Temperature, Salinity and Garlic Additive Shape the Microbial Community during Traditional Beetroot Fermentation Process.

ABSTRACT: Plant-based traditional fermented products are attracting a lot of interest in global markets. An example of them is beetroot leaven, which is valued for its high bioactive compound content. The variety of production recipes and the spontaneous nature of red beet fermentation favor its high diversity. This study aimed to analyze the impact of external factors-temperature, brine salinity, and garlic dose-on the beetroot fermentation and bacterial metapopulation responsible for this process. The research results confirmed the significant influence of the selected and analyzed factors in shaping the leaven physicochemical profile including organic acid profile and betalain content. Analysis of bacterial populations proved the crucial importance of the first 48 h of the fermentation process in
