Abstract:

Capsella bursa-pastoris L. and tomato mixed juice was fermented with Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus plantarum. The fermentation process was optimized in a 5 L batch cylinder and the kinetic models of cell growth, lactic acid formation, and glucose consumption were established. Results showed that the theoretic values of the models and the experimental data were in good agreement. The kinetic models were helpful to practical reactor design, craft management and control of the fermentation process.

Key words: Capsella bursa-pastoris L, tomato, lactic acid bacteria, batch-fermentation, kinetic model
