Summary
Lactic fermentation of unripe green tomatoes as a tool to produce food ingredients is a\nviable alternative for adding value to industrial tomatoes unsuitable for processing and left in large\nquantities in the fields. Fermentation using starter cultures isolated from the fruit (plant-matrix\nadapted) can have advantages over allochthonous strains in obtaining fermented products with\nsensory acceptability and potentially probiotic characteristics. This paper details the characterisation\nof the unripe green tomato lactic microbiota to screen LAB strains for use as starter cultures in\nfermentation processes, along with LAB strains available from INIAV’s collection. Morphological,\nbiochemical (API system), and genomic (16S rDNA gene sequencing) identification showed that\nthe dominant LAB genera in unripe green tomato are Lactiplantibacillus, Leuconostoc, and Weissella.\nAmong nine tested strains, autochthonous Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and allochthonous Weissella\nparamesenteroides showed tolerance to added solanine (200 ppm) and the best in vitro probiotic\npotential. The results indicate that the two LAB strains are promising candidates for manufacturing\nprobiotic fermented foods from unripe green tomatoes.
