Leuconostoc, characteristics, use in dairy technology and prospects in functional foods

Hemme, Denis, Foucaud-Scheunemann, Catherine·2004·International Dairy Journal

Abstract

This review presents up to date comprehensive data about Leuconostoc, relative to their habitat, taxonomy, metabolism, and genetics, their implications in health and safety, and their present and potential use in dairy technology and functional foods.

Statistics

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Leuconostoc spp. play an important role in altering the organoleptic quality and texture of food products such as milk, butter, cheese, and meat.

    “Leuconostoc spp. play an important role in altering the organoleptic quality and texture of food products, such as milk, butter, cheese, and meat [88,90].”
  • Leuconostoc are immobile, do not form spores, and lack catalase and cytochromes.

    “Leuconostocci are immobile, do not form spores, and lack catalase and cytochromes [41,43,90,92].”
  • Leuconostoc species are facultative anaerobes, intrinsically resistant to vancomycin, and do not hydrolyze arginine.

    “Leuconostoc species are facultative anaerobes, intrinsically resistant to vancomycin and do not hydrolyze arginine [39,90].”
  • Leuconostoc are heterofermentative and produce D-lactate, ethanol, CO2, and small amounts of acetate from glucose metabolism via the phosphoketolase pathway.

    “They are heterofermentative and produce D-lactate, ethanol, CO2, and small amounts of acetate from glucose metabolism via the phosphoketolase pathway [41,43,66,90,93].”

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.
