TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of microbial fermentation, and particularly relates to a high-density fermentation metabolic regulation method of lactic acid bacteria. BACKGROUND
[0002] Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) is a collective term for bacteria that produce large amounts of lactic acid by utilizing fermentable carbohydrates. This type of bacteria is widely distributed in nature and has rich species diversity. Except for a few, most of them are essential and have important physiological functions in the human body, and are widely present in the intestinal tract of the human body.
[0003] The organic acids, special enzyme systems, acid bacteriocins and other substances produced by lactic acid bacteria through fermentation have special physiological functions. A large amount of research data shows that lactic acid bacteria can promote animal growth, regulate normal flora in the gastrointestinal tract, maintain microecological balance, thereby improving gastrointestinal function, increasing food digestibility and biological value, reducing serum cholesterol, controlling endotoxins, inhibiting the growth of putrefactive bacteria in the intestinal tract, and improving the body's immunity. Lactic acid bacteria are fermentation bacteria with one or several inherent functional characteristics. Their various advantages in the senses, technology, nutrition or health make them have great potential in the food fermentation industry. They can be used for food preservation, improving food safety, improving food texture and flavor, accelerating cheese ripening, producing functional factors, removing toxic and side factors, and thus making food have health care efficacy. Among them, lactic acid bacteriocin is a kind of antibacterial polypeptide or protein synthesized and secreted by lactic acid bacteria during metabolism, which has a lytic effect. Because lactic acid bacteria are considered as food-grade microorganisms recognized worldwide, the antibacterial substances produced by them can be directly applied in the food industry as natural food preservatives.
