Abstract: | Microorganisms associated with fermentation ofmasa wereLactobacillus plantarum, Pediococcus acidilactici, Lactobacillus fermentum andSaccharomyces cerevisiae. During the fermentation of maize grains, the temperature and moisture increased and the pH decreased. Most amino acids decreased in concentration during fermentation, with glutamic acid being the most abundant amino acid, but he protein content of the masa increased during fermentation. The bacteria played the major role in the fermentation.
Résumé Les microorganismes associés avec la fermentation demasa sontLactobacillus plantarum, pediococcus acidilactici, Lactobacillus fermentum etSaccharomyces cerevisiae. Durant la fermentation de grains de mais, la température et l'humidité augmentent, et le pH diminue. La concentration de la plupart des acides aminés diminue durant la fermentation. L'acide aminé le plus abondant est l'acide glutamique. Toutefois, le contenu en protéines dumasa augmente au cours de la fermentation. Les bactéries jouent le rôle majeur dans la fermentation. |
