Study of microbiological and physicochemical characteristics of fermented table olives in Cyprus and the multifunctional properties of the predominant microbiota
Abstract
Table olives are one of the most well-known traditionally fermented vegetables and their global consumption is increasing exponentially. According to the directly brining method, table olives are produced spontaneously, without any pre-treatment. This process remains empirical and inconstant, since it is strongly affected by physicochemical attributes of the fruit and the microbiota coming from the olive fruit and the environment. Nowadays, process modernization is extremely recommended worldwide, aiming to innovative products and/or processes. The stabilization of fermentation and thus, increasing the added value of the final product is a highly needed innovation making one of the oldest traditional food processes and products highly modernized. Furthermore, the reduction levels of sodium chloride used during processing is one of the main industry’s challenges. In this regard, in the present thesis, the significant contribution of a commercial starter culture containing L. plantarum t ...
