The use of mesophilic lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in the manufacture of Feta cheese was studied. Five selected mesophilic strains, confirmed as Lactobacillus plantarum (2 strains), Lb. paracasei subsp. paracasein Lb. brevis and Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis, isolated from ripened Feta and Teleme cheeses, were used in 7 different combinations, alone or in combination with Lb. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus (the control combination) for the manufacture of Feta cheese. Each combination of strains was used to prepare four different batches of Feta cheese, keeping all the other production parameters according to the traditional technology. The cheese batches were analyzed for bacteriological, chemical and sensory characteristics. The results showed that the populations of lactobacilli and lactococci increased from the beginning of the cheese manufacture reaching a population of more than 7.0 log10cfu/g. This level was maintained during the whole ripening period (60 days) and during the subsequent 60-day storage period. Only in batches prepared with the control combination F8 {Str. thermophilus I Lb. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus), did the population of LAB decline to 6.0 log10cfu/g at the end of the ripening period. Also, except for the yeast population which increased, in all other bacterial groups tested (coliforms, staphylococci, total contaminating bacteria, psychrotrophic bacteria, proteolytic and lipolytic bacteria) populations gradually decreased during the ripening period. Results of the chemical analysis showed a sharp increase in acidity (the cheese pH dropped to ca. 4.5 within 3-4 d) and, whereas the values of other chemical indices (moisture content, fat content and NaCl) were stabilized between the 15* and 30* day of ripening, proteolysis (nitrogen soluble in 12% TCA) and lipolysis (ADV) progressed throughout ripening. The assessment of the overall acceptance by the sensory panel was between "very good" and "excellent" for all cheeses. This suggests that the selected mesophilic starter cultures can be used alone or in combination with the traditional culture {Lb.delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus I Str. thermophilus) in the production of Feta cheese, as the results of this work indicate that the wild (autochthonous) strains of Lb. plantarum and Lc. lactis subsp. Lactis are well adapted to the environmental conditions that prevail in Feta cheese. Batches prepared using these mesophilic starters received the highest score in the assessment of organoleptic quality of Feta cheese. Very good results were also obtained using the combination of the mesophilic starters Lb. brevis and Lc. lactis subsp. lactis or Lb. paracasei subsp. paracasei and Lc. lactis subsp. lactis alone or in combination with Lb. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus and Str. thermophilus.

Initial Storage

To develop the utilization of lactic acid bacteria in Chinese-style sausage, Lactobacillus plantarum and a commercial culture (DS-66) were used as a starter cultures for manufacturing Chinese-style sausage. The products were vacuum packaged and stored at 3 or 25°C. The results showed that the pH value and residual sodium nitrite of the sausage significantly declined as storage time increased (P< 0.05). However, the thiobarbituric acid (TBA) and volatile base nitrogen (VBN) values gradually increased as storage progressed. Lactic acid bacteria propagation increased rapidly during the initial storage time and then decreased slightly after 4 weeks of storage. The sausage inoculated with one of the starter cultures had a lower pH value and could suppress the TBA and VBN values, dissipating residual sodium nitrite, and could inhibit spoilage bacteria during the storage time.

Native Microflora

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.

The article is devoted to the study of the microbial starter cultures preservation during the process of long-term maintenance of the sourdough in the laboratory, as well as the study of the influence of microbiota changes on the physicochemical indicators of the sourdough. The leading role in sourdough is played by lactic acid bacteria and yeast, the quality of the starter culture and bread itself largely depends on the ratio and species diversity of this microorganisms. The strains of L. paracasei / L. casei 5, L. paracasei / L. casei 63, L. plantarum 78 and the yeast C. milleri Chernorechensky are used to prepare sourdough. It was shown that the use of starter cultures of lactic acid bacteria and yeast in the technology of dense rye sourdough leads to the dominance of starter microorganisms and the sourdough production having good biotechnological characteristics already in the first phase of preparinf. However, with long-term maintenance of the sourdough, new species of lactic acid bacteria begin to dominate, which differ from those introduced in first phase. It was found that changes in the starter culture microbiota had a significant effect on the physicochemical indicators of the starter culture quality.

First Time

Fermentation is a very complex dynamic process with numerous chemical, physical, and microbiological changes affecting the quality of the finished product. At present, in the industry starter cultures are practically not used, which leads to large losses of finished products (up to 40 %). The use of starter cultures allows not only to obtain high quality products, but also to significantly reduce production losses. The aim of the research was to study the process of directed fermentation of white cabbage variety "Slava" using strains of lactic acid bacteria and their consortium, taking into account the degree of their mutual influence. The following lactobacilli were used as strains of lactic acid bacteria – Lactobacillus brevis VKM V1309, Lactobacillus plantarum VKM V-578. Experiments were carried out on model media to obtain comparative data. In the process of directional fermentation using strains of lactic acid microorganisms and their consortium for the first time studied the dynamics of changes in quality indicators. Mathematical models developed in the course of research adequately describe the degree of destruction of glucose and fructose during fermentation. The model medium was made of white cabbage (raw material) for research, for this purpose it was subjected to homogenization and sterilization in order to create optimal conditions for the development of the target microflora and to determine the degree of destruction of glucose and fructose by various strains of lactic acid microorganisms. In the process of research, we found that the use of a consortium of lactic acid bacteria (L. brevis + L. plantarum) for this culture medium is impractical, but the addition of fructose in the amount of 0,5% by weight of the model medium can significantly intensify the process of fermentation of white cabbage.

Abstract Purpose Cucumber fermentation is traditionally done using lactic acid bacteria. The involvement of probiotic cultures in food fermentation guarantees enhanced organoleptic properties and protects food from spoilage. Methods Autochthonous lactic acid bacteria were isolated from spontaneously fermented cucumber and identified to species level. Only strains adjudged as safe for human consumption were examined for their technological and functional characteristics. Strain efficiency was based on maintaining high numbers of viable cells during simulated GIT conditions and fermentation, significant antioxidant activity, EPS production, nitrite degradation, and antimicrobial ability against Gram-positive and Gram-negative foodborne pathogens. Result Two strains, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum NPL 1258 and Pediococcus pentosaceus NPL 1264, showing a suite of promising functional and technological attributes, were selected as a mixed-species starter for carrying out a controlled lactic acid fermentations of a native cucumber variety. This consortium showed a faster lactic acid-based acidification with more viable cells, at 4% NaCl and 0.2% inulin (w/v) relative to its constituent strains when tested individually. Sensory evaluation rated the lactofermented cucumber acceptable based on texture, taste, aroma, and aftertaste. Conclusion The results suggest that the autochthonous LAB starter cultures can shorten the fermentation cycle and reduce pathogenic organism’ population, thus improving the shelf life and quality of fermented cucumber. The development of these new industrial starters would increase the competitiveness of production and open the country’s frontiers in the fermented vegetable market.

Abstract Fast acidification is one of the main factors of microbial stability of dry fermented sausages. Development of functional starter cultures for improving safety of sausages without altering their quality is under way. This study compared aspects of physicochemical, technological, hygienic and instrumental quality of sausages produced with or without functional starter culture. Finished sausages with starter had lower water activity and lower levels of enterobacteria and lactic acid bacteria, compared to artisanal ones. During most of the ripening, pH was lower in sausages with starter, but in the final products, the same pH was observed in both groups of sausages. In sausages with starter lower redness was determined than in artisanal sausages, while other parameters, colour and chewiness, did not differ significantly. Use of starter culture improved physicochemical, technological and hygienic characteristics of the final products.
