Abstract

The effect of temperature and pH on the proteolytic activity of lactic acid bacteria was studied. Lactobacilli and thermophilic streptococci showed highest proteolysis at 15 and 45°C, and mesophilic streptococci exhibited only slight activity at all temperatures used. Variations in pH also had a strong influence on casein hydrolysis; this effect was more evident in streptococci than in lactobacilli.
