Fermentation of Vegetable Juices by Lactobacillus Acidophilus LA-5

Metabolic responses of Lactobacillus plantarum strains during fermentation and storage of vegetable and fruit juices.

Strains of Lactobacillus plantarum were grown and stored in cherry (ChJ), pineapple (PJ), carrot (CJ), and tomato (TJ) juices to mimic the chemical composition of the respective matrices. Wheat flour hydrolysate (WFH), whey milk (W), and MRS broth were also used as representatives of other ecosystems. The growth rates and cell densities of L. plantarum strains during fermentation (24 h at 30°C)...

Acid and Bile Tolerance of Probiotic Bacteria Used for Lactic Acid Fermentation of Vegetable Juices

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the probiotic Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis BB-12 with regard to its resistance to simulated gastrointestinal stress. The tested strain was able to survive both in the presence of 0.3% bile salts for 5h and in the acidified MRS broth with pH 2.0 for 2h, the rate of viability being by 78% and 76% respectively. The presence of pepsin with a view ...

Sequence analysis of Leuconostoc mesenteroides bacteriophage Phi1-A4 isolated from an industrial vegetable fermentation.

Vegetable fermentations rely on the proper succession of a variety of lactic acid bacteria (LAB). Leuconostoc mesenteroides initiates fermentation. As fermentation proceeds, L. mesenteroides dies off and other LAB complete the fermentation. Phages infecting L. mesenteroides may significantly influence the die-off of L. mesenteroides. However, no L. mesenteroides phages have been previously gene...
