground roasted fragrant rice as the main ingredient as the fermentation substrate. Fermented food, especially from fish or seafood requires lactic acid bacteria such as Lactobacillus spp. to aid the fermentation process. Samples were fermented for 30 days based on natural fermentation of pekasam. Protein has a significant effect on the taste, flavor, color and shelf life of the pekasam fish. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of protein content on selected fish in relation to the production of lactic acid bacteria. It showed that the increment of Lactobacillus spp. associated with the higher amount of protein in the fish during the fermentation process. Patin fish showed the highest protein content (27.5%) with the highest increment in Lactobacillus spp. This suggests possible use of Patin fish as a potential source to improve the overall quality of fermented fish product.

Introduction: Fermentation is a biotechnological process of preserving the biological potential of raw materials and transforming them in order to impart new organoleptic properties and to increase nutritional value of the product allowing diversification of daily meals; thus, in some countries fermented products make up a significant part of the human diet. Despite the fact that fermented products are very useful for humans, the fermentation process itself remained rather complicated for reproduction during a long time. Currently, starter cultures are used in industrial production of fermented food products enabling the production of foodstuffs with a guaranteed range of consumer properties. Such species of lactic acid bacteria as Carnobacterium, Enterococcus, Lactobacillus, Lactococcus, Leuconostoc, Oenococcus, Pediococcus, Streptococcus, Tetragenococcus, Vagococcus, and Weissella play the main role in production of fermented food and drinks while L. mesenteroides plays the primary role in starting fermentation of many types of plant materials including cabbage, beet, turnip, cauliflower, green beans, chopped green tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, etc. Objective: To control and manage the industrial fermentation process, it is important to determine the main processes occurring at different stages and the types of lactic acid microorganisms responsible for initiation, continuation and completion of the process. Results: This review shows that, despite the variety of fermentable vegetables, L. mesenteroides species of lactic acid bacteria are of particular importance at the primary heteroenzymatic stage since during this very period the processed raw materials form conditions for inhibiting pathogenic and facultative pathogenic microflora and create optimal environment for subsequent development of targeted microorganisms determining the quality of finished products. Conclusions: When developing food technology, L. mesenteroides species of lactic acid bacteria must be an indispensable component of industrial starter cultures for obtaining final products of consistently high quality.6

This study aimed to reveal the bacterial community and fermentation quality of Leymus chinensis silage during the fermentation process. L. chinensis was harvested at the heading stage, and ensiled with lactic acid bacteria (LAB, L), water (W), or a combination of both (LW) in vacuum-sealed plastic bags. As a control silage, untreated L. chinensis silage was also assessed. The samples were taken at 0, 5, 15, 35, and 60 days after ensiling. The bacterial community structure was assessed by plate cultivation and Illumina sequencing, and the fermentation parameters were also analyzed. Fresh L. chinensis contained low moisture (509 g/kg) and LAB (3.64 log colony-forming units/g fresh weight). Control silage displayed higher pH and lower lactic acid (LA) than other treatments during ensilage (p < 0.05); moreover, LW-treatment had lower pH from 5 to 35 days and greater LA at 5 days than L- and W-treatments (p < 0.05). During the fermentation process, Lactobacillus in L- and LW-treatments was the most dominant bacterial genus (>97%), had higher abundance than that in control silage and W-treatment (p < 0.05), and correlated negatively with other main genera and pH, and positively with LA and acetic acid (p < 0.05). Moreover, Lactobacillus had considerable abundance in W-treatment from 5 to 15 days (81.38–85.86%). Enterobacteriaceae had the most abundance among bacteria in control silage during ensiling (49.31–69.34%), and in W-treatment from 35 to 60 days (47.49–54.15%). The L-, W-, and LW-treatments displayed the aggregated bacterial community at 5 and 15 days, with W-treatment diverging from L- and LW-treatments at 35 and 60 days. Overall, the low moisture and/or insufficient LAB in fresh L. chinensis led to Enterobacteriaceae dominating bacterial community and contributing to the high pH and low LA in control silage during the fermentation process. Applying L, W, or LW contributed to Lactobacillus succession, LA production, and pH reduction during early stage of fermentation; moreover, treating with L and LW displayed more efficiency. Lactobacillus dominated the entire ensilage process in L- and LW-treatments and the early stage of fermentation in W-treatment, and contributed to the satisfactory fermentation quality of L. chinensis silage. The L- and LW-treatments displayed a similar pattern of bacterial succession during ensiling.

Cocoa fermentation process is fundamental to generate flavors and aromas that are characteristics of chocolate. In Colombia, this process is carried out by microbiota that spontaneously colonizes cocoa beans, therefore the quality of the fermentation is inconsistent. Taking into account that the fermentation of cocoa beans is carried out by a consortium of microorganisms, the aim of thisresearch was to describe the effect of the addition of a specific mixture of yeasts, acetic acid bacteria, and lactic acid bacteria on the physicochemical and organolepticcharacteristics of cocoa beans (clone CCN 51). Isolates of two yeasts (Wickerhamomyces anomalus and Debaryomyces hansenii), three acetic acid bacteria (AAB), (Gluconobacter japonicus, Acetobacter tropicalis, and Acetobacter pasteurianus) and three lactic acid bacteria (LAB) (Pediococcus acidilactici, Lactobacillus brevis, and Lactobacillus plantarum) obtained fromprevious cocoa fermentations selected for their pectinases and acid production capacities in a specific mixture were used. Using the micro-fermentation technique, the effect of a biological starter was evaluated under different viable microorganismsratios (Yeasts: LAB: AAB as follows, 1: 1: 1, 1: 2: 2, 1: 2: 1, 1: 1: 2, 2: 1: 1, 2: 2: 1, 2: 1: 2, and 2: 2: 2). The concentration of each microorganism was standardized at 1x107 cfu/mL, then the biomass of 4 mL for ratio 1 and 8 mL for ratio 2 of each suspension of microorganisms was added at time zero. Different doses of inoculum were 0%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, and 5% v/w mL inoculum/g cocoa beans. A beneficial effecton the sensory quality of cocoa beans was evidenced by the addition of microorganisms; the best proportion of microorganisms was 2:1:2 (yeasts:LAB:AAB) and the best inoculum dose was 3% (v/w) showing lower acidity, astringency, and bitterness, and emphasizing the cocoa flavors, fruity, nutty, and panela malt.

This work investigated the effect of lipase addition on a Chinese traditional fermented fish product, Suanzhayu. The accumulation of lactic acid and the decrease of pH during the fermentation were mainly caused by the metabolism of Lactobacillus. The addition of lipase had little effect on pH and the bacterial community structure but promoted the growth of Proteus. The addition of lipase promotes the formation of volatile compounds, especially aldehydes and esters. The formation of volatile compounds is mainly divided into three stages, and lipase had accelerated the fermentation process. Lactobacillus, Enterococcus and Proteus played an important role not only in inhibition of the growth of Escherichia-Shigella, but also in the formation of flavor. This study provides a rapid fermentation method for the Suanzhayu process.

Relevance Fermentation of vegetables is usually carried out in the traditional way (spontaneous fermentation using native microflora), but the quality of the finished product is difficult to predict. Very often, due to the low initial amount of lactic acid bacteria or their low activity, the result of the process remains unpredictable, which can lead to the loss of a significant amount of product. In the fermentation of vegetables involved several types of facultatively anaerobic lactic acid bacteria. In order to control the fermentation process and make it directed, it is necessary to study which lactic acid bacteria are involved in the fermentation process, the period in which their growth and death, and how it affects the organoleptic properties of the finished product, as well as to study the activity of lactic acid microorganisms in the fermentation process. When fermentation of vegetables are not only the original nutrients such as vitamin C, amino acids, dietary fibers, etc., but also develop functional microorganisms such as lactic acid bacteria. Fermentation has an important effect on the quality and taste, so it is very important to study the fermentation process, microbial diversity and changes in nutrients and chemical elements in the fermentation process. Reducing the rate or preventing microbial spoilage of food is based on four main principles: minimization of product contamination by microorganisms; suppression of growth and reproduction of microorganisms-contaminants; destruction of microorganisms-contaminants; removal of microorganisms-contaminants. Fermentation is based on a combination of the first three principles and is achieved by creating conditions for the growth of specific microorganisms that can give food the desired taste, aroma, texture and appearance. Results This review is devoted to the scientific aspects of vegetable fermentation, including crops that contribute to the creation of optimal conditions for the development of the main pool of lactic acid microorganisms, the production of finished products of high quality and the prevention of microbial spoilage. It is shown that at the first stage of fermentation lactobacilli of the genus L. mesenteroides play a determining role. It is their "work" to create optimal conditions for the development of the target lactic microflora depends on the quality of the finished product. This fact should be taken into account when creating industrial bacterial starter cultures – "starter cultures" for the directed process of fermentation of vegetables.
