Effect of Autochthonous Lactic Acid Bacteria-Enhanced Fermentation on the Quality of Suancai.

ABSTRACT: The lactic acid bacteria (LABs) used for fermentation have an extremely vital impact on the quality of Suancai, a fermented vegetable. The bacterial diversity and metabolites of inoculated Suancai with LABs, including Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (Lb. plantarum), Levilactabacillus brevis (Lb. brevis), and Leuconostoc mesenteroides (Leu. mesenteroides), were investigated. The inoculation of LABs significantly decreased the pH and the content of nitrite. The Suancai inoculated with LABs had a higher content of the total titratable acidity (TTA) and organic acids than spontaneous fermentation. The LABs inoculation significantly influenced the bacterial community structures, which directly or indirectly caused changes of metabolites. The bacterial com
