Abstract
Previous metagenomic analyses have suggested that lactobacilli present potential for Quorum Sensing (QS) in cocoa fermentation, and in the present research, laboratory scale fermentations were carried out to monitor the expression of luxS, a universal marker of QS. For that, 96 h-fermentations were studied, as follows: F0 (non inoculated control), F1 (inoculated with yeasts, lactic acid bacteria, and acetic acid bacteria), F2 (inoculated with yeasts and acetic acid bacteria), F3 (inoculated with yeasts only). The parameters evaluated were: plate counting, quantification of key enzymes and analysis of volatile organic compounds associated with key sensory descriptors, using headspace gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Furthermore, QS was estimated by the quantification of the expression of luxS genes by Reverse Transcriptase Real-Time PCR. The results demonstrated that microbial succession occurred in pilot scale fermentations, but no statistical differences for microbial enumeration and α-diversity index were observed among experiments and control. Moreover, it was not possible to make conclusive correlations of enzymatic profile and fermenting microbiota, likely due to the intrinsic activity of plant hydrolases. Regarding to the expression of luxS genes, in Lactiplantibacillus plantarum they were active along the fermentation, but for Limosilactobacillus fermentum, luxS was expressed only at early and middle phases. Correlation analysis of luxS expression and production of volatile metabolites evidenced a possible negative association of Lp. Plantarum with fermentation quality. In conclusion, these data corroborate former shotgun metagenomic analysis by demonstrating the expression of luxS by lactobacilli in pilot scale cocoa fermentation and evidence Lp. Plantarum is the main lactic acid bacteria related to its expression.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the ability of probiotic Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus pentosus starter cultures to maintain Olea europaea L. cv. Gemlik fermentation and some chemical changes occurred by HPLC. It was observed that starter cultures decreased the pH by increasing the acidity of the fermentation medium. In addition, it was determined that the number of yeast-mold (Y-M) and aerobic mesophilic bacteria (AMB) were lower than the number of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in the samples with starter cultures. As the fermentation period progressed, it was observed that the amount and variety of phenolic substances increased, albeit slightly, in the brined olive samples to which the starter culture was added. Alcohols, biogenic amines, sugars and organic acids increased or decreased in all samples. During the fermentation gallic acid, apigenin, kaempferol, curcumin, vanillin, caffeic acid, salicylic acid, putrescine, triamine, spermidine and maleic acid could not be detected.

Abstract
In this study, the effects of ultrasonicated Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus, Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum AF1 (100 W, 30 kHz, 3 min) on the safety and bioactive properties of stirred yoghurt during storage (4 °C for 21 days) were investigated. The results showed that sonicated cultures were more effective in reducing pathogens than untreated ones. The highest antioxidant activity (DPPH and ABTS), α-glucosidase and α-amylase inhibition capacity were found in yoghurt containing sonicated probiotic + sonicated yoghurt starter cultures (P + Y + ). The highest amount of peptides (12.4 mg/g) was found in P + Y + yoghurts at the end of the storage time. There were not significant differences between the exopolysaccharide content of P + Y+ (17.30 mg/L) and P + Y- (17.20 mg/L) yoghurts, although it was significantly (P ≤ 0.05) higher than the other samples. The use of ultrasonicated cultures could enhance the safety of stirred yoghurt and improve its functional and bioactive properties.

Abstract
Dairy fermentation relies on the activity of starter cultures composed primarily of lactic acid bacteria such as Lactococcus and Streptococcus thermophilus strains to produce consistent, high-quality products. Bacteriophages are a constant threat to the industry, often causing slowed or failed fermentation resulting in significant economic losses. To ensure the continuation of reliable fermentation practices, it is important to detect and monitor the phage populations impacting different starter cultures. This has traditionally been done primarily through culture-dependent methods but has since expanded into viral metagenomics. Here we outline a protocol for a targeted virome extraction from a dairy whey sample, followed by subsequent sequencing and phageome analysis of the sample.

Abstract
This work aims to analyze the protein profile and volatile compounds of coffees fermented with the indigenous microbiota and with the co-inoculation of three yeasts (Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Torulaspora delbrueckii, and Candida parapsilosis). Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE), MALDI-ToF/ToF (MS/MS), and gas chromatography (GC-MS) were performed. A total of 72 "spots" were detected by 2D-PAGE. 16 spots were selected for identification by MALDI-ToF/ToF, and 12 were identified (11S protein, 13S globulin basic chain, 17.6 kDa class II heat shock protein (HSP17.6-CII), 18.0 kDa class I heat shock protein, Seed of Late Development Stage, Pru ar 1, and FAR-1 protein). 81 main volatile compounds were detected and classified into alcohols, acids, aldehydes, esters, hydrocarbons, pyrazines, furans, thiols, and pyridines/pyrrols. The difference between the identified volatile compounds and their concentrations was detected in the treatments with and without inoculation after drying. The compounds formed in green coffee during fermentation can participate in several reactions during roasting, presenting different sensory profiles and contributing to coffee quality.

Abstract
Celiac disease ranks highest among immunological disorders attributed to gluten consumption thus, posing great demands on gluten-free products. Rice is a gluten-free cereal with promising dietary applications. Ofada rice, a native southwestern Nigerian variety, can be improved with sourdough technology to develop functional aglutenic bread. Ofada rice sourdough bread (ORSB) was made with Fructilactobacillus fructivorans RY1, Weissella viridescens RY9 and Lactobacillus acidophilus RY10 as individual and combined starter cultures. Physical qualities, proximate contents, sensorial attributes and shelf-life of the ORSBs were evaluated. Sourdough bread with the highest (3.10 cm3/g) and lowest specific volumes (2.02 cm3/g) were the sample made single culture of W. viridescens and F. fructivorans, respectively. The highest crude protein (8.48 %) was found in ORSB with only F. fructivorans and ORSB with L. acidophilus singly had the highest content (0.44 %) of crude fibre. Nevertheless, the least crude protein (5.25 %) and crude fibre (0.28 %) were observed in samples containing F. fructivorans, W. viridescens, and L. acidophilus as combined starters. The sourdough bread with F. fructivorans as a starter scored best for texture and overall acceptability. The ORSBs had shelf-life ranging from three to four days. It was revealed in the study that using the specific LAB starters could improve the physicochemical attributes and acceptability of bread from Ofada rice flour.

Abstract
This study analyzed the effect of high-pressure processing (HPP) on the frequency of conjugal gene transfer of antibiotic resistance genes among strains obtained from starter cultures. Gene transfer ability was analyzed in vitro and in situ in the food matrix. It was found that the transfer of aminoglycoside resistance genes did not occur after high-pressure treatment, either in vitro or in situ. After exposure to HPP, the transfer frequencies of tetracycline, ampicillin and chloramphenicol resistance genes increased significantly compared to the control sample, both in vitro and in situ. The frequency of resistance genes transfer in the food matrix in the pressurized samples did not differ significantly from the in vitro transfer rate. Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations (MICs) for these antibiotics determined for transconjugants were lower or equal to MICs determined for the donors. No significant differences were observed between the MIC values determined for the transconjugants obtained in vitro and in situ. The results suggest that HPP may contribute to the spread of antibiotic resistance. This points to the need to verify starter cultures strains for their antibiotic resistance and pressurization parameters to avoid spreading antibiotic resistance genes.

Abstract
The growth of the lactic acid bacteria (LAB), Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus, widely used for yogurt production, results in acid production and the reduction of the milk [Formula: see text]. Industrial processes can show temperature ([Formula: see text]) changes due to the large scale of the equipment. As [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] affect the LAB growth, this study aimed to model the dependence of S. thermophilus and L. bulgaricus as a function of temperature and pH and to estimate and internally validate their growth parameters and confidence intervals with different modeling approaches. Twenty-four datasets regarding the growth kinetics of S. thermophilus and L. bulgaricus were used for estimating the kinetic parameters for each pure culture. The classical Baranyi and Roberts (sigmoidal) primary and Rosso and coworkers (cardinal parameter) secondary models successfully described the experimental data. The one-step modeling approach showed better statistical results than the two-step approach. The values of eight growth parameters ([Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text]) for each culture estimated from the fitting with the one-step approach and the Monte-Carlo-based approach were similar. Low averaged root-mean-squared errors ([Formula: see text]) (0.125 and 0.090 log CFU/mL) and percent discrepancy factor [Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]) values for S. thermophilus and L. bulgaricus were obtained in the internal model validation, reinforcing the predictive ability of the model.

Abstract
Technological, safety-related and volatile properties were analyzed in coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) isolates from Chinese spontaneously fermented meat products. A total of 107 CNS isolates were identified via 16 S rRNA sequencing, and the most recovered species were S. saprophyticus (53.3 %), S. edaphicus (12.1 %), and S. epidermidis (10.3 %). Among them, 58 CNS isolates belonging to 9 species were selected with higher activities of catalase, nitrate reductase, proteolysis, and lipolysis, as well as higher tolerance to stressful environmental conditions. Then, 7 CNS isolates belonging to 4 species were further selected based upon excellent technological characteristics, lack of hemolysis and antibiotic resistance, and a low production of biogenic amines. The volatile profiles of these 7 strains cultivated in pork broth was determined. S. casei No. 1 produced significant amounts of phenethyl alcohol, geraniol, and 3-methyl-butanol. S. xylosus No. 120 produced the highest amount of methyl ketones with the potential to provide dry-cured odor of fermented meats. The volatile profile was highly strain dependent. Several CNS identified in this study have the potential to be used as the starter cultures for fermented meat products.

Abstract
Previous studies found variations in the health-promoting effects of consuming different dairy products. This study aims at investigating the chemical composition of microbial fermented yogurt, chemically acidified yogurt and whole milk to understand the differences in the effects these products exert on human health. For this purpose, peptides and small compounds present in the products were examined using a combination of liquid chromatography mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic techniques. Results revealed that each product had its own characteristic peptide, free amino acid and small compound profile, and database search for bioactivity disclosed that fermented yogurt manufactured using a starter culture is associated with a higher bioactivity potential than chemically acidified yogurt or whole milk. Additional cold storage (14 days) further enhances the bioactivity potential of fermented yogurt while heat-inactivation, ensuring long shelf-life, modulates the proteins available for proteolysis and thereby the peptide profile generated.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate technological (acidification, proteolysis, lipolysis, resistance to low pH, NaCl, and bile salts) and biopreservation (antimicrobial activity against foodborne pathogens) features of 1002 LAB by high throughput screening (HTS) methods. The LAB was isolated from 11 types of Brazilian artisanal cheeses (BAC) marketed in the main 5 producing regions. Remarkable intra-species variability in acidification rates have been found, which was most pronounced between isolates from Mina's artisanal cheeses, Caipira and Coalho cheeses. Lacticaseibacillus paracasei and Levilactobacillus brevis showed the fastest acidification rate; however, all isolates showed slower acidification rates than a lactococcal control strain (4.3 × lower). When testing inhibitory effects, > 75% of LAB isolates could inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 19095 and Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 7644. Two of these isolates, identified as Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Lentilactobacillus buchneri, the sterile and neutral supernatants alone, were sufficient to inhibit L. monocytogenes growth. Principal component analysis (PCA) allowed the identification of functional groups based on proteolytic and lipolytic activity, osmotic stress resistance, and inhibition of L. monocytogenes. The type of cheese the isolates were recovered from influenced properties such as anti-listerial compounds and lipolytic enzyme production. The use of HTS and multivariate statistics allowed insights into a diverse set of LAB technological and biopreservation properties. These findings allow a profound knowledge of the heterogeneity of a large set of isolates, which can be further used to design starter cultures with varied and combined properties, such as biopreservation and technological features. Besides that, HTS makes it possible to analyze a vast panel of LAB strains, reducing costs and time within laboratory analysis, while avoiding the loss of information once all LAB are tested at the same time (differently from the traditional labor-intensive approach, in which a few numbers of strains is tested per time).

Abstract
ABSTRACT When developing protective starter cultures for application in cheese technologies, monitoring growth interactions between starter and adjunct lactic acid bacterial (LAB) species and in situ expression of bacteriocin genes in the mixtures is crucial. This study first aimed to monitor the growth of mixed LAB strain populations during milk model fermentations by microbial counts and real-time quantitative PCR. The primary starter strains, Streptococcus thermophilus ST1 and costarter Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris M78, served as the basic starter composite coinoculated in all milk treatments. Adjunct bacteriocinogenic Enterococcus faecium strains KE82 and GL31 and the ripening Lactiplantibacillus plantarum H25 strain were added separately to the starter composite, resulting in four LAB combination treatments. The second aim was to quantify gene transcripts of nisin and enterocins B and A synthesized by strains M78, KE82, and GL31, respectively, by reverse transcription-real-time quantitative PCR and to detect the in situ antilisterial effects of the cocultures. Adjunct LAB strains showed growth compatibility with the starter, since all of them exhibited 2- to 3-log-unit increases in their population levels compared to their initial inoculation levels, with ST1 prevailing in all treatments. KE82 grew more competitively than GL31, whereas cocultures with KE82 displayed the strongest in situ antilisterial activity. Nisin gene expression levels were higher at the exponential phase of microbial growth in all treatments. Finally, the expression levels of nisin and enterocin A and B genes were interrelated, indicating an antagonistic activity. HIGHLIGHTS

Abstract
The purpose of the study was to investigate the influence of a heteropolysacchride (HePS)-forming lactic acid bacteria (LAB) on the quality attributes of raw fermented sausages. Therefore, salamis with the HePS-producing strain Lactobacillus plantarum TMW 1.1478 or the non-EPS-producing strain Lactobacillus sakei TMW 1.2037 (control) were manufactured using two different inoculation concentrations: more precisely, 107 CFU/g (typical starter culture concentration) or 109 CFU/g. Growth behavior, aw and pH development were recorded until a weight loss of 31% was reached and in-situ-formed EPS detected using confocal laser scanning microscopy. Moreover, the influence of the HePS formed on texture (texture profile analysis; TPA) and sensory attributes (26 panelists, ranking test) was investigated. The final products containing L. plantarum TMW 1.1478 were found to be significantly softer (p < 0.05) than the respective control samples, an effect that was even more pronounced at the higher inoculation level of 109 CFU/g. The semi-quantitative data interpretation of the CLSM pictures revealed that the EPS were predominantly formed during the first 72 h of fermentation at 24 °C until the final pH of 4.95 ± 0.05 was reached (stationary phase). The sensory evaluation (consistency) was in accordance with the TPA results and taste was not negatively influenced by the HePS-forming strain. Results clearly indicate that EPS-producing LAB can have a negative influence on the quality of raw fermented sausages. However, these strains (in the present case L. plantarum TMW 1.1478) might be interesting for application in the field of spreadable raw sausage manufacturing.

Abstract
Controlling the content of biogenic amines (BAs) is critical to guarantee the safety of fermented aquatic products. The degradation characteristics and application potential of amine-negative starter cultures (Virgibacillus halodenitrificans CGMCC 1.18601: G25, Virgibacillus pantothenticus CGMCC 1.18602: G38) screened from grasshopper sub shrimp paste (Gssp) were studied. The enzymes of the two strains G25 and G38 that degrade BAs were amine oxidases (AOs) located on their respective cell membranes. The conditions that promoted the AO activity of Virgibacillus spp. were NaCl concentrations 5–10%, temperature 37 °C, pH 7.0 and ethanol concentrations 0–2%. Safety assessments (antibiotic susceptibility, biofilm activity and hemolytic activity) indicated that Virgibacillus spp. do not present a risk to human health, and this isolate can be confidently recommended as safe starter cultures for the food industry. Then, the two strains were cultured separately as starters and applied to the Gssp to analyze their influence on the flavor and quality of the product. As far as the bad flavors in Gssp such as sulfur-organic and sulf-chlor were concerned, the response values in the starter groups by G25 and G38 were significantly reduced by 39% and 65%, respectively. For the ability of strains to degrade BAs in Gssp, G25 degraded 11.1% of histamine, 11.3% of tyramine, 15.5% of putrescine and 4.1% of cadaverine; G38 significantly degraded 10.1% of histamine, 21.8% of tyramine, 18.1% of putrescine and 5.0% of cadaverine. These results indicated that the selected species could be used as starter cultures for the control of BA accumulation and degradation in Gssp.

Abstract
Extra ingredients are often used in traditional sourdough production recipes by artisan bakeries. These ingredients may be the source of microorganisms or stimulate the growth and/or the metabolic activities of the microorganisms added to or naturally present in the flour-water mixture. The present study examined the influence of the addition of lemon juice or apple juice as source of citrate or malate, respectively, on the growth and activity of the citrate- and malate-positive Companilactobacillus crustorum LMG 23699 strain (formerly known as Lactobacillus crustorum LMG 23699), used to initiate firm (dough yield of 200) wheat sourdough productions, and on the flavour of the baked goods produced. Three fermentation strategies were applied, namely one-step long fermentation sourdough production processes with the addition of juice at the start (Type 2) and backslopped fermentations with the addition of juice either only at the start of the sourdough productions or at the start of the sourdough productions and at the beginning of each subsequent refreshment step during the whole backslopping process (both Type 3). It turned out that the starter culture strain used prevailed during all sourdough productions performed. Yeasts were particularly present in Type 3 sourdough productions, although lemon juice retarded their growth. Due to high yeast activity, high concentrations of ethanol and glycerol were produced toward the end of the sourdough productions. Addition of lemon juice stimulated the production of lactic acid, acetic acid, and the buttery flavour compounds acetoin and diacetyl, because of citrate conversion, during the Type 2 and Type 3 sourdough productions. In Type 3 sourdough productions, these compounds were found in higher concentrations only when lemon juice was added at each backslopping step. Alternatively, the addition of apple juice led to high concentrations of lactic acid because of malolactic fermentation in both Type 2 and Type 3 sourdough productions. Moreover, the addition of apple juice increased the initial concentrations of the carbohydrates (fructose, glucose, and sucrose) and sugar alcohols (mannitol and sorbitol), which were exhausted upon backslopping or accumulated in the sourdough matrix, respectively. Baked goods produced using sourdoughs obtained from the Type 2 and Type 3 sourdough productions with the addition of juice at each backslopping step were significantly different in flavour from doughs supplemented with the respective juices and lactic acid and/or Type 3 sourdough productions with the addition of juice only at the start.

Abstract
Consumption of dairy products is one of the most natural ways to introduce probiotics. However, the beneficial effects of the probiotics might depend on the administration form. The aim of this study was to investigate the beneficial properties of two probiotic strains: Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis (BB-12) and Lactobacillus acidophilus (LA-5) in different administration forms (capsules and yogurt). First, in vitro resistance to gastrointestinal condition, surface properties, and immunomodulation capacities were determined. Then, the anti-inflammatory properties of the probiotic strains administrated on yogurt or capsules were tested in a dinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (DNBS)-induced colitis mouse model. The survival rates of BB-12 and LA-5 strains to gastrointestinal conditions were slightly higher when yogurt was used as carrier. They showed most affinity to hexane (no-polar basic solvent) than ethyl-acetate (polar basic solvent). BB-12 showed the higher binding capacity to HT-29, Caco-2, and mucin. Both probiotic candidates suppress the secretion of IL-8 secretion by HT-29-TNF-α stimulated cells. Finally, administration of BB-12 and LA-5 strains improve colitis in mice. They protect against weight loss, inflammation, and hyperpermeability induced by DNBS. However, these anti-inflammatory effects were limited when mice were treated with the probiotic strain on a yogurt matrix. Overall results indicate that BB-12 and LA-5 positive properties are compromised depending on the matrix. Consequently, the selection of an appropriate matrix is an important criterion to conserve the positive benefits of these probiotic strains.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to search for new candidate strains to be included in a culture for Crescenza, a rindless soft cheese, today produced mainly at industrial level using selected starter cultures composed of S. thermophilus. Performance testing was applied to 29 pre-selected strains and a scoring approach was developed to identify the most suitable candidates to be employed in Crescenza cheesemaking. Eight S. thermophilus strains fulfilling most of the desired properties (e.g., high phage resistance, fast acidification rate, no growth below 20 °C, NaCl sensibility, no post acidification at 4 °C) were selected. These strains were grouped in pairs to design different starter culture formulations, which were preliminary tested for the production of Crescenza cheeses at laboratory scale. Two couples of binary cultures (designed Phage rotation 1 and Phage rotation 2) were finally designed and used as starters in pilot scale cheesemaking. The combinations, especially those designed in Phage rotation 1, appeared to be suitable for Crescenza production and showed mutual similarity in terms of strain characteristics, technological performance, and cheese quality. The selection method and ranking approach presented in this work may be adapted to other species of LAB showing traits of industrial interest.

Abstract
The cyanide, haematology and histopathology profiles of white albino rats fed with ‘fufu’-based diets were monitored. The cassava tubers were subjected into different processing operations: spontaneous-soaked traditional method (SWI), grated before spontaneously-fermented without starter culture (CWI) and those grated, blanched at 65 °C for 15 min before fermented with microorganisms isolated, purified and identified from spontaneously fermented ‘fufu’ categorized into Bacteria only (BAP), Bacteria and Yeast (BYP), Yeast only (YAP), Bacteria and Mould (BMP), Mould and Yeast (MYP) and Mould only (MAP) and were oven dried and milled. The commercial ready-to-eat ‘Fufu’ (CWF) was served as control for laboratory processed samples. Albino rats of the wister strain with four (4) rats per group were fed with 50 % of Commercial vital feed (CVF) and 50% each of the remaining nine (9) “Fufu” samples in ratio 1:1 before haematology and histopathology profile of the animals were investigated. It was found out that Samples BMP and MAP had abnormal high Neutrophil (58–60; 41–42 %) lower Lymphocyte (40–43; 58–61 %), lower Packed cell volume (46–48; 45–47 %) and higher cyanide in the blood (0.004–0.006 mg/L) with sample BMP highest white blood cell (23–24 × 10⁹/L) and sample MAP least white blood cell (6.5–6.6 × 10⁹/L) when compared with other samples which were within the acceptable recommended values for animal studied for haematology and histopathology profiles. The “fufu” samples had reduced cyanide levels ranging from 0.001 mg/L to 0.006 mg/L in the blood of the animals assayed due to the processing operations used. Therefore, combined use of bacteria isolated as starter cultures in the production of odourless “Fufu” have acceptable haematology, histopathology and reduced cyanide level which suggests the suitability in terms of safety for human consumption.

Abstract
In order to improve cassava's palatability and reduce its toxicity, this root is fermented and applied in foods, such as sour cassava starch used to prepare cheese bread and biscuits. This fermentation occurs spontaneously with lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and yeasts. However, it remains an empirical process, with long duration and lack of product quality homogeneity. This work aims to use starter cultures in a pilot-scale fermentation process for the production of sour cassava starch. After differentiation of strains, Lactobacillus plantarum Lp3, which exhibited great total titratable acidity (TTA) (5.01 ± 0.05%) and antagonistic activity against Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli and Salmonella Typhimurium, together with Lactobacillus brevis Lb9 (with lesser TTA values: 2.71 ± 0.10%, but amylolytic activity: 2.75 ± 0.61 mm) were tested as single and co-cultures with Saccharomyces cerevisiae UFMG-A1007. LAB and yeasts were inoculated at counts of 8 and 7 log10 CFU/g, respectively, and they remained until the 28th day only in co-culture, highlighting the importance of the yeast for the LAB viability. Although single cultures lead to higher acidity during fermentation, the final product acidity obtained with single cultures did not differ from the acidity obtained with L. plantarum Lp3 in association with S. cerevisiae UFMG-A1007. Therefore, this co-culture exhibited higher potential to be tested as a starter culture in industrial-scale fermentation studies because both microorganisms were in high counts until the end of fermentation and contributed to a final product safe for human consumption, with satisfactory acidity, expansion capacity, and physicochemical properties.

Abstract
Fermentation is an essential process step to develop precursor compounds for aroma and flavour characteristics of chocolate, as well as preventing germination of the cocoa bean. Despite the importance of the role of microorganisms during the chocolate production, to date, there are some discrepancies of the "cocobiota" community found during fermentation and the impact of starter culture in fermented cocoa beans. This review provides both a detailed overview of the starter cultures used in fermented cocoa beans and the microbial diversity involved during this process, and an in-depth discussion of the methods used to identify these microorganisms. In this review, we included only published articles from 2008 to 2018 in English language. A total of forty-seven studies contributed to the description of the cocobiota from 13 different countries. In detail, we observed that the most common fermentation method used is the wooden box, followed by heap. Interestingly, 37% of the studies cited in this review did not mention the type of cocoa variety studied. Most of the techniques used to identify the microbiota are fingerprinting based (DGGE); however, few studies have been using next-generation technologies to elucidate the possible functions and interactions among microbes. Our results showed a greater diversity of yeasts if compared with bacterial involved in the fermentation. This review will help researchers seeking to design starter cultures to drive cocoa bean fermentation, and thus achieve a homogenous mass of fermented cocoa beans as well as serve as a guide for assessing methodologies for the identification of microorganisms.

Abstract
The behaviour of two combined starter cultures and their influence on the microbiological and physicochemical characteristics of dry-cured ham have been evaluated. Three lots of dry-cured hams were tested during processing (0, 9, 48, 74, 112, 142, 166 and 211 days). Lot 1 had no added starter culture. Lot 2 contained a starter culture of Penicillium chrysogenum, Penicillium digitatum, Penicillium nalgiovense, Debaryomyces hansenii, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Pediococcus pentosaceus and Micrococcus varians was and lot 3 had L. plantarum, L. acidophilus, P. pentosaceus and M. varians. The use of a selected starter culture based on a combination of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and fungal strains with a demonstrated proteolytic activity such as P. chrysogenum and D. hansenii (lot 2) did not affect the main characteristics of dry-cured ham processing, even enhancing some desirable aspects, like its non-protein nitrogen contents. LAB strains were not significantly affected by combining them with fungal starter, and better counts were found with respect to control. A higher thiobarbituric acid reactive substances content was described in lot inoculated only with LAB (lot 3). Potentially pathogenic microorganisms were not detected in any of the lots studied. The starter culture used in lot 2 showed a potential interest for use in dry-cured ham production.

Abstract
Lactose conversion by lactic acid bacteria is of high industrial relevance and consistent starter culture quality is of outmost importance. We observed that Lactococcus lactis using the high-affinity lactose-phosphotransferase system excreted galactose towards the end of the lactose consumption phase. The excreted galactose was re-consumed after lactose depletion. The lacS gene, known to encode a lactose permease with affinity for galactose, a putative galactose–lactose antiporter, was upregulated under the conditions studied. When transferring cells from anaerobic to respiration-permissive conditions, lactose-assimilating strains exhibited a long and non-reproducible lag phase. Through systematic preculture experiments, the presence of galactose in the precultures was correlated to short and reproducible lag phases in respiration-permissive main cultivations. For starter culture production, the presence of galactose during propagation of dairy strains can provide a physiological marker for short culture lag phase in lactose-grown cultures.

Abstract
The use of selected autochthonous mesophilic lactic acid bacteria as starter cultures was investigated according to the traditional protocol for making Pecorino Crotonose (PC). Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. mesenteroides 2A, Lactobacillus casei 23C and Lactobacillus plantarum 18C (Autochthonous Starter, AS1) and Leuc. mesenteroides subsp. mesenteroides 2A, and L. casei 25D and 16A (AS2) were isolated and identified from aged ewes' milk PC cheeses, selected based on several enzymatic activities, and used as starter cultures. As shown by the in vitro kinetic of acidification, selected starter cultures had suitable capabilities to acidify. The manufacture of PC cheeses was carried out at an industrial plant scale. A control cheese (CC) was also made, using commercial starters consisting of mesophilic and thermophilic species. Ripening lasted 105 days at 10 °C. A poly-phasic approach was used to compare cheeses during manufacture and ripening, mainly based on pyrosequencing of the 16S rRNA targeting DNA, proteolysis and volatile component analyses. Compared to CC, both autochthonous starter cultures slightly affected the gross chemical composition of PC cheese. The cell density of thermophilic starters of CC progressively decreased throughout ripening. Plate count and RAPD-PCR showed that the cell number of autochthonous lactobacilli cultures of PC cheeses, made with AS1 and AS2, was almost constant throughout ripening and abundantly higher than that observed in CC. As shown by culture-independent analysis, the OTUs found during ripening varied depending on the manufacture with or without autochthonous starter cultures. The major chemical differences among cheeses were the concentration of free amino acids and the synthesis of some key volatile components (e.g., 2-methyl-1-propanol, 2-methyl-1-butanol, isobutyric, isovaleric, and isocaproic acids). Compared to CC, the use of AS1 positively affected the overall cheese quality.

Abstract
Sour cassava starch (Polvilho azedo) is obtained from a spontaneous fermentation conducted by microorganisms from raw materials and fermentation tanks. This product is traditionally used in the baking industry for the manufacture of biscuits and Brazilian cheese breads. However, the end of fermentation is evaluated empirically, and the process occurs without standardization, which results in products of inconsistent quality. Predominant microbiota from a cassava flour manufacturer was isolated in order to select starter cultures for the production of sour cassava starch in a pilot-scale fermentation process. Lactic acid bacteria and yeasts were isolated, enumerated and grouped by Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism, and PCR fingerprinting, respectively. One isolate of each molecular profile was identified by sequencing of the rRNA gene. LAB were prevalent throughout the entire process. Lactobacillus brevis (21.5%), which produced the highest values of acidity, and Lactobacillus plantarum (13.9%) were among the most frequent species. Pichia scutulata (52.2%) was the prevalent yeast and showed amylolytic activity. The aforementioned species were tested as single and mixed starter cultures in a pilot-scale fermentation process for 28 days. L. plantarum exhibited better performance as a starter culture, which suggests its potential for the production of sour cassava starch.

Abstract
In recent years, the awareness of consumers about the impact of food on health is constantly increasing. A high amount of dietary antioxidant intake can be supplied by beverages widely consumed, such as wine, coffee, beer. Recently, an increase in the consumer interest was observed for beer, in consequence of the high phenolic antioxidants and low ethanol content present in this beverage. Among all beer types, in recent years, consumption of craft beers has gained popularity. Being an unpasteurized and unfiltered, craft beer is potentially a new vehicle for delivering health effects. While health benefits of lactic acid bacteria as probiotics are well known, few data are available on probiotic yeasts in fermented food. Therefore, this study was aimed to analyse the effect of integrating the well-known probiotic yeast strain of S. cerevisiae var. boulardii (S.b) in mixed cultures with S. cerevisiae strains for production of beers with increased healthy benefits. The probiotic strain of S.b was tested in mixed cultures with selected S. cerevisiae strains, during wort fermentation. As the viability during processing operations is one of the criteria for selecting suitable strains of probiotic microorganisms, the survival of probiotic yeast during the fermentation and the presence of highly viable cells at the end of fermentations were evaluated. In almost all the mixed fermentations, at the end of the process the probiotic yeast was predominant on S. cerevisiae strain, and the experimental beers contained a high number of viable cells of S.b strain (ranging between 8 × 106 and 7.0 × 107/mL). The analysis of experimental beers for the content of main volatile compounds showed that the inclusion of S.b strain in mixed starter did not affect negatively beer aroma. Moreover, the inclusion of S.b strain in mixed starters determined an increase in the antioxidant activity and polyphenols content, in comparison to beers from single starter fermentations, indicating the influence of S.b strain on these parameters. Some mixed starter cultures tested in this study resulted a very promising tool to increase the healthy quality of the product, such as the improve the antioxidant activity and polyphenols content of beer.

Abstract
Fermented sausage technology is currently compromised in decreasing the addition of NaCl. Use of starter cultures with peptidogenic potential could be a valuable strategy that can mask or hide off flavors produced by the use of NaCl substituents. In the present work, the peptidogenic potential of four lactic acid bacteria species was evaluated in a low-sodium beaker sausage (BS) model. Using a peptidomic approach, a total of 86 low molecular weight (LMW) peptides were accurately identified, mostly derived from myofibrillar proteins, especially actin, which generated 53 peptides. The BS inoculated with L. curvatus CRL705 generated 56 LMW peptides, followed by Enterococcus (E.) mundtii CRL35 with 43 peptides. In addition, BS inoculated with Lactobacillus (L.) plantarum and with L. sakei produced higher amino acid amounts over time as compared to the rest of BS models, highlighting the importance of both, time and sample effect on the overall free amino acid generation. The presence of each LAB strain in BS models generated a unique profile of small peptides and amino acids that could serve as a distinctive biochemical trait to differentiate specific fermented products. According to these results, E. mundtii and L. sakei, which are compatible between them, are proposed as the most efficiently adapted to low-sodium conditions. The use of selected strains during the processing of low-sodium fermented sausages could have a positive effect on the production of small peptides and free amino acids.

Abstract
This study was undertaken to evaluate the feasibility of using commercial starter cultures for quality improvement of spreadable processed cheese manufactured from ultrafiltered milk retentates. Compared to control, six samples of ultrafiltered milk retentate were incubated at 25 ℃ with starter cultures CHN-22, FRC-60, and ABT-8. Three samples were incubated for 24 h and the others were incubated for 72 h. Physicochemical, microbiological, and organoleptic characteristics in all treatments during the 90-day cold storage (6 ± 2 ℃) period were determined. The results showed that protein content of all treatments was significantly lower than the control. Utilization of starter cultures in ultrafiltered processed cheese production increased titratable acidity, where titratable acidity of the treatments (PC22-3, PC60-3, and PC8-3) was significantly higher than the other treatments and the control. PC8-1, PC60-1, and PC22-1 treatments were the highest penetrometer readings and with low firmness. All treatments had higher water soluble nitrogen/total nitrogen%, total bacterial viable and lactic acid bacterial counts especially PC22-3, PC60-3, and PC8-3 compared to the control. The results revealed that PC60-1 and PC22-3 treatments gained the highest acceptability scores than PC60-3, PC22-1, and the control.

Abstract
Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) are involved in colour and flavour formation of fermented meats. Their communities are established either spontaneously, as in some artisan-type products, or using a starter culture. The latter usually consists of Staphylococcus carnosus and/or Staphylococcus xylosus strains, although strains from other CNS species also have potential for application. However, it is not entirely clear how the fitness of alternative starter cultures within a fermented meat matrix compares to conventional ones and how this may be affected by processing conditions. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the influence of two key processing conditions, namely temperature and acidity, on the competitiveness of a cocktail of five different strains of CNS belonging to species that are potentially important for meat fermentation (Staphylococcus xylosus 2S7-2, S. carnosus 833, Staphylococcus epidermidis ATCC 12228, Staphylococcus equorum DFL-S19, and Staphylococcus saprophyticus FPS1). To this end, fermented meat models consisting of cured meat batters with initial pH values of 5.3, 5.5, or 5.7 were inoculated with these strains, stuffed in containers, and incubated at 23, 30, or 37 °C. Both the pH level and the temperature influenced the composition of the CNS communities, giving a competitive advantage to the best adapted species. Staphylococcus xylosus preferred low temperature and mild acidity, whereas an elevated temperature selected for S. epidermidis and a low pH for S. carnosus. Under the conditions tested, S. saprophyticus and S. equorum were outcompeted by the three other CNS species. Hence, CNS communities in fermented meats are not only established based on the initial presence of specific species in the meat batter but also by their subsequent adaptation to the processing conditions during fermentation, potentially overruling the use of starter cultures.

Abstract
We inoculated five starter candidates, Enterococcus faecium, Tetragenococcus halophilus, Bacillus licheniformis, Staphylococcus saprophyticus, and Staphylococcus succinus, into sterilized soybeans to predict their effectiveness for flavor production in fermented soybean foods. All of the starter candidates exhibited sufficient growth and acid production on soybean cultures. Twenty-two volatile compounds, such as acids, alcohols, carbonyls, esters, furans, and pyrazines, were detected from the control and starter candidate-inoculated soybean cultures. Principal component analysis of these volatile compounds concluded that E. faecium and T. halophilus produced a similar profile of volatile compounds to soybeans with no dramatic differences in soybean flavor. B. licheniformis and S. succinus produced the crucial volatile compounds that distinguish the flavor profiles of soybean. During soybean fermentation, phenylmethanol and 2,3,5,6-tetramethylpyrazine were determined as odor notes specific to B. licheniformis and 3-methylbutyl acetate as an odor note specific to S. succinus.

Abstract
From a microbiological perspective, sourdough is to be considered as a specific and stressful ecosystem, harboring yeasts and lactic acid bacteria (LAB), that is used for the production of baked goods. With respect to the metabolic impact of the sourdough microbiota, acidification (LAB), flavor formation (LAB and yeasts), and leavening (yeasts and heterofermentative LAB species) are most noticeable. Three distinct types of sourdough fermentation processes can be discerned based on the inocula applied, namely backslopped ones (type 1), those initiated with starter cultures (type 2), and those initiated with a starter culture followed by backslopping (type 3). A sourdough-characteristic LAB species is Lactobacillus sanfranciscensis. A sourdough-characteristic yeast species is Candida humilis. Although it has been suggested that the microbiota of a specific sourdough may be influenced by its geographical origin, region specificity often seems to be an artefact resulting from interpretation of the research data, as those are dependent on sampling, isolation, and identification procedures. It is however clear that sourdough-adapted microorganisms are able to withstand stress conditions encountered during their growth. Based on the technological setup, type 0 (predoughs), type I (artisan bakery firm sourdoughs), type II (industrial liquid sourdoughs), and type III sourdoughs (industrial dried sourdoughs) can be distinguished. The production of all sourdoughs, independent of their classification, depends on several intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Both the flour (type, quality status, etc.) and the process parameters (fermentation temperature, pH and pH evolution, dough yield, water activity, oxygen tension, backslopping procedure and fermentation duration, etc.) determine the dynamics and outcome of (backslopped) sourdough fermentation processes.

Abstract
In this work, an ad hoc method to identify and quantify polyphenols from caper berries was developed on high-performance liquid chromatography/electrospray ionisation source/mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-MS). The method was applied during fermentation carried out with Lactobacillus pentosus OM13 (Trial S) and without starter (Trial C). A total of five polyphenols were identified. All samples contained high concentrations of rutin. Epicatechin was found in untreated fruits, on the contrary quercetin was detected during fermentation. Trial S was characterised by a more rapid acidification and lower levels of spoilage microorganisms than Trial C. L. pentosus dominated among the microbial community of both trials and the highest biodiversity, in terms of strains, was displayed by Trial C. Aureobasidium pullulans was the only yeast species found. The analytical method proposed allowed a high polyphenolic compound recovery from untreated and processed caper berries in short time. The starter culture reduced the bitter taste of the final product.

Abstract
Wet cured pork hams were inoculated with a mixed starter cultures comprising of Lactobacillus acidophilus and Micrococcus varians M483 at the dose level of 106 cfu/g and the un inoculated hams served as controls. The amino acid profile of hams of the treated and the control groups stored at 4oC under MAP and VP and evaluated on 60th day of storage revealed that treated hams liberated higher concentration of free amino acids except for proline and methionine which were found in higher concentration (P < 0.01) in the MAP control samples. The MAP control samples liberated glutamic acid (85.65 ± 1.40 ppm), cystine (21.56 ± 1.14 ppm) and tyrosine (16.63 ± 1.94 ppm) whereas, the treated samples did not release these amino acids. The VP control samples too liberated cystine (6.98 ± 1.36 ppm) and arginine (42.70 ± 2.78 ppm) but the treated ham of the VP did not liberate these amino acids. The VP hams had higher concentration (P < 0.01) of free proline, glycine, alanine, valine, methionine, isoleucine, phenylalanine, lysine and histidine than the MAP samples. Colour analysis of ham using CIE Lab colour system revealed that the treated samples had significantly higher concentrations of L*, a* and b* components. The L* and a* values were higher in the MAP than under VP systems while the b* values were higher in the VP samples than the MAP samples. Neither the bacterial cultures nor the packaging system influenced the textural property of ham. Starter cultures inoculated hams were rated superior (P < 0.05) in terms of their sensory properties. Hams packaged under MAP were rated superior (P < 0.05) than those packaged under VP in terms of appearance, colour, taste, tenderness, flavour, juiciness and overall acceptability.

Abstract
Brazilian kefir is a homemade fermented beverage that is obtained by incubating milk or a brown sugar solution with kefir grains that contribute their different microbiological compositions. It is highly important to isolate and characterize microorganisms from Brazilian kefir grains to obtain starter cultures for the industrial production of a standardized commercial kefir. Thus, the present study aimed to isolate lactic acid bacteria from eight kefir grains that were propagated in milk or sugar solutions from five different locations in Brazil and to select Lactobacillus isolates based on desirable in vitro probiotic properties. One hundred eight isolates from both substrates were identified by amplified ribosomal DNA restriction analysis and/or 16S rRNA gene sequencing and were determined to belong to the following 11 species from the genera: Lactococcus, Leuconostoc, Lactobacillus (L.), and Oenococcus. Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Lactobacillus kefiri, and Lactobacillus kefiranofaciens were isolated only from milk grains, whereas Lactobacillus perolens, Lactobacillus parafarraginis, Lactobacillus diolivorans, and Oenococcus oeni were isolated exclusively from sugar water grains. When the microbial compositions of four kefir grains were evaluated with culture-independent analyses, L. kefiranofaciens was observed to predominant in milk grains, whereas Lactobacillus hilgardii was most abundant in sugar water kefir. Unfortunately, L. hilgardii was not isolated from any grain, although this bacteria was detected with a culture-independent methodology. Fifty-two isolated Lactobacilli were tested for gastric juice and bile salt tolerance, antagonism against pathogens, antimicrobial resistance, and surface hydrophobicity. Three Lactobacillus strains (L. kefiranofaciens 8U, L. diolivorans 1Z, and Lactobacillus casei 17U) could be classified as potential probiotics. In conclusion, several lactic acid bacteria that could be used in combination with yeasts as starter cultures for both milk kefir and sugar water kefir were characterized, and the functional properties of several of the lactobacilli isolated from the kefir grains were suggestive of their possible use as probiotics in both kefir and other dairy products.

Abstract
Twelve lactic acid bacteria (LAB), previously selected in vitro (Gaglio et al., 2014), were evaluated in situ for their potential to act as starter cultures for the continuous four-season production of Vastedda-like cheese, made with raw ewes' milk. The strains belonged to Lactobacillus delbrueckii, Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris, Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. mesenteroides and Streptococcus thermophilus. LAB were first inoculated in multiple-strain combinations on the basis of their optimal growth temperatures in three process conditions which differed for milk treatment and medium for strain development: process 1, growth of strains in the optimal synthetic media and pasteurised milk; process 2, growth of strains in whey based medium (WBM) and pasteurised milk; and process 3, growth of strains in WBM and raw milk. The strains that acidified the curds in short time, as shown by a pH drop, were all mesophilic and were then tested in a single inoculum through process 3. Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)-PCR analysis applied to the colonies isolated from the highest dilutions of samples confirmed the dominance of the added strains after curd acidification, stretching and storage. After 15days of refrigerated storage, the decrease in pH values showed an activity of the mesophilic strains at low temperatures, but only Lc. lactis subsp. cremoris PON153, Ln. mesenteroides subsp. mesenteroides PON259 and PON559 increased their number during the 15days at 7°C. A sensory evaluation indicated that the cheeses obtained by applying protocol 3 and by inoculation with lactococci are the most similar to the protected denomination of origin (PDO) cheese and received the best scores by the judges. Thus, the experimental cheeses obtained with raw milk and inoculated with single and multiple combinations of lactococci were subjected to the analysis of the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) carried out by a headspace solid phase microextraction (SPME) technique coupled with gas chromatography with mass spectrometric detection (GC/MS). The dominance of lactococci over thermophilic LAB of raw milk was verified during summer production and, based on the combination of VOC profiles and sensory evaluation of the final cheeses, the multi-strain Lactococcus culture resulted in the most suitable starter preparation for the full-year production of Vastedda-like cheese.

Abstract
The aim was to produce Nham that was enriched with γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA); therefore two GABA producing lactic acid bacteria (Pediococcus pentosaceus HN8 and Lactobacillus namurensis NH2) were used as starter cultures. By using the central composite design (CCD) we showed that addition of 0.5% monosodium glutamate (MSG) together with an inoculum size of roughly 6logCFU/g of each of the two strains produced a maximal amounts of GABA (4051 mg/kg) in the 'GABA Nham' product. This was higher than any current popular commercial Nham product by roughly 8 times. 'GABA Nham' with the additions of both starters and MSG (TSM) supported maximum populations of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) with a minimum of yeasts and no staphylococci or molds when compared to the controls that had no addition of any starters or MSG (TNN), or only the addition of MSG (TNM), or with only the starter (TSN). Based on proximate analysis among the Nham sets, 'GABA Nham' was low in fat, carbohydrate and energy although its texture and color were slightly different from the control (TNN). However, sensory evaluations of 'GABA Nham' were more acceptable than the controls and commercial Nham products for all tested parameters. Hence, a unique novel 'GABA Nham' fermented pork sausage was successfully developed.

Abstract
Fermented cereals play a significant role in human nutrition in all parts of the world where cereals grow. These fermentations are started spontaneously or there have been traditional techniques developed in order to keep starter cultures for these processes alive. With the growing impact of industrial microbiology during 20th century this traditional starter culture propagation was replaced often, especially in the dairy industry, by the use of pure, frozen or freeze-dried cultures grown on microbial media. In contrast to the production of ethanol from cereals, in sourdough a pasteurization step before inoculation is avoided due to gelatinization of starch and inactivation of endogenous enzymes. Therefore cultures must be competitive to the relatively high microbial load of the cereal raw materials and well adapted to the specific ecology determined by the kind of cereal and the process conditions. Less adapted cultures could be used, but then the process of back-slopping of cultures is limited. Although cereal fermentations take the biggest volume among fermented foods, only for sourdoughs commercial cultures are available.
