This research was aimed to study the effect of Lactobacillus plantarum and Leuconostoc mesenteroides starter cultures application in lower salt concentration fermentation on sauerkraut quality. Fresh cut cabbage was fermented with different starter cultures (L. plantarum, L. mesenteroides or the combination) at different lower salt concentration (0.5% or 1%) at 28oC for 5 days. The obtained sauerkrauts were subjected to evaluation of the quality i.e. total lactic acid bacteria, pH, total acidity, total phenolic content and DPPH scavenging activity analysis. The sulforaphane content analysis was performed by using LC-MS. The starter cultures increased total lactic acid bacteria, total acidity and decreased pH. L. mesenteroides resulted in the highest total phenolic content and the lowest IC50 value. Sauerkraut with the addition of L. mesenteroides contains sulforaphane higher 848.65 ng/g than that of control 776.47 ng/g. The results analysis of LC-MS also detected another compound, namely 2-phenethyl isothiocyanate, an antimicrobial compound. The sauerkraut is potential in functional food development with antiproliferative, antiinflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-cancer activities.

The spontaneous fermentation was carried out on Carica papaya leaf (CPL) in view of its potential improvement on antioxidant functionality and cultivation of lactic acid bacteria. The effect of the spontaneous fermentation on the total phenolic content and antioxidant activity of CPL, as well as biodiversity profiling were evaluated in this study. Total phenolic content and antioxidant capacity of the fermented CPL were 31.14 mg GAE g-1 and 405.8 mM TE g-1 respectively, higher than the unfermented CPL (5.71 mg GAE/g and 130.5 mM TE g-1) respectively. Microbial community was predominantly lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and yeasts, both populated at 104 to 108 CFU/mL during most part of the fermentation. Presumptive Enterobacteriaceae showed up briefly at the onset of the fermentation before disappearing. PCR-DGGE fingerprinting revealed Lactobacillus plantarum (Lb. plantarum) as the sole dominant bacterial species. More diverse yeasts community was detected by PCR-DGGE where succession of Zygosaccharomyces, Saccharomyces, Candida and Aspergillus genera were detected along fermentation time. Spontaneous fermentation successfully enhanced the total phenolic content and antioxidant capacity of the CPL. The cultivation of lactic acid bacteria was indicated by the presence of Lb. plantarum, whereas the disappearance of Enterobacteriaceae conferred a safe consumption of the fermented CPL.

Bosnian sudzuk is a dry fermented sausage produced in a rural household near the town of Visoko in central Bosnia and Herzegovina. This kind of sausage was manufactured only from beef and spices in a traditional way without the addition of a starter cultures. To identify lactic acid bacteria (LAB), a total number of 160 Lstrains were isolated from five samples of Bosnian sudzuk collected over 28 days of fermentation. Preliminary identification by phenotypic tests and 16S rDNA sequencing were performed for all 160 of the Lisolates. Identification of Lstrains from traditionally produced Bosnian sausage at the species level revealed the presence of six genera: Lactococcus sp., Enterococcus sp., Leuconostoc sp., Lactobacillus sp., Pediococcus sp. and Weissella sp.. Among the 15 distinct species identified, the species Lactobacillus plantarum, Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Lactococcus lactis, Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus durans were present throughout the entire process of fermentation. Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactococcus lactis prevailed, with 21.8%, 19.3% and 13.1%, respectively, of total Lstrains during the entire fermentation process. Significant negative correlations (r = 0.892 and r = 0.829, respectively) between the presence of Weissella sp. and Lactobacillus sp., and between the presence of Weissella sp. and Lactococcus sp. were recorded. Lactobacillus plantarum, Enterococcus durans and Leuconostoc mesenteroides were the best producers of aromogenic compounds while 32.3% of Lactobacillus plantarum and 28.6% of Leuconostoc mesenteroides were produced exopolysaccharides.

Fura, a semi-solid millet-based dumpling, is popularly consumed throughout West Africa. This work was aimed at evaluating the effect of storage temperature on the microbial and physicochemical properties of fura. Freshly prepared fura was stored at 30 and 4°C and sampled periodically to determine the changes in pH, titratable acidity, total soluble solids and total phenolic content. Additionally, the effect of storage temperature on the microbial (by enumerating aerobic mesophiles, lactic acid bacteria, Enterobacteriaceae, and yeast and moulds) quality was determined. Storage affected the acidity of fura with a decrease in pH and an increase in titratable acidity. The total soluble solids and total phenolic content were, however, not affected by storage temperature. Lactic acid bacteria were the predominant microbe present in fura. During storage at 30°C, faster growth of lactic acid bacteria and the other microbes was observed compared to storage at the lower temperature.

Malting is an important industrial product with a huge market outlet. Sorghum grain carries a numerous and variable, microbial population that mainly consists of bacteria, yeasts, and filamentous fungi. Sorghum malt is heavily reliant on chemical control of moulds and coliforms. This research aimed at investigating ways of improving malt quality and safety, using starter cultures of lactic acid bacteria and yeast, during the steeping stage of malting. All the steep treatments contained a sizeable population of moulds, greater than 4logcfu/mL, at 0hrs of steeping. A 3Log decrease was recorded in the steep treatment containing only single culture of Lactobacillus plantarum All the steeping treatments achieved varying levels of anti-nutrient reduction. The Lactobacillus plantarum CLB8 steep reduced the phytate level by as much as 47% when compared to the phytate level in sorghum grain. The combined cultures of Lactobacillus plantarum CLB8 and Saccharomyces cerevisiaeCYT1 reduced the phytate content by as much as 40% when compared to the sorghum grain without treatment. When compared to the control steep, the Lactobacillus plantarum CLB8 steep improved the anti-nutrient degradation by 31%. The combined cultures of Lactobacillus plantarum CLB8 and Saccharomyces cerevisiae CYT1 reduced the phytate content by as much as 23% when compared with the control steep. The polyphenol content was reduced by about 46% in the Lactobacillus plantarum CLB8 steep and 29% in the combined cultures of Lactobacillus plantarum CLB8 and Saccharomyces cerevisiae CYT1 steep when compared to the polyphenol content in the whole sorghum grain. Only the Lactobacillus plantarum CLB8 steep had better polyphenol reduction than the control with a 9.6% reduction more than the control. It was concluded that lactic acid bacteria can be apply as a biological control organism in malting of grains.

We investigated the suitability of rice flour for fermented beverage production using various strains of lactic acid bacteria. Fermentation led to a decrease in pH from 5.04&ndash;5.17 to 3.74&ndash;4.35. At the same time, total acidity increased (1.28&ndash;2.59&nbsp;g/l) due to lactic acid (0.59&ndash;2.76 g/l) and acetic acid (0.11&ndash;0.30 g/l) production. Fermentation of rice beverages also caused a gradual decrease in glucose and fructose concentration. Lactic acid bacteria proliferated in the first phases of fermentation, and cell counts reached a maximum after 12 h. The highest growth rate (v<sub>LAB</sub> = 0.44 Log<sub>10</sub> CFU/ml/h) was observed in a sample with the culture of Lactobacillus brevis CCM 1815. Viscosity of beverages decreased significantly after 24&nbsp;h of fermentation. The highest values of sensory parameters were observed in a monoculture of Lactobacillus plantarum CCM 7039 and in a sample with a mixed culture of Lactobacillus plantarum CCM 7039 and Bifidobacterium longum CCM 4990.

Exopolysaccharides (EPS) produced by three Lactic Acid Bacteria strains,Lactococcus lactisSLT10,Lactobacillus plantarumC7, andLeuconostoc mesenteroidesB3, were isolated using two methods: ethanol precipitation (EPS-ETOH) and ultrafiltration (EPS-UF) through a 10 KDa cut-off membrane. EPS recovery by ultrafiltration was higher than ethanol precipitation forLactococcus lactisSLT10 andLactobacillus plantarumC7. However, it was similar with both methods forLeuconostoc mesenteroidesB3. The monomer composition of the EPS fractions revealed differences in structures and molar ratios between the two studied methods. EPS isolated fromLactococcus lactisSLT10 are composed of glucose and mannose for EPS-ETOH against glucose, mannose, and rhamnose for EPS-UF. EPS extracted fromLactobacillus plantarumC7 andLeuconostoc mesenteroidesB3 showed similar composition (glucose and mannose) but different molar ratios. The molecular weights of the different EPS fractions ranged from 11.6±1.83 to 62.4±2.94 kDa. Molecular weights of EPS-ETOH fractions were higher than those of EPS-UF fractions. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis revealed a similarity in the distribution of the functional groups (O-H, C-H, C=O, -COO, and C-O-C) between the EPS isolated from the three strains.

Background: Ochratoxin A is a nephrotoxin which may occur in wines characterised by higher pH than the average. In the last decades the mechanisms responsible for ochratoxin A reduction by lactic acid bacteria have been investigated and identified as mainly cell walls adsorption and / or enzymatic conversion to ochratoxin-α, a non-toxic metabolite. Since lactic acid bacteria are involved in the malolactic fermentation during the wine-making process, selected starter cultures could be exploited to guarantee safe ochratoxin A level in wines also from contaminated grapes. A lactic acid bacteria strain (Lactobacillus plantarum V22) was previously selected for its ability of both degrading ochratoxin A and carrying out malolactic fermentation at high pH. Objective: This study was aimed at assessing if the selected L. plantarum strain, can reduce ochratoxin A because it can use it as a carbon source. Methods: L. plantarum V22 was grown in the presence of ochratoxin A in two different synthetic substrates, with or without malic acid, monitoring the reduction of ochratoxin A and the presence of ochratoxin α as an indicator for a toxin enzymatic hydrolysis. The presence of residual not hydrolysed ochratoxin A bound to the bacteria cell walls was also evaluated to quantify the ochratoxin A removal due to simple adsorption. Result: A significant reduction of 19.5 ± 2.0% in ochratoxin A concentration was observed only in the presence of malic acid. The quantified fraction of ochratoxin A adsorbed on cell walls was irrelevant and the metabolite ochratoxin α could not be detected. Conclusion: There is a possibility that L. plantarum V22 can degrade ochratoxin A through a not yet identified metabolic pathway.

The effects of different strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) inoculation on the fermentation rates and qualities of moo som, a traditional Thai fermented pork, were evaluated. Lactobacillus plantarum KL102 (spontaneous starter) and L. plantarum TISIR543 (commercial starter) were used as starter cultures in the production of moo som. The decreased amounts of Staphylococcus aureus and coliforms in moo som inoculated with L. plantarum KL102 were at faster rates than those in Moo som inoculated with L. plantarum TISIR543. However, the final products of moo som inoculated with both LAB starters did not find S. aureus or and coliform loadings. Inoculation of both LAB starters could control growth of yeast in samples during fermentation. Furthermore, both starter cultures exhibited a higher rate of fermentation than the control (without inoculum), as demonstrated by the faster rate pH drop and acid production (p < 0.05) during fermentation, while the fermentation of all samples were completed within 3 d. Due to higher acid production rate, texture, and especially hardness, gumminess and chewiness of inoculated moo som were higher than control moo som in the final products (p < 0.05). From the results, the inoculation of LAB starter was more beneficial in color and in overall sensory evaluation (p < 0.05). The overall quality was positively correlated with the color, odor, and texture of moo som (p < 0.01). Based on microbiological and physicochemical qualities and sensory evaluation, KL102 is a potential LAB starter for moo som production.
