Threonine aldolase and alcohol dehydrogenase activities inLactobacillus bulgaricusandLactobacillus acidophilusand their contribution to flavour production in fermented milks

Abstract: SummaryCell-free extracts of both Lactobacillus bulgaricus and L. acidophilus demonstrated threonine aldolase activity, the end product of which was acetaldehyde, the major flavour compound of yoghurt. L. acidophilus also possessed an alcohol dehydrogenase activity capable of reducing acetaldehyde so that little yoghurt flavour was present in milks fermentation with this organism. Addition of threonine to fortified milk before fermentation with L. acidophilus increased acetaldehyde production and resulted in a… Show more

“…Une explication serait le passage d'une quantité d'acétaldéhyde en phase vapeur, en raison de sa grande volatilité et de l'acidité du milieu. Il n'y a apparemment pas d'alcool-déshydrogénase (Lees et Jago, 1976;Marshall et Cole, 1983;Raya et al, 1986), ce qui explique que nous n'ayons pas mis en évidence d'augmentation de la quantité d'éthanol pendant la conservation (résultats non montrés).…”

“…9 Acal, acetaldehyde; Ac, acetone; ET, ethanol; DI, diacetyl; ACET, acetoin; C2, acetic acid; C3, propionic acid; iC4, isobutyric acid and 28 Pg/ml, respectively (p<0.05). The synthesis of ethanol in the metabolic pathway of pyruvate is ascribed to alcohol dehydrogenase which is produced by some strains of L. acidophilus (Marshall and Cole, 1983). In turn, in most of the samples the content of acetone was not subject to any statistically significant changes during incubation, except for the culture of the strain L. acidophilus 194, which the content of acetone was demonstrated to decrease along with incubation time (Table 1).…”

“…Acetaldehyde which imparts green apple, nutty and roasted flavor to foods is an important volatile compound for the flavor formation of dairy products such as yogurt, fermented milk and acidcurd fresh cheeses [32]. High levels of acetaldehyde were also found by Marshall & Cole [33] in fermented dairy products containing L. acidophilus strains. Acetaldehyde was decreased in all experimental cheeses during storage period.…”
