The purpose of this study was to examine the isolation of indigenous lactic acid bacteria (LAB) with functional properties from Spanish-style cv. Chalkidiki green olive processing wastewaters (GOW). Predominant indigenous LAB could serve as bioaugmentation agents/starter culture for table olives production and protected designation of origin specification. Spontaneous fermentation of fresh GOW over different temperatures (15 °C to 50 °C) and pH values (3.5 to 11.5) for 30 d enabled the isolation/molecular identification of the lactic acid bacterium Enterococcus casseliflavus and the plant-associated bacterium Bacillus amyloliquefaciens subsp. plantarum. E. casseliflavus was found to reduce chemical oxygen demand by 72%. Its resistance to extreme pH values, salinity, and temperature was successfully modeled and the minimum inhibitory concentration of oleuropein against the bacterial growth was determined (0.9 g/L). Furthermore, hydroxytyrosol content was doubled (up to 553 mg/L) after GOW spontaneous fermentation under acidic conditions at 15 °C to 30 °C for 120 d, creating an additional source of input. These results highlight the significance and potential of E. casseliflavus in Spanish-style cv. Chalkidiki green olive processing.

Grape Cultivars

Grapes are a source of native yeasts and lactic acid bacteria (LAB); however, the microbial make up is dependent on the grape cultivar and the regional growth conditions. Therefore, the aim of this study was to characterize the yeast and LAB in seven grape cultivars cultivated in Chile. Grape juices were fermented at 25 °C for 7 days. Samples were collected to analyze sugar, organic acids, and ethanol. Microbial evolution was measured with culture-dependent and molecular approaches. Then, a native isolated Candida oleophila was selected for further sequential fermentations with Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The grape cultivars in the Maule showed a diversity of non-Saccharomyces yeasts, with a greater diversity observed at the beginning of the fermentation. However, species from the Hansenasporia, Metschnikowia, Torulaspora, Lachancea, and Candida genera were detected after 7 days, suggesting tolerance to environments rich in ethanol, capability may be associated to the terroir studied, which is characterized by torrid weather and antique and traditional vineyards. The alcoholic fermentation negatively impacted the LAB population, and after 7 days only Leuconostoc mesenteroides was isolated. In the sequential fermentations, C. oleophila was able to produce fermented grape juices with <1.5 g/L glucose, 12.5% (v/v) alcohol, and low concentrations of malic (<1.00 g/L) and succinic (2.05 g/L) acids, while acetic acid reached values >0.3 (g/L). To our knowledge this is the first time C. oleophila has been reported as a potential starter culture for wine production. However, more studies are necessary to fully characterize the potential of C. oleophila on wine attributes.

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 Matrix

The development of industrial fermentation food could not separate with the availability of culture starter that suffice to support its production. Dried starter can be an option to use in fermentation industry because it can be stored for longer time without rejuvenation. However, in the process of production of dried starter needs the matrix to maintain cell viability, economically and availability of raw material. This research was conducted to use selected dried starter of indigenous lactic acid bacteria by using sour cassava starch matrix. Eleven local isolates lactic acid bacteria isolates from spontaneous fermentation of carbohydrates commodity were selected based on their acid production capabilities and antibiotics susceptibilities. Isolate of E 1222 showed the best result and was identified as Pediococcus pentosaceus. The isolate was encapsulated with sour cassava starch matrix for making dried starter by using freeze dryer and spray dryer. Freeze dried starter culture could maintained the cell viability higher than spray dried starter culture i.e 10.34 log CFU/g and 8.91 log CFU/g, respectively. Finally, freeze dried starter culture could maintain the percentage of cell viability until 89.38% during four-weeks storage at 4 oC.

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.

Fermented Sausages

The revalorization of food processing by-products not only reduces the environmental impact of their disposal, but also generates added economic value. Cava lees consist of inactive cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and though regarded as a valueless winery by-product, they are rich in fiber and phenolic compounds. In this study, a challenge test was performed to assess the effect of cava lees and a phenolic extract (LPE) derived therefrom on the behaviour of technological microbiota (lactic acid bacteria used as a starter culture) and the foodborne pathogens Salmonella spp. and Listeria monocytogenes during the fermentation and ripening of pork sausages. Ten batches of fermented sausages were prepared with and without cava lees or the LPE, and with or without different strains of Latilactobacillus sakei (CTC494 or BAP110). The addition of cava lees reduced the pH values of the meat batter throughout the fermentation and ripening process. No growth-promoting effect on spontaneous lactic acid bacteria (LAB) or the starter culture was observed. In contrast, the presence of cava lees prevented the growth of the tested pathogens (Salmonella and L. monocytogenes), as did the starter culture, resulting in significantly lower counts compared to the control batch. In addition, the combination of cava lees with L. sakei CTC494 had a bactericidal effect on Salmonella. LPE supplementation did not affect the pH values or LAB counts but reduced the mean counts of Salmonella, which were 0.71 log10 lower than the control values at the end of the ripening. The LPE did not exert any additional effect to that of the starters applied alone. The revalorization of cava lees as a natural ingredient to improve the microbiological safety of fermented sausages is a feasible strategy that would promote a circular economy and benefit the environment.

Chinese Baijiu is principally produced through a spontaneous fermentation process, which involves complex microorganism communities. Among them, yeasts and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are important communities. The study examined the isolated strains from fermented grains of Baijiu regarding their activity of α-amylase and glucoamylase, ethanol tolerance, glucose utilization, as well as metabolite production in the process of laboratory-scale sorghum-based fermentation. Selected strains (Saccharomycopsis fibuligera 12, Saccharomyces cerevisiae 3, and Pediococcus acidilactici 4) were blended in different combinations. The influence of selected strains on the metabolic variation in different semi-solid fermentations was investigated by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) accompanied by multivariate statistical analysis. According to the principal component analysis (PCA), the metabolites produced varied in different mixtures of pure cultures. S. fibuligera produced various enzymes, particularly α-amylase and glucoamylase, and exhibited a better performance compared with other species regarding the ability to convert starch to soluble sugars and positively affect the production process of volatile compounds. S. cerevisiae had a high fermentation capacity, thereby contributing to substrates utilization. Lactic acid bacteria had a good ability to produce lactic acid. This study attaches importance to the special functions of S. fibuligera, S. cerevisiae, and P. acidilactici in Chinese Baijiu making, and investigates their metabolic characteristics in the process of lab-scale semi-solid fermentation.

Table olives are one of the most established Mediterranean vegetables, having an exponential increase consumption year by year. In the natural-style processing, olives are produced by spontaneous fermentation, without any chemical debittering. This natural fermentation process remains empirical and variable since it is strongly influenced by physicochemical parameters and microorganism presence in olive drupes. In the present work, Cypriot green cracked table olives were processed directly in brine (natural olives), using three distinct methods: spontaneous fermentation, inoculation with lactic acid bacteria at a 7% or a 10% NaCl concentration. Sensory, physicochemical, and microbiological alterations were monitored at intervals, and major differences were detected across treatments. Results indicated that the predominant microorganisms in the inoculated treatments were lactic acid bacteria, while yeasts predominated in control. As a consequence, starter culture contributed to a crucial effect on olives fermentation, leading to faster acidification and lower pH. This was attributed to a successful lactic acid fermentation, contrasting the acetic and alcoholic fermentation observed in control. Furthermore, it was established that inhibition of enterobacteria growth was achieved in a shorter period and at a significantly lower salt concentration, compared to the spontaneous fermentation. Even though no significant variances were detected in terms of the total phenolic content and antioxidant capacity, the degradation of oleuropein was achieved faster in inoculated treatments, thus, producing higher levels of hydroxytyrosol. Notably, the reduction of salt concentration, in combination with the use of starter, accented novel organoleptic characteristics in the final product, as confirmed from a sensory panel; hence, it becomes obvious that the production of Cypriot table olives at reduced NaCl levels is feasible.

Astriani A, Diniyah N, Jayus J, Nurhayati N. 2018. Phenotypic identification of indigenous fungi and lactic acid bacteria isolated from ’gatot’ an Indonesian fermented food. Biodiversitas 19: 947-954. As a traditional Indonesian food made from cassava, ‘gatot' has special attracted characters of black appearance and chewy texture, mainly as a result of certain fungi and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) during the spontaneous fermentation. However, many producers were failed to gain these typical properties since much unwanted microbial strain often appears during the spontaneous fermentation. Therefore, this study was conducted to isolate and identify the indigenous fungi and LAB which predominantly contributed in fermentation of cassava during ‘gatot’ production. Fungi and LAB were isolated from conventionally made of the ‘gatot’ followed by the phenotypic identification of the isolates based on the morphological and physiological properties. The fungi isolates were morphologically distinguished by the type of mycelia, the shape, and color of the sporangium, while the LAB strains were identified by the type of cell and colony form. In addition, the physiological behavior of the LAB isolates was characterized by their typical growth temperature, its catalase activity and its fermentation profile using BBL crystal kit test. The predominant fungi isolates were identified as Botryodiplodia theobromae, Rhizopus oligosporus, Trichoderma sp. and Aspergillus niger. B. theobromae had greyish white to black color of mycelia when it mature. R. oligosporus had globose sporangium and blackish grey color of the mature mycelia. Trichoderma sp. had green color of the mature sporangium and mycelia. A. niger had yellow color of the mycelia and black color of sporangium. Meanwhile, the indigenous LAB was majority identified as Lactobacillus manihotivorans, Bacillus licheniformis, Brevibacillus brevis and Lactobacillus fermentum. Those bacteria were gram-positive, rods shape, catalase-negative and grew optimally at 37oC. The LAB also arise frequently in many spontaneously fermented food. B. theobromae, R. oligosporus, L. manihotivorans, and L. fermentum were potential and non-pathogenic microbial, which can be used as a starter culture to produce ‘gatot’ under controlled fermentation process.
