Lactobacillus sakei é comprovadamente uma cepa produtora de bacteriocinas e, neste estudo, procurou-se observar seus efeitos na fermentação de filés de sardinha ( Sardinella brasiliensis) em diferentes concentrações de NaCl e glicose. Verificou-se sua habilidade para produzir ácidos orgânicos e conseqüente redução do pH durante 21 dias de fermentação. Ao término desse período, a concentração de microrganismos deterioradores atingiu 9,7 log UFC g-1 correspondente a 6% de NaCl e 4% de glicose. Poucas diferenças foram observadas na produção de ácido lático quando se adicionou 2 e 4% de glicose, já que a acidez total foi 1,32 e 1,34%, respectivamente, para os experimentos com 6% de NaCl. O pH 6 inicial dos filés modificou-se ao término de 21 dias para 3,8, 3,9 e 4 nos experimentos com 2, 4 e 6% de NaCl. Tal comportamento pode ser atribuído ao poder inibidor do NaCl sobre a microbiota deterioradora. No término da fermentação, a concentração de bactérias ácido lácticas foi 14,5 log10 UFC g-1. A relação entre o nitrogênio protéico e o nitrogênio solúvel total mostrou-se típica de pescado salgado/curado em perfeitas condições de consumo. EVALUATION OF BACTERIOCINOGENIC ACTIVITY OF Lactobacillus sakei IN THE FERMENTETION OF TRUE SARDINE (Sardinella brasiliensis) BY UTILIZING GLUCOSE AS FERMENTABLE CARBOHYDRATE Abstract Lactobacillus sakei 2a is a bacteriocin producer strain and, in this study, it’s effects as a starter culture in the curing process of sardine ( Sardinella brasiliensis) fillets were observed at different concentrations of sodium chloride and glucose. It’s ability to produce organic acids and pH reduction during 21 days of fermentation was verified. After this period, the deteriorative microbiota concentration reached 9.7 log10 CFU. g-1 corresponding to 6% sodium chloride and 4% glucose. Little differences were observed in lactic acid production when 2 and 4% glucose were added, since total acidity was 1.32 and 1.34% respectively for the experiments with 6% NaCl. Initial pH of fillets was 6 and after 21 days pH values were 3.8, 3.9 and 4 for the experiments with 2, 4 and 6% NaCl. This may have been due to the inhibitory properties of NaCl over the deteriorative microbiota. At the end of the fermentation process lactic acid bacteria concentrations were 14.5 log10 CFU.g-1. The ratio protein nitrogen and total soluble nitrogen was typical of a cured fish under perfect eating conditions.

Lactobacillus sakei 2a is a bacteriocin producer strain and, in this work, it's effects as a starter culture in the fermentation process of sardine (Sardinella brasiliensis) fillets were observed at different concentrations of NaCl (2, 4 and 6%) and glucose (2 and 4%), to determine it's ability to produce organic acids and consequent pH reduction. Experiments were carried out independently, with only one parameter (NaCl or glucose) varying at a time. After 21 days of fermentation the deteriorative bacteria concentration reached 9.7 Log10 CFU. g-1 corresponding to 6% NaCl and 4% glucose. Little differences were observed in lactic acid production when 2 and 4% glucose were added, since total acidity was 1.32 and 1.34% respectively, the experiments with 6% NaCl presented the best results. Initial pH of sardine fillets was 6 and after 21 days pH values were 3.8, 3.9 and 4 for the experiments with 2, 4 and 6% NaCl. This may have been due to the inhibitory properties of NaCl over the deteriorative bacteria. After 21 days of the fermentation process lactic acid bacteria concentrations were 14.5 Log10 CFU.g-1. The ratio protein nitrogen and total soluble nitrogen was typical of a cured fish.

Lactobacillus sakei 2a is a bacteriocin producer strain. In this study, it's effects as a starter culture in the curing process of sardine (Sardinella brasiliensis) fillets were studied at different concentrations of NaCl (2, 4, 6%) and glucose (2, 4%). After 21 days of fermentation, the spoilage microorganisms population reached 9.7 Log10 CFU g-1 corresponding to 6% NaCl and 4% glucose. With no addition of glucose and starter culture, sardine fillets began spoilage 72 hours after fermentation, even when 6% NaCl was used. Little differences were observed in lactic acid production when 2 and 4% glucose were added, since total acidity was 1.32 and 1.34% respectively, the experiments with 6% NaCl presented the best results. Initial pH of sardine fillets was 6.0 and after 21 days pH values were 3.8, 3.9 and 4.0 for the experiments with 2, 4 and 6% NaCl respectively. This could have been due to the inhibitory properties of NaCl over the spoilage microorganisms. After 21 days of the fermentation, the levels of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were 14.5 Log10 CFU.g-1.

The effect of different levels of compression (A1 = 420 gdm-1, A2 = 560 gdm-1) and inoculation (B1 = no inoculant, B2 = with inoculant) on changes in chemical composition, proteolysis and quality of lucerne silage was investigated in this paper. Based on the results of chemical analysis we found that in silages with more compressed material there was a reduction in the amount of ammonia nitrogen, soluble nitrogen and acetic acid, and increased content of protein nitrogen (?true?protein) and production of lactic acid (p<0.05). With the inoculation of the ensiling material the production of ammonia nitrogen and acetic acid was reduced but the content of lactic acid and acidity was increased (p<0.05). The interaction of both investigated factors (A?B) induced a decrease in the proteolysis degree, increase of lactic acid production and decrease in acetic acid production, and decrease in pH values (p<0.001) in investigated silages. The investigated factors had less influence on the chemical composition of lucerne material, and the significant variations were observed in fat and NFE contents. On the basis of this investigation the degree of compression is the most important parameter in ensiling technology. With the adequate compression and reduction of air in the starting material, the aerobic phase is reduced and the activity of proeolytic enzymes is decreased. In practice the special attention should be given to factors on which directly or indirectly the level of compression of ensiled material depends: wilting, cutting, object selection and/or selection of machines used for compression.

Three different split lots of Cheddar cheese curd were prepared with added sodium chloride (NaCl) potassium chloride (KCl) or mixtures of NaCl/KCl (2:1 1:1 1:2 and 3:4 all on wt/wt basis) to achieve a final salt concentration of 1.5 or 1.75%. At intervals during ripening at 3±1°C samples were plated with All-Purpose Tween (APT) and Lactobacillus Selection (LBS) agar. Isolates were obtained of bacteria that predominated on the agar media. In the first trial (Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis plus L. lactis subsp. cremoris served as starter cultures) L. lactis subsp.lactis Lactobacillus casei and other lactobacilli were the predominant bacteria regardless of the salting treatment Received by the cheese. In the second trial (L. lactis subsp. lactis served as the starter culture) unclassified lactococci L. lactis subsp. lactis unclassified lactobacilli and L. casei predominated regardless of the salting treatment given the cheese. In the third trial (L. lactis subsp. cremoris served as the starter culture) unclassified lactococci unclassified lactobacilli L. casei and Pediococcus cerevisiae predominated regardless of the salting treatment applied to the cheese Thus use of KCl to replace some of the NaCl for salting cheese had no detectable effect on the kinds of lactic acid bacteria that developed in ripening Cheddar cheese.

ABSTRACT The use of bacteriocin-producing lactic acid bacteria for improved food fermentation processes seems promising. However, lack of fundamental knowledge about the functionality of bacteriocin-producing strains under food fermentation conditions hampers their industrial use. Predictive microbiology or a mathematical estimation of microbial behavior in food ecosystems may help to overcome this problem. In this study, a combined model was developed that was able to estimate, from a given initial situation of temperature, pH, and nutrient availability, the growth and self-inhibition dynamics of a bacteriocin-producing Lactobacillus sakei CTC 494 culture in (modified) MRS broth. Moreover, the drop in pH induced by lactic acid production and the bacteriocin activity toward Listeria as an indicator organism were modeled. Self-inhibition was due to the depletion of nutrients as well as to the production of lactic acid. Lactic acid production resulted in a pH drop, an accumulation of toxic undissociated lactic acid molecules, and a shift in the dissociation degree of the growth-inhibiting buffer components. The model was validated experimentally.

The liquid pineapple waste contain mainly sucrose, glucose, fructose, and other nutrients. It therefore can potentiall be used as carbon source for organic acid fermentation. Recently, lactic acid has been considered to be an important raw material for production of biodegradadable lactace polymer. The experiments weree carried out in shake flash fermentation using lactobacillus delbroeckii. Effect of some parameters such as temperature, initial Ph, initial substrate concentration, yeast extract concentration and fermentation time to the yield have been studied. The highest yield was 85.65% achieved at 40 0C, PH 6.00, 52.2 g/l sugar concentration with 5 g/l yeast extract. There was no significant increasing in lactic acid production was observed if supplementation of yeast extract above 10%.Keyword : lactic acid fermentation, liquid pineapple waste, lactobacillus delbrueckii

The present research aimed at determining the optimal conditions for the lactic acid fermentation of green Spanish-style table olives. The work is a follow-up, and focuses on the performance of the commercial starter strain Lactobacillus pentosus OM13 by applying an acclimatization step and the addition of nutrients, and concentrations of lactic acid that were previously investigated. The acclimatization of the cells warranted the dominance of the starter culture even at an inoculation level of 2 Log cycles lower than that commonly used in standard fermentation. A significant effect was found in terms of acidification kinetics within the first week of fermentation, with the highest decrease in pH, at ~2.5 units, which occurred in the trial and after inoculation with 106 CFU/mL of starter after acclimatation (EO3) that showed values similar to control C obtained with Lactobacillus pentosus OM13 at a concentration of 107 CFU/mL. After day 3, further decreases in pH of up to 4.30 were observed until day 30, and then these values remained almost constant until the end of process (day 190) when lower pH values were reached for trial EO3 and control C. The results of microbiological dynamics, the changes in VOCs and finally the effect of the processes on the sensory analysis of the fermented product were investigated by multivariate analysis. The acclimatization process and the initial inoculation level influenced the bacterial microflora, aromatic compounds and organoleptic characteristics of the final product. Finally, the trials C, EO2 and EO3 showed higher values (60-80%) of preferences and satisfaction compared to other experimental productions.

SummaryProduction of diacetyl and acetoin by starters in cold skim-milk and cream was shown to increase with increase in the proportion of starter culture added, with some limitations at the higher rates of starter addition.With Streptococcus diacetilactis starter in skim-milk at 50°F the relation between proportion of starter added and production of diacetyl was linear up to addition at the 4% level, whereas at 43°F it was approximately linear up to the 10% level. At both 50 and 43°F the relation between the proportion of starter added and the production of acetoin was linear up to the 10% level.With Camb starter in skim-milk at both 50 and 43°F there were regular increases in production of diacetyl up to the 4% level of addition, but only minor changes thereafter with increase in the proportion of starter added up to 10%. At both temperatures the maximum production of acetoin was reached with the 7% rate of addition.Production of diacetyl and acetoin in skim-milk was greater at 50°F than at 43°F with both starters for all proportions up to 10%, and it was greater for Str. diacetilactis than for the mixed cultures.Except at the higher rates of addition of starter and at the higher temperature there were no concomitant increases in the acidity of the milk or lowering of the pH values. It appears that at low temperatures production of diacetyl by starters in sweet milk and cream proceeds independently of production of lactic acid.Similar results were obtained in a series of experimental buttermaking trials and some small commercial-scale trials, in which varying proportions of starter were added to creams after pasteurizing and before holding overnight for churning. With the cream-holding temperatures used, mainly 40–50°F, the pH values of the butters were not appreciably lowered by the starter additions to the cream. At all the rates of addition there were with Str. diacetilactis starter higher contents of diacetyl in the butter than with Camb starter. There was no indication of any relationship between the proportion of starter added and the keeping quality of the butter.

The traditional yogurt starter, i.e. Staphylococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus, has always been used to bring about the lactic acid fermentation during manufacture of concentrated yogurt known in Egypt as “Labneh”. Different combinations of some strains of Enterococcus faecalis, isolated from Laban Rayeb (a type of fermented milk), in combination with a certain strain of Lactobacillus bulgaricus were used to produce a Labneh-like product. Chemical, microbiological and organoleptic properties of the Labneh-like product were assessed and compared to the characteristics of Labneh processed traditionally by two different dairy plants in Egypt. All treatments showed similar changes during storage at 5 ± 1°C for 28 d. Total solids, fat, titratable acidity and pH values coincided with those of Labneh. Some components increased until the seventh day, i.e. acetaldehyde and diacetyl, while other features, such as the ratio of soluble nitrogen/total nitrogen and tyrosine, increased until the fourteenth day of storage. Thereafter, no marked variations occurred. However, a decrease in tryptophan content of all products occurred during the storage period. Total viable count and count of lactic acid bacteria of Labneh-like product as well as Labneh increased until the end of the second week of storage and then decreased. Coliforms, yeasts and molds and psychrotrophic bacteria were detected in some fresh and stored samples. The starter culture which consisted of 1.5% Enterococcus faecalis 19 and 1.5% Enterococcus faecalis 22 was used successfully to manufacture a Labneh-like product with high acceptability when fresh or refrigerated at 5 ± 1°C.

The preservative effect of fermentation is based on the pH decrease during processing. However, most studies conceming the influence of pH on the formation of biogenic amines have been made in broths with different initial pH values. A histamine- and tyramine-positive Lactobacillus strain isolated from dry sausage was added at an initial level of 3.9- to 4.4-logl0 CFU/ml and incubated on a shaker at room temperature (20.0°C) for 6 days. The pH was decreased in histidine- or tyrosine-fortified MRS broth by adding glucono-delta-lactone (GDL) or lactic acid during the incubation. The external acidification decreased the growth and the production of histamine and tyramine by the strain. GDL was more effective as a preventative than lactic acid. According to these results, a rapid pH decrease resulting in decreased growth of amine-positive lactic acid bacteria in the beginning of fermentation may be a means of preventing the formation of high levels of amines in foods.
