Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are the most commonly used microorganisms used in food preservation techniques such as fermentation. Lactic acid produced by LAB is a useful compound for food
preservation because it maintains the acidic conditions of the fermented products, and is lethal to bacteria that cause food spoilage
and food poisoning (Kobayashi et al., 2004). Most fermented foods
owe their origin to the fact that the processes used in their
production are inhibitory to many microorganisms. As a result,
fermented products generally have a longer shelf life than their
original substrate and their ultimate spoilage is different in char
