Antonie van Leeuwenhoek Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The proteolytic systems of lactic acid bacteria are important as a means of making protein and peptide N available for growth and as part of the curing or maturation processes which give foods their characteristic rheological and organoleptic properties. The proteolytic systems of lactic acid bacteria are described in relation to their growth and their functions in protein-rich foods. Their role in the manufacture of milk products is discussed.
