Abstract:
The present invention relates to the use of phyllosphere-associated lactic acid bacteria that demonstrate inhibitory effects on the growth and maintenance of human pathogens, such as Salmonella enterica , on the surface of food products, particularly fresh fruits and vegetables. Particular strains of Enterococcus avium and Lactococcus lactis are described and detailed for their atypical pathogen-inhibiting phenotypes.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to n aroma milk composition and a method of producing it. Further, the present invention relates to use of the aroma milk composition in the manufacture of a dairy product. Finally, the present invention relates to a new bacterial strain of Lactococcus lactis ssp.lactis.
Abstract:
The invention is concerned with a method for producing a sliced,grated or shredded cheese, wherein the cheese is of the semi-hard or hard type and wherein said cheese is prepared with a starter culture comprising polysaccharide producing lactic acid bacteria. The cheese preferably has a reduced fat content. The sliced or grated cheese advantageously has a reduced tendency to stick or lump together.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for producing cheese with good flavour, especially low-salt cheese by using a lactic acid bacteria (LAB) starter culture which is glutamate decarboxylation (GAD) negative. The method may additionally involve inoculating the milk substrate with a GAD-negative Lb. helveticus strain having a high lytic and peptidolytic activity, which further releases glutamate into the milk. Additional application of camel chymosin reduces bitterness.
Abstract:
A process for fermenting a substrate comprising soy protein and a carbohydrate using two specific strains of mesophilic bacteria, to improve the flavour of the soy protein and foodstuffs containing such.
Abstract:
A storage stable frozen lactic acid bacteria (LAB) culture that comprises LAB that are that are able to utilize sucrose, has a weight of at least 50 g frozen material and a content of vi-able bacteria of at least 10 9 colony forming units (CFU) per g frozen material.
Abstract:
The production of a spray-dried bacteriocin lacticin 3147 powder is described. The powder is shown to have effective anti-microbial activity in a range of foodstuffs, namely infant milk formulations, powdered soup, yoghurt and cottage cheese. Increased anti-microbial activity was demonstrated when the lacticin 3147 powder was used in conjunction with increased hydrostatic pressure. The process comprises: inoculating a medium with a lacticin 3147-producing strain of bacteria, fermenting the inoculated medium, adjusting the pH of the fermentation to 6.3-6.7, inactivating the bacterial fermentate and evaporating the fermentate.
Abstract:
A method for producing a lactic acid bacteria fermented milk product comprising fermenting milk with both inoculated lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and inoculated Bacillus bacteria.
