NEUARTIGE SCHUTZKULTUREN UND DEREN VERWENDUNG BEI DER KONSERVIERUNG VON LEBENSMITTELN ODER FUTTERMITTELN

摘要

Protective cultures for preserving food and animal feed that can be stored for limited periods by chilling comprising non-pathogenic lactic acid bacteria, is new. Protective cultures for preserving food and animal feed that can be stored for limited periods by chilling comprise non-pathogenic lactic acid bacteria, in which: (a) the bacteria have no metabolic activity below 7-8 [deg]C detectable by the senses; (b) the number with potential metabolic activity in 1-2 weeks below 7-8 [deg]C is less than 10 2>; and (c) the bacteria inhibit the growth of toxinogenic and/or toxi-infectious bacteria at not less than 7-8 [deg]C. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) lactic acid bacteria of the Lactococcus lactis subspecies lactis 1526 (DSM 12145) strain; and (2) food and animal feed containing the protective cultures.
