"Production of acetate requires two major nutrients: lactate and ethanol. These are produced by lactic acid bacteria, and yeast, respectively, during the initial fermentation of cocoa pulp sugars," added Wittmann.The acetic acid bacteria plays an important role in processing these two nutrients together through different metabolic pathways which leads to the production of acetate from them. (More: Chocolate can help you lose weight!)"This discovery reveals a fine-tuned collaboration of a multi-species consortium during cocoa fermentation," says Wittman. Through the study, it can be understood that by improving the functions of the acetic acid bacteria and the production of acetate, the flavour of cocoa can be enhanced. The study has been published in the journal Applied and Environmental Microbiology.With inputs from Applied and Environmental Microbiology
