The aim of this research was to study the potential of malolactic fermentation to modify the composition of the juices of sea buckthorn, chokeberry and lingonberry. Juices were prepared with and without pectinolytic enzyme treatment, followed by fermentation with commercially available strains of Lactobacillus plantarum, originally isolated from fermented plant materials. The juices before and after the fermentation were analyzed with GC-FID, HPLC-DAD, and HPLC-MS. Enzyme treatment significantly increased the phenolic content in the juices by 11–50%. None of strains showed ability to ferment lingonberry juice. On the other hand, L. plantarum DSM 10492 and DSM 20174 converted all malic acid to lactic acid in sea buckthorn and chokeberry juices, respectively. Fermentation with DSM 10492 reduced the content of flavonols by 9–14% and hydroxycinnamic acids by 20–24% in chokeberry juice. Flavonol glycosides and sugars in sea buckthorn as well as anthocyanins in chokeberry remained unaffected by the fermentation.
