The baking of sourdough breads represents one of the oldest biotechnological processes. Despite traditionality, sourdough bread has great potential because of its benefits. Sourdough is a mixture of flour and water that is dominated by a complex microflora composed of yeasts and lactic acid bacteria that are crucial in the preparation of bread dough. Lactic acid bacteria cause acidification by producing lactic acid that increases the shelf life of bread by preventing the growth of undesirable microorganisms and affects the nutritional value of bread by increasing the availability of minerals. In addition to these advantages, the use of sourdough fermentation also improves dough machinability, breadcrumb structure and the characteristic flavour of bread. Lactic acid bacteria in sourdough fermentation are well known representing both homofermentative and heterofermentative bacteria. They may originate from selected natural contaminants in the flour or from a starter culture containing one or more known species of lactic acid bacteria. Sourdough can be cultivated in bakeries or obtained from commercial suppliers. However, many bakeries in Europe still use spontaneously fermented sourdoughs, which have been kept metabolically active for decades by the addition of flour and water at regular intervals. The impact of lactic acid bacteria on sourdough fermentation and their influence on dough and bread quality was discussed on the basis of research and literature data.

ABSTRACT The changes of people consumtion patterns demands a healthier bread product and tends to be organic food without use synthetic food additives that brings various consequences to health. This condition leads to the development of food additives which has effectiveness equivalent to synthetic food additive but safe for health especially if consumed long term. Lactic acid bacteria is a bacteria that hass been widely used in fermented food production process. Making bread using lactic acid bacteria begins with sourdough or acid dough consisting of flour and water fermented with lactic acid bacteria either derived from a particular natural contaminant from flour or from a starter culture containing one or more known lactic acid bacteria. Various product of actic acid bacteria metabolism such as lactic acid, acetic acid, exopollysaccharide and antimicrobial compounds such as bacteriocin make lactic acid bacteria application in baking process have to the potential to improve microbiological quality and bread shelf-life. This research aims to study the effect of lactic acid bacteria addition as a natural preservative in the baking process. The ability of lactic acid bacteria to evolve naturally from fermented flour and water promises the potential for easy sourdough preparation and can be used continuously as  a natural preservative that will save production cost. The parameters to be determined include evaluation of lactic acid bacteria and yeast growth on dough and determination of moisture content as well as total bacteris, mold and E.coli an bread. Key words: bread, lactic acid bacteria, preservatives, shelf-life, food safety ABSTRAK Pergeseran pola konsumsi masyarakat menuntut adanya produk roti yang lebih sehat dan cenderung bersifat organik tanpa penggunaan Bahan Tambahan Makanan (BTM) sintetis yang membawa berbagai konsekuensi terhadap kesehatan. Kondisi ini mengarah pada berkembangnya pencarian BTM yang memiliki efektifitas yang setara dengan BTM sintetis namun aman bagi kesehatan terutama jika dikonsumsi jangka panjang. Bakteri Asam Laktat (BAL) merupakan golongan bakteri yang telah digunakan secara luas dalam proses produksi makanan fermentasi. Pembuatan roti menggunakan BAL diawali dengan sourdough atau adonan asam yang terdiri atas tepung dan air yang difermentasi dengan BAL baik yang berasal dari  kontaminan alami tertentu dari tepung atau dari suatu kultur starter yang mengandung satu atau lebih BAL yang sudah diketahui jenisnya. Berbagai produk hasil metabolisme BAL seperti asam laktat, asam asetat, eksopolisakarida dan senyawa antimikroba seperti bakteriosin menjadikan aplikasi BAL pada proses pembuatan roti berpotensi meningkatkan kualitas mikrobiologis dan daya simpan roti. Penelitian ini secara khusus bertujuan untuk mempelajari pengaruh penambahan BAL sebagai pengawet alami dalam proses pembuatan roti. Kemampuan BAL untuk berkembang secara alami dari tepung dan air yang difermentasi menjanjikan potensi penyediaan sourdough yang mudah dibuat dan dapat digunakan secara kontinyu sebagai pengawet alami sehingga akan menghemat biaya produksi. Parameter yang akan ditentukan meliputi evaluasi pertumbuhan BAL dan yeast pada adonan dan penentuan kadar air serta total bakteri, kapang dan E. coli pada roti.   Kata kunci: roti, bakteri asam laktat, pengawet, daya simpan, keamanan pangan.

AbstractSugarcane molasses are considered a potential source for bioethanol’s commercial production because of its availability and low market price. It contains high concentrations of fermentable sugars that can be directly metabolized by microbial fermentation. Heterofermentative lactic acid bacteria, especially Lactiplantibacillus casei, have a high potential to be a biocatalyst in ethanol production that they are characterized by strong abilities of carbohydrate metabolism, ethanol synthesis, and high alcohol tolerance. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of producing ethanol by Lactiplantibacillus casei used the ethanologen engineering strain L. casei E1 as a starter culture and cane molasses as substrate medium. The effects of environmental factors on the metabolism of L. casei E1 were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system, and the gene expression of key enzymes in carbon source metabolism was detected using quantitative real-time PCR (RT–qPCR). Results showed that the strain could grow well, ferment sugar quickly in cane molasses. By fermenting this bacterium anaerobically at 37 °C for 36 h incubation in 5 °BX molasses when the fermenter’s pH was controlled at 6.0, ethanol yield reached 13.77 g/L, and carbohydrate utilization percentage was 78.60%. RT-qPCR results verified the strain preferentially ferment glucose and fructose of molasses to ethanol at the molecular level. In addition, the metabolism of sugars, especially fructose, would be inhibited by elevating acidity. Our findings support the theoretical basis for exploring Lactic acid bacteria as a starter culture for converting sugarcane molasses into ethanol.

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.

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.

Broccoli (Brassica oleracea Italica) was fermented by cultures of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) as a potential source of natural folic acid. This study aimed to evalte characteristic changes and to identify folate compounds from broccoli extract, fermented by mixed LAB cultures (L. bulgaricus, S. thermophulus, L.acidophilus, Bd. bifidum). The formulation of broccoli extract was fermented with variation of LAB starter culture with concentrations of 10 and 20%(v/v), and the change of characteristic of folic acid compound during fermentation (0 to 48 hours) with an interval of 8 hours was evaluated. The results showed that the fermentation of broccoli extract with different concentration of LAB culture had an effect on the concentration of folic acid produced, as well as the change of concentration of folic acid during the fermentation time interval. The optimum condition was obtained based on the highest folic acid concentration of 6.74%, at culture concentration of 20% during 24 hour fermentation with the value of folic acid concentration of 72.11 μg/mL, pH value of 4.29, total sugars of 34.61%, total acids of 0, 97%, dissolved protein of 14.64 mg/mL and total LAB of log 13.02 + 0.05 cfu / ml.
