Chemical changes of potential probiotic Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus pentosus starter cultures in natural Gemlik type black olive fermentation.

The aim of this study was to determine the ability of probiotic Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus pentosus starter cultures to maintain Olea europaea L. cv. Gemlik fermentation and some chemical changes occurred by HPLC. It was observed that starter cultures decreased the pH by increasing the acidity of the fermentation medium. In addition, it was determined that the number of yeast-mold (Y-M) and aerobic mesophilic bacteria (AMB) were lower than the number of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in the samples with starter cultures. As the fermentation period progressed, it was observed that the amount and variety of phenolic substances increased, albeit slightly, in the brined olive samples to which the starter culture was added. Alcohols, biogenic amines, sugars and organic acids increased or decreased in all samples. During the fermentation gallic acid, apigenin, kaempferol, curcumin, vanillin, caffeic acid, salicylic acid, putrescine, triamine, spermidine and maleic acid could not be detected.
