  • Lactic acid bacteria which do not decarboxylate malic acid and fermentation therewith
    Patent number: 4666849
    Abstract: Bloating of brine fermented cucumbers can be greatly reduced by using lactic acid bacteria which do not decarboxylate malic acid and therefore do not produce carbon dioxide during fermentation. Also, certain high acid wines can be improved by fermenting fruit with bacteria which do decarboxylate malic acid.A method has been discovered of differentiating between species of lactic acid bacteria which do and do not decarboxylate malic acid. This method comprises growing a lactic acid bacterium in a suitable malic acid-containing nutritive growth medium under conditions suitable for growth and monitoring the pH of the medium during growth. The pH will decrease only when a lactic acid bacterium is present which does not decarboxylate malic acid.
