Yoghurt was prepared with addition of 2, 4 and 6 % goji berry fruits with respect to yoghurt mass. From the data on the titratable and active acidity, it can be summarized that the addition of goji berry fruits did not exert effect on the dynamic of acidification and proper course of the lactic acid fermentation in the yoghurts obtained. At the end of the storage periods of the yoghurts containing or not containing goji berry fruits, the active acidity reached up to pH 4,1÷4,3 and the titratable acidity – up to 140÷ 44 oТ. It was found that the addition of dry goji berry fruits improves the syneresis and protects the product from stratification. The lowest syneresis values were observed for sample S3 - 4,1 cm3. The goji berry fruits did not affect the vital activity of the lactic acid bacteria. At the end of the storage period (14 days), the highest number of viable lactic acid bacteria was established in sample S2 - 3,6.108 CFU.g-2. This makes the yoghurt obtained beneficial and possessing certain effect on health.

On the frame of this research survey, a novel potentially probiotic strain (Lactobacillus paracasei SP5) recently isolated from kefir grains was evaluated for chokeberry juice fermentation. Chokeberry juice was retrieved from the variety Aronia melanocarpa, a plant known to provide small, dark berries and to be one of the richest sources of antioxidants. The juice was subsequently fermented inoculating L. paracasei SP5 for 48 h at 30 °C. The fermented juices were left at 4 °C and tested regarding microbiological and physicochemical characteristics for 4 weeks. The potentially probiotic strain was proved capable of performing lactic acid fermentation at 30 °C. Cell viability of L. paracasei was detected in high levels during fermentation and the whole storage period, while the fermented juice showed higher levels of viability in juice with 40.3 g/L of initial sugar concentration. No ethanol was detected in the final fermented juice. Fermented chokeberry juice was characterized by aromatic desirable volatiles, which were retained in adequate levels for the whole storage period. Specifically, the occurrence of organic esters detected in fermented juices is considered as positive evidence of the provision of fruity and floral notes to the final product. During storage, total phenolics content and antioxidant activity were observed in higher levels in fermented chokeberry juice compared with non-fermented juice. Subsequently, fermentation of chokeberry juice by potentially probiotic lactic acid bacteria could provide high industrialization potential, providing the market with a nutritional beverage of good volatile quality with an enhanced shelf-life compared with an unfermented fresh juice.

Acid Fermentation

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.

This study aimed to establish the effects of lactic fermentation on the levels of β-carotene in selected  orange fleshed sweet potato (OFSP) varieties from Kenya.  Furthermore,it sought to demonstrate fermentation as a potential process for making new products from sweet potato with enhanced nutraceutical attributes. The varieties (Zapallo, Nyathiodiewo and SPK004/06) were fermented with Lactobacillus plantarum MTCC 1407 at 25 ± 2°C for 48 h and kept for 28 days to make lacto-pickles. During fermentation both analytical [pH, titratable acidity (TA), lactic acid (LA), starch, total sugar, reducing sugar (g/kg roots), texture (N/m2), β-carotene (mg/kg roots)] and sensory (texture, taste, flavour and after taste) attributes of sweet potato lacto-juice were evaluated. Process conditions were optimized by varying brine levels, with fermentation time. A UV-visible spectrophotometer was used to identify and quantify β-carotene. Any significant variations (p < 0.05) in analytical attributes between the fermented and unfermented samples (pH, LA, TA and β-carotene concentration) of lacto-pickles, prepared from the potato roots, were assessed. The study reported a final composition of 156.49mg/kg, 0.53mg/kg, 0.3N/m2, 1.3g/kg, 5.86g/kg, 0.5g/kg and 5.86g/kg for β-carotene, Ascorbic acid, texture; Starch, total sugars, LA and TA respectively, and a pH of 3.27. The fermented products were subjected to flavour profiling by a panel. The product sensory scores were 1.5 to 2.5 on a 5 point hedonic scale, ranging from dislike slightly to like much. The products with brine levels at 4 and 6% were most preferred. The retention of β-carotene was 93.97%. This demonstrated lactic acid fermentation as a better method for processing OFSP as the main nutritional attributes are retained. The final product was resistant to spoilage microorganisms after 28 days of fermentation. Further preservation could be obtained by addition of sodium metabisulphite. In conclusion, Lactic acid fermentation using L. plantarum is a novel method of producing Lacto pickles from Zapallo OFSP, with 93.97% β-carotene retention and adequate shelf life.

The Cost

Biodegradable polylactic acid material is manufactured from lactic acid, mainly produced by microbial fermentation. The high production cost of lactic acid still remains the major limitation for its application, indicating that the cost of carbon sources for the production of lactic acid has to be minimized. In addition, a lack of source availability of food crop and lignocellulosic biomass has encouraged researchers and industries to explore new feedstocks for microbial lactic acid fermentation. Seaweeds have attracted considerable attention as a carbon source for microbial fermentation owing to their non-terrestrial origin, fast growth, and photoautotrophic nature. The proximate compositions study of red, brown, and green seaweeds indicated that Gracilaria sp. has the highest carbohydrate content. The conditions were optimized for the saccharification of the seaweeds, and the results indicated that Gracilaria sp. yielded the highest reducing sugar content. Optimal lactic acid fermentation parameters, such as cell inoculum, agitation, and temperature, were determined to be 6% (v/v), 0 rpm, and 30 °C, respectively. Gracilaria sp. hydrolysates fermented by lactic acid bacteria at optimal conditions yielded a final lactic acid concentration of 19.32 g/L.

Critical Overview

Grains are a substantial source of macronutrients and energy for humans. Lactic acid (LA) fermentation is the oldest and most popular way to improve the functionality, nutritional value, taste, appearance and safety of cereal foods and reduce the energy required for cooking. This literature review discusses lactic acid fermentation of the most commonly used cereals and pseudocereals by examination of the microbiological and biochemical fundamentals of the process. The study provides a critical overview of the indispensable participation of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in the production of many traditional, ethnic, ancient and modern fermented cereals and beverages, as the analysed literature covers 40 years. The results reveal that the functional aspects of LAB fermented foods are due to significant molecular changes in macronutrients during LA fermentation. Through the action of a vast microbial enzymatic pool, LAB form a broad spectrum of volatile compounds, bioactive peptides and oligosaccharides with prebiotic potential. Modern applications of this ancient bioprocess include the industrial production of probiotic sourdough, fortified pasta, cereal beverages and “boutique” pseudocereal bread. These goods are very promising in broadening the daily menu of consumers with special nutritional needs.

Amaranth is a rediscovered pseudocereal with high nutritional properties. Lactic acid fermentation can increase the functional and nutritional value of foods. The aims of this study were to isolate and evaluate the functionality of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from amaranth. LAB strains (<i>n</i> = 29) isolated from amaranth sourdough and grains included <i>Lactobacillus</i> (<i>L.</i>) <i>plantarum</i> (<i>n</i> = 8), <i>L. rhamnosus</i> (<i>n</i> = 6), <i>Enterococcus</i> (<i>E.</i>) <i>mundtii</i> (<i>n</i> = 4), <i>E. hermanniensis</i> (<i>n</i> = 3), <i>E. durans</i> (<i>n</i> = 1), <i>Enterococcus</i> sp. (<i>n</i> = 1), <i>Leuconostoc</i> (<i>Lc.</i>) <i>mesenteroides</i> (<i>n</i> = 3), and <i>Lc. mesenteroides </i>subsp<i>. mesenteroides </i>(<i>n</i> = 3). Only 21% of the strains showed the ability to synthesize capsular exopolysaccharides or display ropiness and only 8 strains showed amylolytic activity. <i>L. plantarum </i>CRL 2106 and <i>E. durans </i>CRL 2122 showed the highest phytase activity, which is of importance for mineral bioavailability. <i>L. plantarum </i>CRL 2106 and CRL 2107 and <i>Lc. mesenteroides </i>subsp.<i> mesenteroides</i> CRL 2131 synthesized the highest concentrations of B<sub>2</sub> and B<sub>9</sub> vitamin (140-250 ng/mL). This study demonstrates the potential of LAB to improve the nutritional and functional values of pseudocereal-derived foods.

Triticale stillage is a by-product of the bioethanol production. A research was conducted in order to see if triticale stillage is adequate for lactic acid bacteria growth and lactic acid fermentation. Three Lactobacillus strains: Lactobacillus fermentum NRRL-B-75624, Lactobacillus fermentum PL-1, and Lactobacillus plantarum PL-4 were taken in consideration. Lactic acid fermentation was monitored by measuring pH value and titratable acidity. Lactobacillus fermentum PL-1 had the greatest decrease of pH values and rise of titratable acidity so it was chosen for future work. During the research, it was investigated how nutrient composition of triticale stillage and CaCO3 influence lactic acid fermentation and CaCO3 role in cell protection. The nutrient composition of triticale stillage was satisfactory for lactic acid fermentation. The addition of CaCO3 helped in lactic acid fermentation. Although the titratable acidity in the samples with CaCO3 was lower then in the samples without CaCO3, the number of viable cells was higher for the samples with CaCO3, which showed that CaCO3 protected lactic acid cells from inhibition by lactic acid.

Lactic acid fermentation was evaluated as a method to preserve fish and chicken by-products. Herring (Clupea harengus) by-products (viscera and heads) and chicken by-products (heads, viscera, feathers, feet and discarded whole chickens) were minced, mixed with 5% dextrose and inoculated with 108 colony forming units (cfu)/g of four different lactic acid bacteria cultures. The by-product was fermented at 25°C and evaluated for pH, % produced lactic acid, redox potential and odour during four weeks' storage. In herring offal, pH decreased from 6.8 to 4.2 in one week and stabilized at about 4.3. In the same time, 2.0% to 3.2% lactic acid was produced and concentrations stabilized from 2.5% to 4.0%. In chicken offal, pH decreased to a stable level of 4.4, and 3.2% lactic acid was produced after one week of fermentation. A negative and stable redox potential was achieved after one week of fermentation in both herring and chicken offal.
