Abstract

Citrate metabolism plays an important role in many food fermentations involving lactic acid bacteria. Since citrate is a highly oxidized substrate, no reducing equivalents are produced during its degradation, resulting in the formation of metabolic end products other than lactic acid. Some of these end products, such as diacetyl and acetaldehyde, have very distinct aroma properties and contribute significantly to the quality of the fermented foods. In this review the metabolic pathways involved in product formation from citrate are described, the bioenergetic consequences of this metabolism for the lactic acid bacteria are discussed and detailed information on some key enzymes in the citrate metabolism is presented. The combined knowledge is used for devising strategies to avoid, control or improve product formation from citrate.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
