Applications of Immobilized Lactic Acid Bacteriaa

Production of fermentable media from vine‐trimming wastes and bioconversion into lactic acid by Lactobacillus pentosus

“…For example, Perttunen et al 36 produced 33 g lactic acid l −1 and 17 g acetic acid l −1 from reed hemicellulose liquors obtained in a MILOX process and pretreated with activated charcoal, while Garde et al 2 co‐inoculated Lb pentosus and Lb brevis to increase the lactic acid concentration obtained from hemicellulose hydrolysates of wet‐oxidised wheat straw. Linko et al 37 produced 40 g lactic acid l −1 using wood hydrolysates ( Y P/S = 0.70 g g −1 ), while with commercial glucose and xylose the lactic acid concentration increased up to 90 g l −1 ( Y P/S = 1.80 g g −1 ). McCaskey et al 38 also reported lactic acid production from municipal solid wastes, obtaining concentrations lower than 7.5 g l −1 .…”

Immobilized lactic acid bacteria for application as dairy starters and probiotic preparations

“…Lactic acid bacteria play an essential role in the processing of milk into fermented products such as cheeses or fermented milk because of their technological, nutritional, and eventually therapeutic properties. Some novel processes with immobilized LAB for the continuous inoculation of milk for yoghurt have been suggested (Divies et al, 1989;Linko, 1985). Starter culture preparation is of paramount importance in the manufacture of fermented milk.…”

Production of l (+) lactic acid by Lactobacillus delbrueckii immobilized in functionalized alginate matrices

“…All the immobilization steps were performed as reported Linko et al (1984). Alginate, natural and succinylated/ palmitoyl modified beads were prepared by mixing the 2% matrix solution with concentrated cell pellet and beads were prepared by dropping in polyelectrolyte solution using syringe.…”
