Single and mixed starter cultures of lactic acid bacteria (LAB): Weissella confusa MNC20, Lactobacillus plantarum MNC21, Lactococcus lactis MNC24 and Lactobacillus fermentum MNC34 and yeasts: Issatchenkia orientalis MNC20Y and Saccharomyces cerevisiae MNC21Y were used to produce Obushera, a fermented sorghum beverage. Microbial counts, pH, sugars, organic acids, and volatile compounds in starter culture and spontaneous fermentations were monitored during 48 hrs. Maximum counts of LAB (8.4–9.4 log cfu g−1) and yeasts (7.5 ± 0.1 cfu g−1) starter cultures were attained in 6–48 hrs. Weissella confusa, Lc. lactis, and Lb. fermentum showed possible acid sensitivity while I. orientalis produced surface films. LAB starter cultures and their combinations with S. cerevisiae lowered pH from 5.83 to |
