Lactic acid bacteria involved in food fermentations and their present and future uses in food industry

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIH,volume 98))

Abstract

Fermented foods may be defined as foods that have been modified, in a desired way, by the activity of micro-organisms and/or enzymes. Yeasts, moulds and lactic acid bacteria, alone or in combination, are involved in food fermentations; other bacteria may also play a role in certain products. In most cases, enzymes present in the raw material or added to it contribute to the desired changes.
