MUTANTS OF LACTOBACILLUS CASEI DEFECTIVE IN CARBON CATABOLISM REGULATION

摘要

The invention relates to the use of mutants of L. casei having at least a mutation impairing the regulation of a carbon catabolite repression (CCR) mechanism involving the PTS protein HPRr, for the preparation of a food product. The use of said mutants allows for instance to impart to said food products an improved texture and flavor, and/or a higher content in aroma compounds.
