Products and Technology Misocarine LR Product and Technology Properties and Application Labeling and Food Law
Product and Technology Misocarine LR Misocarine LR is a naturally fermented liquid product, which inhibits growth of bacteria and moulds and optimizes the taste profile of meat products Spices and glucose syrup are naturally fermented by lactic acid bacteria and acetic acid bacteria Misocarine LR is labeled as spice extract or onion extract
Production Process spices (onion) / glucose syrup supplements enzymatic hydrolysis fermentation broth culture 1 fermentation fermented spices (lactic acid) culture 2/3 fermentation fermented spices (acetic acid) neutralisation (sodium hydroxide) heat inactivation separation of biomass fermentation supernatant clarification concentration MISOCARINE LR
Properties of Misocarine LR Growth Inhibition During fermentation, lactic acid bacteria and acetic acid bacteria produce small molecular organic acids and antimicrobial substances. Those substances accumulate in Misocarine LR. Modes of bacterial growth inhibition Organic acids, antimicrobial substances and their salts can penetrate bacterial cells and molds inactivate metabolic acitivity of bacteria and moulds even at neutral ph values (feedback inhibition / accumulation of salts) reduce the water activity (a w -value)

Properties of Misocarine LR Mode of Inhibition at neutral ph ph 6.0 Organic acids are fully undissociated at neutral ph values ph 7.0 Salts of organic acids are able to inhibit the metabolism of bacteria and moulds
Properties of Misocarine LR Mode of Inhibition at acidic ph + + ph 4.5 Organic acids are fully dissociated at ph values below 4.5 + + + + + ph 7.0 + + + ph 4.5 Organic acids lower the internal ph value of bacteria and moulds at low external ph
