Relevance. The use of certain single or mixed cultures of lactic acid microorganisms and the mandatory control of the fermentation process of white cabbage are of great importance to ensure that the product is of stable quality without the need for any chemical preservatives or harsh processing conditions. Carbohydrates contained in raw materials play an important role in this process, since carbohydrates are the main source of maintaining the viability of lactic acid microorganisms. By adjusting the carbohydrate component of raw materials at different stages of fermentation, it is possible to maintain a high titer of microorganisms, while obtaining not only a high-quality product, but also giving it, along with prebiotic (a source of fiber) and probiotic properties. Materials and methods. The purpose of this research work was to ensure the direction of the biotechnological process in the direction of stabilization of the concentration of functional microflora (starting systems of lactic acid microorganisms), under the influence of introduced carbohydrate nutrients. In this work, we studied two fermentation systems of microorganisms that are fundamental microorganisms in the fermentation of cabbage, namely, systems consisting of a pre-fermentation culture of Leuconostoc mesenteroides and one of the cultures of lactobacilli: Lactobacillus plantarum or Lactobacillus brevis. The study used the usual microbiological method for determining the number of microorganisms by seeding in an agarized culture medium, as well as processing experimental data. Results. As a result, we found that the introduction of a carbohydrate Supplement allows us to stabilize the dynamics of changes in the concentration of the studied starting systems at the same initial level throughout the main stage of fermentation.

White Cabbage

In this review, the fermentation process (lactic acid fermentation) of white cabbage is completely coveraged. Fermentation is a very complex dynamic process with numerous physical, chemical and microbiological changes affecting quality of the final product. The sequence of lactic acid bacteria development in the fermentation process, which is characterized by the growth and change of pools of various microorganisms, is described. In place of lactic acid microorganisms Leuconostoc mesenteroides comes Lactobacillus brevis, and then propagated Lactobacillus plantarum. The main factors to be taken into account in the fermentation and storage of sauerkraut are given. In order to start the spontaneous fermentation process, it is necessary that the lactic acid bacteria present on the surface of fresh raw materials prevail over the pathogenic microflora. At the same time, the use of starter cultures is a good alternative to natural fermentation, as this ensures the proper flow of the process and the finished product of good quality. The methods of heat treatment, such as pasteurization and sterilization, allowing to extend the shelf life of the finished fermented product. Various types of packaging that are best used for fermented products are also described: plastic bags, glass and metal cans. It is specified what hygienic norms should be observed at production of sauerkraut. It is shown that fermented (fermented) cabbage has probiotic properties that have a beneficial effect on the human body. It is noted that the use of lactic acid microorganisms (starter cultures) in the fermentation process of white cabbage favorably affects the whole process, as it suppresses the development of pathogenic and other undesirable microorganisms on the surface of fresh raw materials and allows to produce a product with improved functional properties.

Польза для здоровья от ферментированных функциональных продуктов выражается непосредственно, через взаимодействие живых микроорганизмов, поступивших в организм вместе с пищевыми продуктами или с биологически активными добавками (пробиотический эффект), или косвенно, в результате потребления микробных метаболитов, синтезируемых в процессе ферментирования (биогенный эффект). Целый ряд исследований посвящен потенциалу процесса ферментирования для создания экономически эффективного производства пищевых продуктов с новыми функциональными и потребительскими свойствами. Присутствие в составе субстрата достаточного количества нутриентов (преимущественно сахаров) играет решающую роль в развитии молочнокислых микроорганизмов в процессе ферментирования. В этой связи были исследованы динамики концентрации глюкозы и фруктозы в результате направленной углеводной корректировки субстрата, приготовленного из белокочанной капусты сорта Парус. Установлено, что оптимальным, с точки зрения деструкции сахаров, является консорциум молочнокислых микроорганизмов видов L. casei и L. plantarum. Экспериментально установлено, что только этот консорциум удовлетворяет условие устойчивого синергизма между входящими в него видами микроорганизмов во время основного этапа ферментирования при условии углеводной корректировки сырья. Процесс углеводной корректировки целесообразно использовать при разработке технологии направленной ферментации овощного сырья. The health benefits of fermented functional products are expressed directly, through the interaction of living microorganisms that have entered the body together with food or biologically active additives (probiotic effect), or indirectly, as a result of consumption of microbial metabolites synthesized during fermentation (biogenic effect). A number of studies are devoted to the potential of the fermentation process to create cost-effective food production with new functional and consumer properties. The presence of a sufficient amount of nutrients (mainly sugars) in the substrate plays a crucial role in the development of lactic acid microorganisms during fermentation. In this regard, the dynamics of glucose and fructose concentrations were investigated as a result of directed carbohydrate adjustment of the substrate prepared from white cabbage of the Parus variety. It has been established that the consortium of lactic acid microorganisms of the species L. casei and L. plantarum is optimal from the point of view of the destruction of sugars. It has been experimentally established that only this consortium satisfies the condition of stable synergy between the species of microorganisms included in it during the main stage of fermentation, subject to carbohydrate adjustment of raw materials. It is advisable to use the process of carbohydrate correction in the development of technology for directed fermentation of vegetable raw materials.

Introduction. Creating favorable conditions for the development of lactic acid microorganisms is one of the main factors in obtaining high-quality fermented products. The cycle of their life directly depends on the amount and composition of carbohydrates in plant tissue. Since a significant part of carbohydrates is consumed at the initial stage of fermentation process, additional fortification is needed. The research objective was to study the development rate of lactic acid microorganisms during the fermentation of plant substrate with a modified carbohydrate composition. Study objects and methods. The research featured model medium based on white cabbage of the Parus variety. The medium was fermented with different strains of lactic acid microorganisms: at the first stage of fermentation – Leuconostoc mesenteroides, at the second stage – Lactobacillus casei VKM 536, Lactobacillus plantarum VKM B-578, Lactobacillus brevis VKM B-1309, and their paired consortia. The initial plant material was subjected to grinding and removal of native microflora for the development of target lactic acid microorganisms, then inoculated with L. mesenteroides. The target lactic acid microorganisms were introduced after the first stage of fermentation with simultaneous adjustment of the carbohydrate composition. Results and discussion. The technology included modes of controlled two-stage microbial transformation of plant raw materials using modification of the carbohydrate composition of the substrate. A number of experiments made it possible to select the optimal composition of the consortium and establish the optimal fermentation time at the main stage of microbial processing. When the plant substrate was fermented by the consortium of L. casei + L. plantarum with an increased carbohydrate component, the decrease in the concentration was quite small: after 5–30 days, the decrease in the concentration of microorganisms did not exceed one order of magnitude, which was insignificant at an initial concentration of eight orders of magnitude. In other consortia, the decrease in the concentration of microorganisms was more pronounced. Conclusion. The fortification of the vegetable substrate with carbohydrates made it possible to maintain the concentration of lactic acid microorganisms at a level comparable to the concentration at the time of inoculation. The concentrations of microorganisms varied slightly in both monocultures and their paired consortia during the entire main fermentation stage of the model medium with a modified carbohydrate component. By the end of the main fermentation stage, the concentration of microorganisms did not fall below 107 CFU/g. Therefore, the resulting system “microflora – substrate” proved to have probiotic properties. The study can be used to develop new technological modes of controlled step-by-step fermentation of plant raw materials in order to improve the quality indicators of the final product.

Direct Fermentation

Fermented cabbage is traditionally produced naturally, where under the action of lactic acid bacteria contained in raw materials, carbohydrates are converted into lactic acid. However, the direct fermentation process does not always lead to an optimal quality product. That is why the use of lactic acid microorganisms is a good alternative to the direct fermentation of cabbage, as with the help of starter cultures the process can be controlled. In this connection, the use of strains of lactic acid microorganisms allows to achieve rapid production of lactic and acetic acids and leads to a rapid decrease in pH, which in turn leads to the suppression of pathogenic microflora, and therefore to the creation of favorable conditions for the fermentation process. The aim of this study was to study the effect of consortia of lactic acid microorganisms on the dynamics of active and titratable acidity in the main stage of fermentation of white cabbage of the variety "Parus". For the study, the prepared modified model medium (MMC) from cabbage was used. In this work, we used lactic acid bacteria Leuconostoc mesenteroides and its consortia: L. mesenteroides + L. casei, L. mesenteroides + L. plantarum, L. mesenteroides + L. brevis, L. mesenteroides + L. casei + L. plantarum, L. mesenteroides + L. plantarum + L. brevis, L. mesenteroides + L. brevis + L. casei. Mathematical processing was carried out according to the obtained experimental data. Analysis of experimental data showed that at the main stage of fermentation the relationship of lactic acid microorganisms in the studied consortia was expressed by synergistic and antagonistic properties. In this case, the best results on the dynamics of growth of active and titratable acidity were obtained in consortiums L. mesenteroides + L. plantarum, L. mesenteroides + L. casei + L. plantarum, L. mesenteroides + L. plantarum + L. brevis.

Sour ales, traditionally produced in Belgium, Britain, and Germany, have gained wide popularity in America, Europe, and Russia. The paper provides generalized and systematized scientific data related to the technological and biotechnological characteristics of raw materials used in sour ales. The study featured malt, grain products (wheat, corn, rice, barley, rye, and oats), hop, Lactobacillus lactic-acid bacteria, Saccharomyces cerevisiae brewer’s yeast, and Brettanomyces yeast. Sour ales are usually prepared from a combination of different malts, such as Pilsner, Vienna, and Munich. Pilsner is used for malt type, while Munich is mostly employed as a basisfor dark varieties of sour ales. The review presents some of the flavor characteristics of malt types, as well as their recommended content. Unmalted grain products have a significant impact on the technological process and the organoleptic characteristics of acid ales. Unmalted wheat is used for Belgian sour ales, such as Lambic, Fruit Lambic, and Gueuze, in the amount of 30–40%, while 50 % are used in the German variety of Berliner Weiss. In general, the degree of wort pitching for sour ales should not exceed 8-15 IBU, since hop acids kill lactic-acid bacteria. Common hop varieties with a low or medium content of α-acids were found optimal for sour ale production. For example, for Flanders Red Ale, producers most often use one of the best traditional European varieties, namely Saazer (Zatetsky).The following types of homo- and heterofermentative lactic-acid bacteria are recommended for ale production technology: Lactobacillus delbrueckii, Lactobacillus brevis, Lactobacillus buchneri, Lactobacillus fermentum, and Lactobacillus plantarum. The aromatic characteristics of the wort fermented with lactic acid bacteria are described in the following terms: bread, yeast, honey, oil, cider, etc. Lactic acid bacteria are used in sour ales production, as well as Brettanomyces yeasts. Currently, brewing widely employstwo types of yeast: Brettanomyces bruxellensis and Brettanomyces anomalus. They give the drink a specific taste and aroma, due to hydroxycinnamic acids (HCAs) and esters (ethyl acetate, ethyl lactate, phenylacetate, etc.). The paper contains some practical recommendations on the use of specific types of raw materials to produce sour ales with a given sensory profile.

Introduction. Fermentative processing of plant raw materials is traditionally carried out using native (epiphytic) microflora, which is located on the surface and represented by lactic acid microorganisms. During this process, the carbohydrates in the raw material are metabolized into lactic acid. This process does not always result in optimal product quality as the raw material often lacks carbohydrates, the optimal conditions for the development of the target microflora are hard to achieve, the microflora might be inhibited by contaminants, etc. Lactic acid microbial consortia can act as a good alternative to spontaneous fermentation of cabbage as this method creates good conditions for the microbial synergistic interaction. Such fermentation process can be controlled by adjusting the carbohydrate composition of the substrate. The research objective was to develop an analytical approach to determine the minimum required degree of change in the native carbohydrate composition of substrate that would ensure the synergy of lactic acid microorganisms. Study objects and methods. The fermentation process was performed using white cabbage of Slava variety and such strains of lactic acid microorganisms as Lactobacillus casei VCM 536, Lactobacillus plantarum VCM B-578, and Lactobacillus brevis VCM B-1309, as well as their paired consortia. The raw material was subjected to grinding, and the epiphytic microflora was removed to create optimal conditions for the development of the lactic acid microflora. Results and discussion. The study made it possible to define the dynamics of carbohydrate fermentation in white cabbage by various strains of lactic bacteria and their paired consortia during processing. Mathematical models helped to describe the dynamics of glucose and fructose fermentation. The experiment also demonstrated the changes that occurred in the interaction within the paired consortia during fermentation. The paper introduces a new approach to determining the minimum required degree of change in the native carbohydrate composition required to ensure synergy of lactic acid microorganisms in paired consortia. Conclusion. The research defined the necessary amounts of carbohydrate needed to shift the integral factor of mutual influence towards sustainable synergy for three paired consortia. Consortium L. brevis + L. plantarum + 3.65 g/100 g of fructose proved to be the optimal variant for industrial production of sauerkraut from white cabbage of Slava variety. The developed approach can improve the existing industrial technologies of fermentation and create new ones.

Kimchi fermentation depends on diverse lactic acid bacteria, which convert raw materials into numerous metabolites that contribute to the taste of food. Amino acids and saccharides are important primary metabolites. Arginine is nearly exhausted during kimchi fermentation, whereas the concentrations of other amino acids are reported not to increase or decrease dramatically. These phenomena could imply that arginine is an important nutritional component among the amino acids during kimchi fermentation. In this study, we investigated the arginine-catabolism pathway of seven lactic acid bacteria isolated from kimchi and evaluated the products of arginine catabolism (citrulline and ornithine) associated with the bacteria. The arginine content dramatically decreased in cultures of Lactobacillus brevis and Weissella confusa from 300 μg/mL of arginine to 0.14 ± 0.19 and 1.3 ± 0.01 μg/mL, respectively, after 6 h of cultivation. Citrulline and ornithine production by L. brevis and W. confusa showed a pattern that was consistent with arginine catabolism. Interestingly, Pediococcus pentosaceus, Lactobacillus plantarum, Leuconostoc mesenteroides, and Leuconostoc lactis did not show increased citrulline levels after arginine was added. The ornithine contents were higher in all bacteria except for L. lactis after adding arginine to the culture. These results were consistent with the absence of the arginine deiminase gene among the lactic acid bacteria. Arginine consumption and ornithine production were monitored and compared with lactic acid bacteria by metagenomics analysis, which showed that the increment of ornithine production correlated positively with lactic acid bacteria growth.

Abstract Fermented meat products represent an important segment of our alimentation. Obtaining these products is based on beneficial microorganism activity. In the case of traditional food products, these are commercial starters or autochthonous microflora. Fermentation of raw materials is mainly done by sugar metabolization of lactic acid bacteria (LAB). In addition, these microorganisms can have other beneficial properties too such as probiotic properties, antimicrobial compound production abilities, etc. In order to meet consumer demands, starter cultures are continuously developed to produce high-quality, healthy, and tasty products, thus contributing to guaranteeing microbiological safety and to improving one or more sensory characteristics, technological, nutritional, or health properties of the fermented products. The aim of our research is to determine the technological properties of autochthonous lactic acid bacteria originated from commercial fresh sausages in order to select and use them as potential starter cultures in the meat industry. In our work, we determined the relevant characteristics (such as salt tolerance, proteolytic activity, antimicrobial activity, and antibiotic resistance) of bacteria isolated from 16 fresh sausages. Based on our results, the studied bacterial isolates originated from sausages could be potentially used as autochthonous meat starter cultures.

Relevance. Cabbage is one of the most popular products, which is mainly fermented with the addition of various vegetables. When fermentation is 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 of cabbage, so it is important to study the fermentation process, microbial diversity and changes in nutrients and chemical elements in the fermentation process. L. mesenteroides is considered to be the dominant species on heterofermentative early stages of fermentation. However, there is little information on the diversity of species and strains of Leuconostoc involved in fermentation of sauerkraut. Studies that used traditional biochemical methods to study fermentation of sauerkraut showed that four main types of lactic acid bacteria were involved in the fermentation process: Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Lactobacillus plantarum, Pediococcus pentosaceus and Lactobacillus brevis. Taking into account the importance of two-stage fermentation of vegetable raw materials in order to create optimal conditions for the development of the "main" pool of lactic acid microorganisms at the first stage, it becomes urgent to conduct a complex of studies aimed at reproducing the "natural" process in which the main role is played by bacteria of the genus Leuconostoc mesenteroides at the second stage – monocultures of lactic acid microorganisms and their consortia.Methods. The paper studies the dynamics of the type of interaction of lactic acid microorganisms in paired consortiums on model media pretreated by the culture of the species Leuconostoc mesenteroides, at the main stage of step fermentation of white cabbage of the "Parus" variety.Results. It is established that the sum of the criteria, the consortium "L. mesenteroides \ L. casei + L. plantarum" demonstrates the most pronounced advantage compared with monoculture cultivation of appropriate format of pseudotensorial; despite the pronounced synergy in the cultivation of the consortium "L. mesenteroides \ L. brevis + L. plantarum", the dynamics of the comparison index on the rate of increase in the concentration of microorganisms indicates the need for additional research.

The Algerian couscous, "Hamoum”, is prepared from fermented wheat which is the result of wheat grains being stored in an artisanal underground grana-ry called "Matmora" for more than one year. This method of storage has been abandoned in favor of conventional modes without being well studied and known. However, it is used on family scale farms. The purpose of this study was to explore the biodiversity of microbial flora of fermented wheat due to this type of storage. A total of 39 isolates were evaluated in terms to identify lactic acid bacteria and screening the probiotic properties. The phe-notypic results showed a diversity of lactic flora and lactic acid bacteria iso-lated from fermented wheat mainly belonging to Lactobacillus (69%) fol-lowed by Pediococcus (15%), Leuconostoc (8%) and Enterococcus (8%). The genotypic characterization revealed the dominance of Lactobacillus plantarum. The identified strains Lactobacillus plantarum (M6), Lactobacillus plantarum (R27), Lactobacillus brevis (BL8) and Pediococcus acidilactici (M5) have a high antibacterial activity and all strains have resistance to low acidic pH and bile salts. This investigation has enabled a screening of lactic acid bacteria from traditionally fermented wheat. “Hamoum” is a substrate rich in lactic acid bacteria that has exceptional probiotic potential. It’s may be the starting point for further characterization of biotechnological properties in order to identify and select probiotic strains for therapeutic purposes.
