Mutants of lactobacillus casei defective in carbon catabolism regulation

摘要

The invention relates to the use of mutants of <Italic>L. casei</Italic> having at least a mutation impairing the regulation of a carbon catabolite repression (CCR) mechanism involving the PTS protein HPr, for the preparation of a food product.

<Paragraphs id="pa02" num="0002" xmlns:base="http://www.sipo.gov.cn/XMLSchema/base">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.
