Fermentative Production of White Pepper Using Indigenous Bacterial Isolates

  • 발행 : 2004.11.01

초록

Three Bacillus strains were isolated from soil samples. Morphological and physiologi­cal characterization indicated that the isolated strains were B. mycoides, B. licheniformis and B. brevis. White pepper was produced from black pepper by the fermentative method using the isolates in shake flaks as well as in a large-scale fermenter. Volatile oil and piperine contents of the product were $3.2\%$ (v/w) and $4\%$ (v/w) respectively. The moisture content was $15\%$. The mi­crobial contamination was less than 10 per 100 g. The product also exhibited excellent storage stability.
