3. INTRODUCTION
๏ฑ Starter culture is a concentrated preparation of live cells that is added
to a raw material to initiate fermentation rapidly.
๏ฑ LAB occupies a central role in these fermentation processes.
๏ฑ LAB widely distributed in nature and found naturally as indigenous
micro flora in raw milk are Gram positive (Hati, 2013).
๏ฑ Probiotics cultures is live microorganisms influence the health of the
human or animal host (Tyler, 2006).
4. Application and Action of Lactic fermented Starter Cultures
๏ฑAll dairy fermentations use lactic acid bacteria for acidification and flavor production.
๏ฑ lactic acid bacteria are genetically diverse, common characteristics of this group
include being:-
๏ผ Gram-positive
๏ผ Nonโspore forming
๏ผ Nonpigmented and
๏ผ Growing anaerobically but being aerotolerant; and
๏ผ Obligately fermenting sugar with lactic acid as a major end product.
๏ฑ A starter culture can produce particular characteristics in a more controlled and
predictable fermentation when added to milk.

10. Production of starter cultures
Stages of propagation
๏ฑ The process may involve two or more stages. Cultures in various stages of
propagation are known by the following names:
Commercial culture, master culture โ the original culture that the dairy buys
from the laboratory.
Mother culture
โข prepared from master culture at the dairy.
โข prepared daily and the origin of all cultures made at the dairy.
Intermediate culture โ an intermediate step in the manufacture of large
volumes of bulk starter.
Bulk starter โ the starter used in production (Gรถsta, 1995).
11. Stages in the process
๏ฑ The process is essentially the same for production of mother culture,
intermediate culture and bulk starter .
๏ฑ It comprises the following stages:
๏ Heat treatment of the medium - 90 โ 95ยฐC and held for 30 to 45
minutes.
๏ Cooling to inoculation temperature- 20 โ 30ยฐC for mesophilic types
of bacteria and 42 โ 45ยฐC for thermophilic types.
๏ Inoculation
Continuedโฆ.
12. ๏ Incubation
โข The incubation time is determined by the types of bacteria in the
culture, the inoculation dosage
โข can vary from 3 to 20 hours.
๏Cooling of the finished culture
โข Cooling to 10 โ 12ยฐC is often practiced to be used within the next 6
hours.
โข If more than 6 hours, it is advisable to cool it to about 5ยฐC
๏ Storage of the culture
โข The lower the temperature, the better the cultures keep.
โข Freezing with liquid nitrogen to โ160ยฐC and storage at that
temperature preserve cultures very well.
Continuedโฆ.
13. DVS cultures
๏ฑ The concentrated culture is added directly to the vat, without need
for on - site starter propagation.
๏ฑ DVI starters have become more accessible in recent times as the
technology for concentration and preservation has been improved.
๏ฑ DVI can provide advantages, especially for factories that lack the
specialized facilities and trained personnel necessary for reliable
bulk starter preparation (Taylor & Francis, 2006).
Continuedโฆ.
14. ๏ฑ DVS cultures need no activation or other treatment prior to use.
๏ฑ Freeze-dried DVS cultures are water-soluble granules, 2-5 mm in
diameter
๏ฑ Freeze dried DVS cultures should be stored at -18ยฐC (0ยฐF) or below.
๏ฑ If freeze-dried cultures are stored correctly, the shelf life is at least 24
months.
๏ฑ At +5ยฐC (41ยฐF) the shelf life is at least 6 weeks.
Continuedโฆ.
15. Traditional starter cultures
๏ผ Traditionally, a starter is propagated by adding an amount of
grown culture to a small quantity of intensely heated skim
milk.
๏ผ These traditional methods are still practiced today for small-
to mid-scale production facilities, as well as in less developed
countries and in homemade-type products.
๏ผ Traditional methods are prone to slow or failed fermentations,
contamination, and inconsistent quality (Sonia, 2012).

16. ๏ผ Lactic acid producing fermentation has been known for thousands
of years.
๏ผ Many different cultures used this method of food processing to
improve the storage quality, palatability, and nutritive value.
๏ผ Today lactic acid bacteria are mainly associated with a group of
dairy products such as cheese, yoghurt, kefir, and buttermilk.
๏ผ Lactic acid bacteria have been associated with beneficial health
effects (Hati, 2013).
Range of LAB used as starter cultures
17. ๏ฑ Lactic acid bacteria causes rapid acidification of the raw
materials through the production of organic acids, primarily lactic
acid.
๏ฑ They also produce many important by-products such as:-
๏ผ Acetic acid
๏ผ Ethanol
๏ผ Aroma compounds
๏ผ Bacteriocins
๏ผ Exopolysaccharides and
๏ผ Several enzymes.
๏ These by-products enhance product shelf life, microbial safety,
improve texture, and ultimately contribute to the pleasant sensory
profile of the end product (Hati, 2013).

18. ๏ฑ Probiotics are living microorganisms, when ingested
influence the health of the host by improving the
composition of intestinal microflora.
๏ผA prebiotic -a nondigestible food ingredient selectively
stimulating the growth and/or activity of bacteria in the colon.

22. Acidophilus milk
๏ฑ Lactobacillus acidophilus is used as a starter culture.
๏ฑ For the production, milk is heat processed at 95ยฐC and goes through
homogenization. Then cooled to 37ยฐC and inoculated with 2-5%
commercial L. acidophilus pure culture and left for incubation for 12-24
hours.
๏ฑ After, milk is cooled to 5ยฐC and kept under cold conditions.
๏ฑ It is beneficial to people with diarrhea and intestinal gas problems.
Probiotic fermented milk products
23. Bifidus milk
๏ฑ The first infant product produced with Bifidobacteria.
๏ฑ In the process, milk is standardised and homogenised and kept at 80-120
ยฐC for 5-10 minutes.
๏ฑThen, 10% bifidobacteria starter culture (Bifidobacterium bifidum and
Bifidobacterium longum) is inoculated to milk and the milk is left for
incubation at 37ยฐC until coagulation.
๏ฑ Once it reaches to a pH value of 4.3-4.7, incubation is ended.
๏ฑ Bifidus milk is easy to digest and is still used for the treatment of
gastrointestinal and liver diseases and for constipation

24. Yakult product:
๏ฑ Yakult is a probiotic milk product that is produced using L. casei Shirota
strain.
๏ฑ This strain is resistant to gastric and duedonal acid, can populate and
form antimicrobial substances in small intestine and
๏ฑ Has the ability to enhance the activity and quantity of macrophages.
๏ฑ It is demonstrated to be beneficial for health and is on the market in 15
different countries including European countries.

25. ๏ฑ There are currently 12 genera of lactic acid bacteria, of which :-
๏ผ Lactobacillus
๏ผ Streptococcus
๏ผ Lactococcus and
๏ผ Leuconostoc are commonly found in dairy starter
cultures.
๏ผ A fifth genus Enterococcus is occasionally found in
mixed-strain (undefined) starter cultures (Taylor &
Francis, 2006).
Taxonomy of LAB
26. Leuconostocs
๏ฑ All Leuconostocs specie are capable of producing lactic acid, CO2 and
aromatic compounds (ethanol and acetic acid) from glucose.
๏ฑ These organisms are normally used along with lactic acid bacteria
(LAB) in multiple or mixed strain cheese starter cultures, which produces
flavour compounds.
๏ผ Leuconostoc cremoris
๏ผ Leuconostoc citrovorum
๏ผ Leuconostoc dextranicum
๏ฑ Leuconostoc spp. are distinguished from other lactic acid bacteria by being
mesophilic heterofermentative cocci (Abdel, 2017).
Identification of Lactic acid Bacteria
27. ๏ฑ The streptococcus is classified as a thermophile growing at 45ยฐC, and
higher.
๏ฑ widely used in the production of yoghurt and some types of cheese such
as Mozzarella cheese.
๏ฑ Streptococcus thermophilus is the only species of this genus found in
starter cultures.
๏ฑ It is a component, along with lactococci, in some DVI / DVS cultures in
which it produces acid rapidly during scalding.
๏ฑ Streptococcus thermophilus is sensitive to low levels of salts and in
particular to sodium chloride concentrations of around 2% (Abdel, 2017).
Streptococcus
Continuedโฆ.
28. ๏ฑ Lactobacillus genus is composed of a large group of:-
๏ผGram positive
๏ผRod-shaped bacteria.
๏ผSome species are homofermentative while others are
hetrofermentative.
๏ฑ Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus is widely used
along with Streptococcus thermophilus as a starter in yoghurt
production (Abdel, 2017).
Lactobacillus
Continuedโฆ.
29. ๏ฑ Lactobacillus acidophilus, typically present in the digestive
system, it is widely used as a probiotic.
๏ฑ Lactobacilli are the most acid tolerant of the lactic acid bacteria,
preferring to initiate growth at acidic pH (5.5โ6.2) and lowering
the pH of milk to below 4.0.
๏ฑ Lactobacilli are slow to grow in milk in pure culture.
๏ผFor this reason, they are generally used in combination with S.
thermophilus.

30. ๏ฑ Major mesophilic microorganisms used for acid production in dairy
fermentations.
๏ฑ Five species are recognized, only one, Lc. lactis, is of significance in dairy
fermentations.
๏ฑThe most perceived habitat for the lactococci is dairy products. They are:-
๏ผ Non- motile
๏ผ Coccu- shaped
๏ผ Homofermentative bacteria that
๏ผ Grow at 10 ยฐ C but not at 45ยฐ C
๏ฑ The utilization of lactococci is widespread and has the longest convention in
industrial starter culture technology.
๏ผ Strains of Lc. lactis produce nisin, which is a relatively wide range
bacteriocin (Abdel, 2017).
