Abstract
The fermented food, burong dalag, prepared in many Filipino homes, was studied to determine the nature of the microbiological and chemical changes that occur during fermentation. This is a lactic acid bacterial fermentation in which the species Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Pediococcus cerevisiae, and Lactobacillus plantarum played the major acid-producing role. The pH was lowered to below 4.0, and about 0.9% acid as lactic acid was attained in 1 week. It was essential to keep the product covered well to exclude air and subsequent growth of yeasts and mold.
