Abstract
Locally prepared tempe that underwent natural fermentation was characterized by the growth of Lactobacillus plantarum, Streptococcus lactis , Bacillus sp., Salmonella sp., Klebsiella sp., Lactococcus lactis , Rhizopus sp. and Staphylococcus sp., while fermentation carried out with the addition of varying levels of baobab pulp powder had mainly lactic acid bacteria (LAB)— Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus fermentum , Lactobacillus acidophilus and Rhizopus sp. dominating. Increasing concentrations of baobab pulp powder led to an increase in the population of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from 2.3×102 to 3.3×104 while it reduced the population of inoculated Rhizopus from 102 to only six colonies on malt extract agar (MEA).
