    Abstract:
    Fermentation of two red beet cultivars (Wodan and Alto) with single-strain starter cultures consisting of selected strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) of plant origin (Weissella cibaria KKP2058, Levilactobacillus brevis ZF165) and a multi-strain culture (containing W. cibaria KKP2058, L. brevis ZF165, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum KKP1822, Limosilactobacillus fermentum KKP1820, and Leuconostoc mesenteroides JEIIF) was performed to evaluate their impact on betalains, free amino acids, formation of biogenic amines, and antioxidative properties of the juice formed. Next-generation sequencing data analysis used to identify the microbial community revealed that the starter cultures promoted the dominance of the genus Lactobacillus, and decreased the proportion of spoilage bacteria compared to spontaneously fermented juices. Generally, the fermentation process significantly influenced the amount of the analyzed compounds, leading in most cases to their reduction. The observed changes in the studied parameters depended on the starter culture used, indicating different metabolic activities of the LAB strains towards bioactive compounds. The use of multi-strain starter cultures allowed to largely prevent the reduction of betacyanins and histamine formation.
