Decreased sugar concentration in vegetable and fruit juices by growth of functional lactic acid bacteria.

Ishii M, Matsumoto Y, Nishida S, Sekimizu K

Leuconostoc carnosum #7-2, L. gelidum #4-2, and L. mesenteroides 8/11-3, which were isolated from fermented plant foods, are lactic acid bacteria. We previously reported that these bacteria are functional lactic acid bacteria whose innate immunity-stimulating activities are high based on a silkworm muscle contraction assay. The concentrations of these three lactic acid bacteria increased to more than 1
