2023 article

CO2-mediated bloater defect can be induced by the uncontrolled growth of Enterobacteriaceae in cucumber fermentation

Zhai, Y., Pagan-Medina, C. G., & Perez-Diaz, I. M. (2023, July 19). FOOD SCIENCE & NUTRITION.

author keywords: bloater defect; cucumber fermentation; Enterobacter
TL;DR: It is concluded that the metabolic activity of the Enterobacteriaceae indigenous to cucumber can produce sufficient CO2 in cucumber fermentations to induce bloater defect. (via Semantic Scholar)
