Lactic acid bacteria fermentation kinetics: Asahi Group HoldingsRecent Research Landscape

The technical control lever is the specific metabolic activity of lactic acid bacteria within a plant-based substrate. Controlling these fermentation pathways directly engineers the flavor profile and microbial stability of the liquid.

What technical problems is Asahi Group Holdings addressing in Lactic acid bacteria fermentation kinetics?

Unpleasant plant protein off-flavors

(2)evidences

Plant-based proteins often develop off-flavors or lack the sensory profile of dairy during lactic acid fermentation. Improving flavor addresses the consumer rejection caused by undesirable metabolic byproducts.
