Preparation of fermented medium containing plant fibers, useful in preparation of foods of increased fiber content comprises lactic fermentation of aqueous medium containing soluble and insoluble plant fiber

摘要

Preparation of a liquid fermented medium (A) based on soluble and insoluble plant fibers (B). Preparation of a liquid fermented medium (A) based on soluble and insoluble plant fibers (B) comprises at least one incubation of a medium containing water and a mixture of (B) with at least one homofermentative lactic bacterium (LB), i.e. Lactobacillus plantarum; L. paraplantarumor L. pentosus. The mixture of (B) contains at least 40wt.% insoluble fibers and the total fiber content is at least 20% of the total dry matter content, by weight. The fibers have neither been prehydrolyzed or enzymatically predigested nor gelatinized. Independent claims are also included for: (1) (A) prepared by the new process; (2) preparing raw or cooked food products (C) that includes at least one step of incubating (A); and (3) (C) prepared by method (2).
