Abstract
The fermentation characteristics of two strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB), Lactobacillus brevis G-77 and Pediococcus damnosus 2.6 were compared in an oat-based, nondairy milk medium (Adavena® G40). Viscosity and ropiness were the main growth parameters studied. Both strains are reported to produce an exopolysaccharide (EPS) with a -glucan structure; in addition, the L. brevis strain produces also an EPS with an -glucan structure. Both strains were able to ferment and produce EPS in the oat-based, nondairy medium to the extent that an obvious change was observed in terms of viscosity and ropiness during the fermentation period. These results show the potential of both LAB strains as possible starter cultures in new kinds of fermented,... (More)
