The co-culture growth of , and lactic acid bacteria starter culture in milk was quantitatively evaluated and modelled with a set of coupled differential equations originally proposed by Baranyi and Roberts and by Gimenez and Dalgaard (BR-GD model). The lactic acid bacteria starter culture showed the ability to induce an early stationary phase of both and populations at different combination of temperature (ranging from 12 to 37 ℃) and lactic acid bacteria inocula (from approx. 10 to 10 CFU/ml).

In this work, 12 plant-based potential probiotic mashes were produced by fermenting buckwheat with lactic acid cocci of the Fresco DVS 1010 culture and the human-derived isolate Lactobacillus plantarum HM1. The effect of single and coculture fermentation was studied at 30 and 37 ± 0.5 °C for 8 hr (5% CO ), followed by a storage period of 21 days (6 ± 0.

Unlabelled: The growth of the oxidatively imperfect yeast Candida maltosa Komagata, Nakase et Katsuya was studied experimentally and modelled mathematically in relation to sodium benzoate and lactic acid concentrations at different temperatures. Application of gamma models for the growth rate resulted in determination of cardinal temperature parameters for the growth environment containing lactic acid or sodium benzoate (T  = 0·7/1·3°C, T  = 45·3/45·0°C, T  = 36·1/37·0°C, μ  = 0·88/0·96 h ) as well as the maximal lactic acid concentration for growth (1·9%) or sodium benzoate (1397 mg kg ). Based on the model, the times to reach the density of C.

Modelling and predicting the simultaneous competitive growth of Escherichia coli and starter culture of lactic acid bacteria (Fresco 1010, Chr. Hansen, Hørsholm, Denmark) was studied in milk at different temperatures and Fresco inoculum concentrations. The lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were able to induce an early stationary state in E.

Direct comparison of key physical and chemical-engineering properties of two representative matrices for multipurpose immobilisations was performed for the first time. Polyvinyl alcohol lens-shaped particles LentiKats® and polyelectrolyte complex microcapsules were characterised by advanced techniques with respect to the size distribution of the particles, their inner morphology as revealed by fluorescent probe staining, mechanical resistance, size-exclusion properties, determination of effective diffusion coefficient and environmental scanning electron microscope imaging. While spherical polyelectrolyte complex microcapsules composed of a rigid semipermeable membrane and a liquid core are almost uniform in shape and size (diameter of 0.
