The Lactobacillus brevis subsp. lindneri CB1 fructose-negative strain utilized fructose in co-fermentation with maltose or glucose. Compared to the maltose (17 g/l) fermentation, the simultaneous fermentation of maltose (10 g/l) and fructose (7 g/l) increased cell yield (A620 from 2.6 to 3.3) and the concentrations of lactic acid and especially of acetic acid (from 2.45 g/l to 3.90 g/l), produced mannitol (1.95 g/l) and caused a decrease in the amount of ethanol (from 0.46 g/l to 0.08 g/l). The utilization of fructose depended on the continuous presence of maltose in the growth medium and the two carbohydrates were consumed in a molar ratio of about 2:1. The presence of tagatose (a fructose stereoisomer) partially inhibited fructose consumption and consequently caused a decrease of the end products of the co-metabolism. Since maltose was naturally present during sourdough fermentation, the addition of only 6 g fructose/kg wheat dough enabled the co-fermentation of maltose and fructose by L. brevis subsp. lindneri CB1. A higher titratable acidity and acetic acid concentration, and a reduced quotient of fermentation (2.7) were obtained by co-fermentation compared with normal sourdough fermentation. Some interpretations of the maltose-fructose co-fermentation are given.
