The invention discloses a multi-element short-chain and medium-chain
fatty acid fermentation and microbial inoculum preparation method, and belongs to the technical field of
brewing microorganisms. According to the method disclosed by the invention, the functional bacterial liquid is prepared by co-
fermentation of the
mycobacterium lacticum and the thiophilic stenotrophomonas, so that the
biomass of the two microorganisms can be improved while the yield of
hexanoic acid is improved, and
valeric acid can be produced at the same time. When the'simplified
flora 'screened by the method for screening the functional simplified
flora for producing
hexanoic acid is used for preparing functional bacterial liquid, the yield of
hexanoic acid is relatively high, the yield of
butyric acid is relatively low, meanwhile, large-scale
continuous production operation can be realized through semi-
continuous feeding operation, and the production efficiency is remarkably superior to that of a
batch fermentation mode. After the composite short-chain and medium-chain
fatty acid produced by the technology is esterified by an
enzyme method, composite esters containing various esters can be obtained through conventional
distillation extraction, and the composite esters can be applied to
aroma enhancement of foods and beverage wines. In addition, the microbial inoculum obtained in the
fermentation process of short-chain and medium-chain fatty acids can be applied to pit mud preparation and pit maintenance.
