Twenty-three lactic acid bacteria (LAB) previously isolated from tchapalo process were evaluated as single starter cultures for traditional Ivoirian beverages production. These LAB were inoculated separately into sorghum wort and fermented at 30 °C for 12 h. During fermentations, pH, titratable acidity, and LAB growth were determined. After that, the six better bacteria had been used to produce controlled sour wort, sweet wort and tchapalo. Then, pH, titratable acidity, total soluble solids, and organic acids were analyzed. Their antimicrobial activities also were tested. Within 6 h of fermentation, out of twenty-three bacteria, only six (26.08%) of strains namely L. fermentum strains S6, S42 and S45, P. acidilactici strains S7 and S52 and P. pentosaceus strain S5 accelerated fermentation by dropping of ΔpH to ≥ 1.5 units and increasing of ΔAT to ≥ 0.15%. Lactobacillus fermentum strain S6 carried out his exponential growth rate from 0.18 log CFU/mL to 2.67 log CFU/mL during 2 to 6 h. The sour wort obtained by using of these strains were like those of controls. Tartaric and lactic acids were detected in all the fermented beverages with single starter cultures with a predominance of lactic acid, but their contents varied according to starter cultures. Some sweet wort and tchapalo produced with single starter cultures were able to inhibit the growth of Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi and Staphylococcus aureus. These six LAB would be used single to improve safety of sweet wort and tchapalo.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
