Product Introduction
Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis is a species of lactic acid bacteria that plays an essential role in dairy fermentation. It is widely recognized for its probiotic properties. This strain is particularly valuable in the production of various fermented dairy products, contributing to flavor, texture, and preservation.
Production Process
The production process of Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis typically begins with the isolation of the strain from natural sources. The bacteria are then cultivated in a controlled environment with specific nutrients and pH levels to encourage optimal growth. After reaching sufficient cell density, the culture is processed, and the bacteria are harvested, often through centrifugation. The final product is usually dried to a powder form, making it suitable for commercial applications.
Product Benefits and Functions
Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis is known to produce lactic acid, which helps to lower the pH of food products, thereby inhibiting harmful bacteria. It also contributes to the development of desirable flavors and textures in cheese and yogurt. Furthermore, it can enhance gut health by supporting healthy digestion and promoting a balanced gut microbiota. Additionally, L. lactis has been associated with immune system support.
Product Application Scenarios
