“…It is reduced to 0.1 to 0.7 g 100 g of dry dough Ϫ1 , after alkaline cooking, soaking, and washing to produce nixtamal (31). Thus, the question is raised as to how a low free sugar content might determine such rich microbial diversity and support a high number of lactic acid bacteria in pozol as reported by Wacher et al (34) and Escalante et al (12).…”

“…Pozol is a popular maize sourdough produced in urban and rural areas in Southeastern Mexico (34). Maize processing for pozol production involves a first step known as nixtamalization, which corresponds to the boiling of kernels in a lime suspension for ca.…”

“…The fermented dough is suspended in he water and drunk. Some fibrous components are not completely solubilized by nixtamalization and sediment is present in the beverage when the dough is suspended in the water (Wacher et al, 2000).…”

“…Published research regarding the microflora of maize products focuses primarily on products such as pozol, sekete, chorote and other fermented products, and monitors the changes in microbial populations throughout the fermentation process (Adegoke et al, 1995;Diaz-Ruiz et al, 2003;Morales et al, 2005;Sefa-Dedeh et al, 2004;Wacher et al, 1993;Wacher et al, 2000). Since microorganisms are responsible for the fermentation process, it is reasonable that most of the research regarding bacterial diversity and characterization relate to these commonly fermented foods.…”

“…While tortilla masa is not purposefully fermented, studies of fermented maize foods can still offer some knowledge and insight into the microflora of nixtamal and other fresh, unfermented maize products. Wacher et al (2000) found lactic acid bacteria present at 10 5 -10 6 cfu/g in pozol, a fermented corn dough often consumed as a beverage in Mexico, and identified 25 bacterial isolates to the genus level. They used selective plating and carbohydrate utilization methods to tentatively identify Leuconostoc and Lactococcus as the primary genera in this fermented product.…”
