Sample was inoculated to reach an initial lactic acid bacteria concentration of 10⁴CFU/g.
Con, control; Lm, Leuconostoc mesenteroides; Lp, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum; Lc, Latilactobacillus curvatus; Ls, Latilactobacillus sakei.
All values are mean±SD (n=3).
Means with different letters (^a-j) are significantly different from each other (p<0.05) within the same culture day, as determined by Duncan’s multiple range test.
