Abstract
In this review, the fermentation process (lactic acid fermentation) of white cabbage is completely coveraged. Fermentation is a very complex dynamic process with numerous physical, chemical and microbiological changes affecting quality of the final product. The sequence of lactic acid bacteria development in the fermentation process, which is characterized by the growth and change of pools of various microorganisms, is described. In place of lactic acid microorganisms Leuconostoc mesenteroides comes Lactobacillus brevis, and then propagated Lactobacillus plantarum. The main factors to be taken into account in the fermentation and storage of sauerkraut are given. In order to start the spontaneous fermentation process, it is necessary that the lactic acid bacteria present on the surface of fresh raw materials prevail over the pathogenic microflora. At the same time, the use of starter cultures is a good alternative to natural fermentation, as this ensures the proper flow of the process and the finished product of good quality. The methods of heat treatment, such as pasteurization and sterilization, allowing to extend the shelf life of the finished fermented product. Various types of packaging that are best used for fermented products are also described: plastic bags, glass and metal cans. It is specified what hygienic norms should be observed at production of sauerkraut. It is shown that fermented (fermented) cabbage has probiotic properties that have a beneficial effect on the human body. It is noted that the use of lactic acid microorganisms (starter cultures) in the fermentation process of white cabbage favorably affects the whole process, as it suppresses the development of pathogenic and other undesirable microorganisms on the surface of fresh raw materials and allows to produce a product with improved functional properties.
