The aim of this research effort was to investigate the role of various sugar substrates in the growth medium upon thermotolerance and upon survival during storage after freeze-drying of Lactobacillus bulgaricus. Addition of the sugars tested to the growth medium, and of these and sorbitol to the drying medium (skim milk) was investigated so as to determine whether a relationship exists between growth and drying...
The industrial exploitation of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) as starter and/or probiotic cultures depends strongly on the preservation technologies employed, which are required to guarantee long-term delivery of stable cultures in terms of viability and activity. Freeze-dried preparations exhibit advantages relative to preparations made with other techniques in terms of long-term preservation, coupled with conveni...
