What science says

flavor pairing evidence

“This wine had ‘floral’, ‘banana’, ‘lime’, ‘tropical fruit’ and ‘sauerkraut’ aroma scores intermediate to”

sequential fermentation → produced → ‘floral’, ‘banana’, ‘lime’, ‘tropical fruit’ and ‘sauerkraut’ aroma scores intermediate

technique parameter

“Strains of Lact. curvatus and Lact. sake isolated from fermenting sauerkraut were identified by hybridization with species specific 23S rRNA-targeted oligonucleotide probes and further characterized.”

Lact. curvatus and Lact. sake → isolated from → sauerkraut

process mechanism

“In this environment Lact. curvatus and Lact. sake provide up to 50% of the microbial flora especially of the later phase, depending on the process conditions.”

Lact. curvatus and Lact. sake → provide → up to 50% of the microbial flora during later phase of sauerkraut fermentation

process mechanism

“In fermenting sauerkraut, Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. mesenteroides is the major organism only during the early phase.”

Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. mesenteroides → dominate → microbial flora during early phase of sauerkraut fermentation

technique parameter

“A lactic strain associated with sauerkraut fermentation appeared to grow at a lower minimal a(w) in a glycerol-adjusted medium than in a system adjusted with NaCl; however, none of the sauerkraut organisms grew at a(w) levels of <0.95 when NaCl was the solute.”

glycerol-adjusted medium → supports → growth of lactic strain associated with sauerkraut fermentation at a(w) < 0.95
