Abstract
This research was conducted to determine the suitability of beet calyces as a raw material for the production of probiotic beet juice by lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus casei). The juice was fermented for 72 h at 30oC and 37oC separately and then analyzed for pH, acidity, sugar content and viable cell counts. Both lactic cultures were found capable of rapidly utilizing beet juice for cell synthesis and lactic acid production. They grew significantly better at 30oC for the first 24 h with an increase in cell numbers greater than 1.5 log cfu/ml. However, the viable cell count at 72 h of both temperatures was not much different (less than 0.6 log cfu/ml). Both strains produced a similar amount of titrable acidity expressed as lactic acid. However, the titrable acidity produced was about two-times higher at 30oC compared with that at 37oC (0.5% vs. 0.2-0.3% lactic acid). After 4 weeks of cold storage at 7oC, Lb. plantarum grown at 30oC survived significantly better than that grown at 37oC (1.8 × 106 cfu/ml vs. 2.9 × 104 cfu/ml). The addition of sucrose at the beginning of fermentation increased the amount of titrable acidity by at least two times (more than 1.1% lactic acid). However, both cultures did not survive well at the low pH and high acidity conditions in fermented sugar-added beet juice, the viable cell count was up to 4 × 104 cfu/ml after 4 weeks of cold storage at 7oC.
