Optimization of fermentation process of date syrup by
Lactobacillus delbrueckii
and
Lactobacillus acidophilus
: Microbial growth, carbohydrate metabolism, and peptide content
Abstract:Response surface methodology was employed to investigate the combined effects of syrup concentration (10%, 20%, 30%), incubation temperature (35, 37, 39°C), fermentation time (16, 20, 24 h), and strain type (Lactobacillus delbrueckii and Lactobacillus acidophilus) on glucose and fructose content, biomass concentration and peptide content of fermented date syrup as responses. The fitted second‐order polynomial models were highly adequate to predict the responses. Fermentation temperature had a significant effec… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
