What is Lactic Acid Start Culture?
Also known as lactic acid bacteria, a lactic acid starter culture is a living microorganism that consumes sugar in food and produces lactic acid. Lactic acid bacteria and coagulase-negative staphylococci may be used as starter cultures. Additionally, certain yeasts and molds may be used.
It’s used in cured meats to promote fermentation and to protect the food from becoming contaminated with pathogens. Starters may also be used to shorten ripening times.
