most of them belonging to Lb.plantarum group (Pennacchia et al. 2006 ).
Klingberg และ Budde (2006) demonstrated the capacity of two Lb. plantarum strains to survive the passage through the human GIT either as freeze - dried culture หรือ embedded in a sausage matrix. Microencapsulation has
also been proposed as an alternative for the incorporation of either probiotic
หรือ bacteriocinogenic strains. In the latter case, though, the inhibitory action of reuterin, producing
Lb. reuteri against E. coli O157:H7, was found to be reduced during sausage fermentation
compared with that of the free microorganism (Muthukumarasamy and Holley 2006, 2007 ).
