Influence of Cofermentation by Amylolytic Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactococcus lactis Strains on the Fermentation Process and Rheology of Sorghum Porridge

Abstract: Amylolytic lactic acid bacteria (ALAB) can potentially replace malt in reducing the viscosity of starchy porridges. However, the drawback of using ALAB is their low and delayed amylolytic activity. This necessitates searching for efficient ALAB and strategies to improve their amylolytic activity. Two ALAB, Lactobacillus plantarum MNC 21 and Lactococcus lactis MNC 24, isolated from Obushera, were used to ferment starches in MRS broth: sorghum, millet, sweet potato, and commercial soluble starch. The amylolytic … Show more

“…Amylases produced by amylolytic LAB (ALAB) facilitate hydrolysis and fermentation of starch to lactic acid in a single step process [ 65 ]. ALAB can thus be utilized in commercial production of lactic acid from starchy materials and in reducing the viscosity of starchy complementary foods [ 66 , 67 ]. Apart from altering the microstructure of starch, ALAB could also modify the amylography and viscosity of starch.…”
