Rus-Fernández P, Fuentes A. Fermentation starters and bacteriocins as biocontrol strategies for table olives preservation: a mini-review. JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2024. [PMID: 39248037 DOI: 10.1002/jsfa.13874] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2024] [Revised: 04/24/2024] [Accepted: 08/23/2024] [Indexed: 09/10/2024]
Abstract
Biopreservation is a powerful strategy to prolong the shelf life of food products by applying naturally occurring microorganisms and/or their metabolites. Current food trends emphasise the need to develop alternatives for chemical or thermal preservation methods. In this line, different fermentation starters from table olives present the potential to control spoilage or pathogen-occurring microorganism in table olives storage. One of the most interesting family used as biopreservative culture is Lactobacillaceae and it has also been used in combination with yeasts as olive fermentation starter. Lactic acid bacteria, from Lactobacillaceae family, are characterised by the production of bacteriocins, proteins with the potential for preserving food by changing the organisation of the membrane of spoilage microorganisms. These bacteriocins-producing bacteria can be directly inoculated, although nanosystem technology is the most promising incorporation strategy. In table olives, the most commonly used starters are Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, Lactiplantibacillus pentosus, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Wickerhamomyces anomalus, among others. These strains with biopreservation characteristics, inoculated alone or in mixed cultures, ensure food safety by conferring the product added value and prolonging product shelf life. © 2024 The Author(s).

Chalkidiki green olives throughout industrial-scale spontaneous fermentation and 12-month storage: safety, nutritional and quality aspects. Food Res Int 2024; 191:114710. [PMID: 39059960 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2024.114710] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2024] [Revised: 05/30/2024] [Accepted: 06/26/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024]
Abstract
Table olives are among the most popular fermented foods and cv. Chalkidiki green table olives are particularly popular in both Greek and international markets. This work aimed at comparatively investigating the effect of processing method on the production of Spanish-style and natural cv. Chalkidiki green olives during fermentation and 12-month storage in brines with different chloride salts composition (NaCl, KCl, CaCl2) at industrial scale. All delivered products were safe with satisfactory color and texture characteristics. Employment of UPLC-HRMS revealed differences in metabolites' profile of polar extracts from olives and brines between the processing methods. Τhe application of alkali treatment drastically decreased the content of hydroxytyrosol and tyrosol in drupes, still an essential amount (1037-2012 and 385-885 mg/kg dry flesh, respectively) of these health-promoting phenolic compounds was retained in all products, even after storage. Noteworthy, fermentation of natural olives in brine (5 % NaCl) yielded in products with significantly lower Na levels in olive flesh (1.7 g/100 g), followed by Spanish-style olives fermented in low (4 %) and high (8 %) NaCl brines (2.7 and 5.2 g Na/100 g, respectively), supporting the efforts toward the establishment of table olives as functional food. Moreover, maslinic and oleanolic acids content was 1.5-2-fold higher in the natural table olives compared to the Spanish-style ones owing to the detrimental effect of alkali treatments. The processing method did not exert a differential effect on α-tocopherol content of olives. Sensory analysis indicated that all the final products were acceptable by consumers, with a slight preference for Spanish-style green olives fermented in brines with 50 % lower NaCl content. Present findings could be beneficial to the ongoing endeavor directed for the establishment of table olives as a source of bioactive compounds that concerns both industrial and scientific communities.

Abstract
Candida boidinii is a methylotrophic yeast with wide geographical distribution. In the present study, the microorganism was isolated from the Bahian semiarid and the enzymatic extract containing β-glucosidase was obtained through submerged fermentation. Response surface methodology was employed to optimize of fermentation medium. The higher production of β-glucosidase was obtained after 71 h of fermentation in an optimized medium composed of 3.35% glucose, 1.78% yeast extract and 1% peptone. The optimum pH and temperature of enzymatic activity were 6.8 (citrate-phosphate buffer) and 71.7 °C, respectively. Salts tested (10 mM) CaCl2, Na2SO4 and ZnSO4 promotes the increase of 91%, 45% and 80% of activity, respectively. The enzyme retained 64% ± 2.3 of its initial activity after 1 h heating at 90 °C. The production of reducing sugars was 95.94% after 24 h of hydrolysis and, with the addition of metal ions, this value increased more than 2 times. Among the supports analyzed for immobilization, chitosan showed higher residual activity during reuse. The immobilized enzyme showed higher activity at 60 °C with pH 6 and preserved almost 100% of the initial activity after 30 min at 70 °C.

Abstract
The Castelvetrano method is the most widely used among the various table olive processing styles in Sicily. After debittering, the product is stored at low temperatures to prevent the growth of undesirable microorganisms. In an effort to enhance the production process, yeast isolates underwent genotypic characterization and technological screening. The screening process identified two yeast strains Candida norvegica OC10 and Candida boidinii LC1, which can grow at low temperatures and tolerate high pH values (up to 10) and salinity [10% (w/v)]. During the monitoring period, the inoculated trials showed limited presence of spoilage/pathogenic microorganisms. Additionally, the yeasts limited oxidative phenomena and softening of the drupes. The organic compounds detected were higher in the inoculated trials than in the control, and cold storage induced aromatic decay, which was less pronounced in the trial inoculated with C. norvegica. Sensory analysis revealed that the inoculated trials scored higher in sweetness, hardness and crispness.

Effect of elaboration process, crop year and irrigation on acrylamide levels of potential table olive varieties. JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2023; 103:7580-7589. [PMID: 37483099 DOI: 10.1002/jsfa.12877] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2022] [Revised: 06/24/2023] [Accepted: 07/22/2023] [Indexed: 07/25/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Table olives are widely consumed in the Mediterranean diet, and several typical Spanish and Portuguese varieties could potentially be used as such. In order to ensure a good-quality product, the effect of different factors such as elaboration processes, irrigation conditions, crop year and their crossover interaction on acrylamide content and antioxidant compounds needs to be deeply studied. RESULTS When looking through irrigation, regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) presented lower acrylamide levels than rainfed conditions for 'Cordovil de Elvas', 'Picual' and 'Verdeal Alentejana'. No significant interactions were found between the type of irrigation and elaboration style for 'Arbequina' and 'Koroneiki' varieties. Although RDI had the largest concentration of total phenols, antioxidant activity was also the highest. The table olives harvested in the crop year of 2019 showed lower levels of acrylamide due to a significant relationship between the crop year and irrigation conditions. CONCLUSIONS Novel varieties to be marketed should be taken into consideration for table olive elaboration. The impact of the crop year on the bioactive value of table olives and crossover interactions relies strongly in climatological conditions. Last but not least, the benefit of selecting the best irrigation and elaboration methods is crucial to ensure desirable acrylamide levels. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Microbial community and volatilome changes in brines along the spontaneous fermentation of Spanish-style and natural-style green table olives (Manzanilla cultivar). Food Microbiol 2023; 113:104286.

Abstract
Microbial community and volatilome of brines were monitored during the spontaneous fermentations of Spanish-style and Natural-style green table olives from Manzanilla cultivar. Fermentation of olives in the Spanish style was carried out by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and yeasts, whereas halophilic Gram-negative bacteria and archaea, along with yeasts, drove the fermentation in the Natural style. Clear differences between the two olive fermentations regarding physicochemical and biochemical features were found. Lactobacillus, Pichia, and Saccharomyces were the dominant microbial communities in the Spanish style, whereas Allidiomarina, Halomonas, Saccharomyces, Pichia, and Nakazawaea predominated in the Natural style. Numerous qualitative and quantitative differences in individual volatiles between both fermentations were found. The final products mainly differed in total amounts of volatile acids and carbonyl compounds. In addition, in each olive style, strong positive correlations were found between the dominant microbial communities and various volatile compounds, some of them previously reported as aroma-active compounds in table olives. The findings from this study provide a better understanding of each fermentation process and may help the development of controlled fermentations using starter cultures of bacteria and/or yeasts for the production of high-quality green table olives from Manzanilla cultivar.

Assessment of Starters of Lactic Acid Bacteria and Killer Yeasts: Selected Strains in Lab-Scale Fermentations of Table Olives (Olea europaea L.) cv. Leccino. FERMENTATION-BASEL 2023.

Abstract
Olives debittering, organoleptic quality and safety can be improved with yeasts and lactic acid bacteria (LABs) selected strain starters, that allow for better fermentation control with respect to natural fermentation. Two selected killer yeasts (Wickerhamomyces anomalus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and Lactobacillus plantarum strains were tested for olive (cv. Leccino) fermentation to compare different starter combinations and strategies; the aim was to assess their potential in avoiding pretreatments and the use of excessive salt in the brines and preservatives. Lactobacilli, yeasts, molds, Enterobacteriaceae and total aerobic bacteria were detected, as well as pH, soluble sugars, alcohols, organic acids, phenolic compounds, and rheological properties of olives. Sugars were rapidly consumed in the brines and olives; the pH dropped quickly, then rose until neutrality after six months. The oleuropein final levels in olives were unaffected by the treatments. The use of starters did not improve the LABs’ growth nor prevent the growth of Enterobacteriaceae and molds. The growth of undesirable microorganisms could have been induced by the availability of selective carbon source such as mannitol, whose concentration in olive trees rise under drought stress. The possible role of climate change on the quality and safety of fermented foods should be furtherly investigated. The improvement of olives’ nutraceutical value can be induced by yeasts and LABs starters due to the higher production of hydroxytyrosol.

Cobrançosa Table Olive Fermentation as per the Portuguese Traditional Method, Using Potentially Probiotic Lactiplantibacillus pentosus i106 upon Alternative Inoculation Strategies. FERMENTATION 2022.

Abstract
Spontaneous fermentation of table olives, as per a traditional Mediterranean process, is still performed empirically; hence, final product quality is somewhat unpredictable. Our main goal was to validate an endogenous (potentially probiotic) lactic acid bacterium strain in Cobrançosa table olives as a vector for a more standardized process, further adding commercial value to the olives themselves. The traditional Portuguese fermentation process typically consists of two stages: sweetening, when olives are periodically washed with spring water to different proportions, and salting, when water is no longer changed, but salt is gradually added to the brine, up to 7–10% (w/w). Lactiplantibacillus pentosus i106 was inoculated as follows: (plan A) 2020/21 harvest, with 0, 3, 5, and 7% (w/v) NaCl, without sweetening; (plan B) 2020/21 harvest, with 5 and 7% (w/v) NaCl, during salting and sweetening; and (plan C) 2019/20 harvest, with 5% (w/v) salt, and sweetening and salting. Microbiological, physical, and biochemical evolutions were monitored for 8 months, and final nutritional and sensory features were duly assessed. Compared to the control, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) predominated over yeasts only if deliberately inoculated; however strain viability was hindered above 5% (w/w) NaCl, and LAB inhibited enterobacteria. Degradation of (bitter) oleuropein to hydroxytyrosol and verbascoside was faster upon inoculation. Color-changing olives from the 2020/21 harvest exhibited higher fat content and lower water content compared to green ones (2019/20 harvest), and different salt levels and inoculation moments produced distinct sensory properties. The best protocol was plan C, in terms of overall eating quality; hence, the addition of Lpb. pentosus i106 provides benefits as a supplementary additive (or adjunct culture), rather than a starter culture.

Abstract
Essential oils (EOs) find application as flavoring agents in the food industry and are also desirable ingredients as they possess preservative properties. The Mediterranean diet involves the use of a lot of herbs and spices and their products (infusions, EOs) as condiments and for the preservation of foods. Application of EOs has the advantage of homogeneous dispersion in comparison with dry leaf use in small pieces or powder. Among them, Laurus nobilis (bay laurel) L. EO is an interesting source of volatiles, such as 1,8-cineole and eugenol, which are known for their preservative properties. Its flavor suits cooked red meat, poultry, and fish, as well as vegetarian dishes, according to Mediterranean recipes. The review is focused on its chemistry, quality control aspects, and recent trends in methods of analysis and activity assessment with a focus on potential antioxidant activity and applications to olive industry products. Findings indicate that this EO is not extensively studied in comparison with those from other Mediterranean plants, such as oregano EO. More work is needed to establish authenticity and activity methods, whereas the interest for using it for the preparation of flavored olive oil or for the aromatization and preservation of table oils must be further encouraged.

Abstract
The main goal of this paper was to assess the ability of a combination of Candida boidinii and Bacillus pumilus to remove phenol in table olive processing water, as a function of some variables, like temperature, pH, a dilution of waste and the order of inoculation of the two microorganisms. At this purpose C. boidinii and B. pumilus were sequentially inoculated in two types of table olive processing water (fresh wastewater, FTOPW and wastewater stored for 3 months-aged wastewater, ATOPW). pH (6 and 9), temperature (10 and 35 °C) and dilution ratio (0, 1:1) were combined through a 2k fractional design. Data were modeled using two different approaches: Multifactorial Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) and multiple regression. A higher removal yield was achieved by inoculating B. pumilus prior to the yeast (192 vs. 127 mg/L); moreover, an increased efficiency was gained at 35 °C (mean removal of 200 mg/L). The use of two statistic approach suggested a different weight of variables; temperature was a global variable, that is a factor able to affect the yield of the process in all conditions. On the other hand, an alkaline pH could increase the removal of phenol at 10 °C (25-43%).

Abstract
During Pecorino Romano PDO cheese production, scotta (residual whey from ricotta cheese manufacturing) or siero (whey) can be integrated with autochthonous starters, natural and composed of an indefinite number of species and strains, or commercial selected starters to obtain scotta/siero-innesto. In this study, three biodiverse autochthonous natural starter cultures (SR30, SR56, and SR63) belonging to the Agris Sardegna BNSS microbial collection, composed of different strains belonging to the species Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus, Enterococcus faecium, and Limosilactobacillus reuteri were lyophilized and combined into two starter mixes (A and B). The scotta/siero-innesto and the Pecorino Romano obtained using natural starters were compared with those obtained using commercial selected starters during three seasons of the cheesemaking campaign. Different pH and microbial compositions for the scotta/siero-innesto obtained using natural or commercial starters were found, attributable to their different biodiversity. The six-month-ripened cheese microbiota was influenced mostly by the season of cheesemaking, whereas physico-chemical and sensory analyses did not highlight differences among the products obtained. In general, no effect attributable to the type of scotta/siero-innesto used was observed, allowing the conclusion that natural starter cultures can be used also in industrial-scale production, ensuring high stability in the technological performances and preserving the microbial, chemical, and sensory characteristics of Pecorino Romano PDO cheese.

Abstract
The fermentation of olives is usually carried out spontaneously by natural microbiota. Spontaneous fermentation has some disadvantages, such as the formation of defects in the end product due to the activities of undesirable microorganisms. The use of starter cultures could be a promising option to provide a more controlled fermentation environment and to reduce the risk of spoilage. Mixed starter culture use (generally selected Lactobacillus strains with or without yeasts) could reduce pH in a shorter time, producing a higher amount of lactic acid and enhancing microbial safety compared to fermentation with starter cultures containing single species or natural fermentation. Their use could also enhance the organoleptical properties of table olives. Particularly the use of yeast (such as strains of W. anomolus, S. cerevisiae) in the fermentation of olives, in combination or sequentially with lactic acid bacteria could result in an increase in volatile compounds and a more aromatic final product.

Abstract
This study aims to develop a method for the preparation of natural table olives using locally selected microorganisms and without resorting to the usual techniques which employ lye treatment and acids. The effects of parameters, such as lye treatment, inoculation with yeasts, substitution of organic acids with vinegar and/or acetic acid bacteria, and finally alternating aeration have been assessed. Four different combinations were applied to the “Picholine marocaine” olive variety using indigenous strains, namely Lactobacillus plantarum S1, Saccharomyces cerevisiae LD01 and Acetobacter pasteurianus KU710511 (CV01) isolated respectively from olive brine, Bouslikhen dates and Cactus. Two control tests, referring to traditional and industrial processes, were used as references. Microbial and physicochemical tests showed that the L3V combination (inoculated with A. pasteurianus KU710511 and L. plantarum S1 under the optimal growth conditions of the Acetic Acid Bacteria (AAB) strain with 6% NaCl) was found to be favorable for the growth of the Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) strain which plays the key role in olive fermentation. This result was confirmed by sensory evaluation, placing L3V at the top of the evaluated samples, surpassing the industrial one where a chemical debittering treatment with lye was used. In addition, alternating aeration served to increase the microbial biomass of both AAB and LAB strains along with Saccharomyces cerevisiae LD01 strain, but also to use lower concentration of NaCl and to reduce the deterioration of olives compared to the anaerobic fermentation process. Finally, a mixed starter containing the three strains was prepared in a 10-L Lab-fermenter from the L3V sample in order to improve it in subsequent studies. The prepared starter mixture could be suitable for use as a parental strain to prepare table olives for artisan and industrial application in Morocco.

Abstract
The production of volatile compounds in naturally fermented green table olives from Manzanilla cultivar was investigated. A total of 62 volatile compounds were detected after 24 weeks of fermentation. To clarify the contribution of yeasts to the formation of these compounds, such microorganisms were isolated from the corresponding fermenting brines. Five major yeast strains were identified: Nakazawaea molendinolei NC168.1, Zygotorulaspora mrakii NC168.2, Pichia manshurica NC168.3, Candida adriatica NC168.4, and Candida boidinii NC168.5. When these yeasts were grown as pure cultures in an olive-derived culture medium, for 7 days at 25 °C, the number of volatiles produced ranged from 22 (P. manshurica NC168.3) to 60 (C. adriatica NC168.4). Contribution of each yeast strain to the qualitative volatile profile of fermenting brines ranged from 19% (P. manshurica NC168.3) to 48% (Z. mrakii NC168.2 and C. adriatica NC168.4). It was concluded that C. adriatica NC168.4 presented the best aromatic profile, being a solid candidate to be part of a novel starter culture to enhance the organoleptic properties of naturally fermented green table olives.

Abstract
Table olives, a product of olive tree (Olea europaea L.), is an important fermented product of the Mediterranean Diet. Agronomical factors, particularly the cultivar, the ripening stage and the processing method employed are the main factors influencing the nutritional and non-nutritional composition of table olives and their organoleptic properties. The important nutritional value of this product is due to its richness in monounsaturated fat (MUFA), mainly oleic acid, fibre and vitamin E together with the presence of several phytochemicals. Among these, hydroxytyrosol (HT) is the major phenolic compound present in all types of table olives. There is a scarcity of in vitro, in vivo and human studies of table olives. This review focused comprehensively on the nutrients and bioactive compound content as well as the health benefits assigned to table olives. The possible health benefits associated with their consumption are thought to be primarily related to effects of MUFA on cardiovascular health, the antioxidant (AO) capacity of vitamin E and its role in protecting the body from oxidative damage and the anti-inflammatory and AO activities of HT. The influence of multiple factors on composition of the end product and the potential innovation in the production of table olives through the reduction of its final salt content was also discussed.

Industrial Strategies to Reduce Acrylamide Formation in Californian-Style Green Ripe Olives. Foods 2020; 9:foods9091202.

Abstract
Acrylamide, a compound identified as a probable carcinogen, is generated during the sterilization phase employed during the processing of Californian-style green ripe olives. It is possible to reduce the content of this toxic compound by applying different strategies during the processing of green ripe olives. The influence of different processing conditions on acrylamide content was studied in three olives varieties (“Manzanilla de Sevilla”, “Hojiblanca”, and “Manzanilla Cacereña”). Olives harvested during the yellow–green stage presented higher acrylamide concentrations than green olives. A significant reduction in acrylamide content was observed when olives were washed with water at 25 °C for 45 min (25% reduction) and for 2 h (45% reduction) prior to lye treatment. Stone olives had 21–26% higher acrylamide levels than pitted olives and 42–50% higher levels than sliced olives in the three studied varieties. When calcium chloride (CaCl2) was added to the brine and brine sodium chloride (NaCl) increased from 2% to 4%, olives presented higher concentrations of this contaminant. The addition of additives did not affect acrylamide levels when olives were canned without brine. Results from this study are very useful for the table olive industry to identify critical points in the production of Californian-style green ripe olives, thus, helping to control acrylamide formation in this foodstuff.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the isolation of indigenous lactic acid bacteria (LAB) with functional properties from Spanish-style cv. Chalkidiki green olive processing wastewaters (GOW). Predominant indigenous LAB could serve as bioaugmentation agents/starter culture for table olives production and protected designation of origin specification. Spontaneous fermentation of fresh GOW over different temperatures (15 °C to 50 °C) and pH values (3.5 to 11.5) for 30 d enabled the isolation/molecular identification of the lactic acid bacterium Enterococcus casseliflavus and the plant-associated bacterium Bacillus amyloliquefaciens subsp. plantarum. E. casseliflavus was found to reduce chemical oxygen demand by 72%. Its resistance to extreme pH values, salinity, and temperature was successfully modeled and the minimum inhibitory concentration of oleuropein against the bacterial growth was determined (0.9 g/L). Furthermore, hydroxytyrosol content was doubled (up to 553 mg/L) after GOW spontaneous fermentation under acidic conditions at 15 °C to 30 °C for 120 d, creating an additional source of input. These results highlight the significance and potential of E. casseliflavus in Spanish-style cv. Chalkidiki green olive processing.

Abstract
Table olives are considered the most widespread fermented food in the Mediterranean area and their consumption is expanding all over the world. This fermented vegetable can be considered as a natural functional food thanks to their high nutritional value and high content of bioactive compounds that contribute to the health and well-being of consumers. The presence of bioactive compounds is strongly influenced by a complex microbial consortium, traditionally exploited through culture-dependent approaches. Recently, the rapid spread of omics technologies has represented an important challenge to better understand the function, the adaptation and the exploitation of microbial diversity in different complex ecosystems, such as table olives. This review provides an overview of the potentiality of omics technologies to in depth investigate the microbial composition and the metabolic processes that drive the table olives fermentation, affecting both sensorial profile and safety properties of the final product. Finally, the review points out the role of omics approaches to raise at higher sophisticated level the investigations on microbial, gene, protein, and metabolite, with huge potential for the integration of table olives composition with functional assessments.

Abstract
Preservation of cheese microbiota biodiversity is central to the sensory quality of traditional and PDO cheeses. Lyophilized commercial selected starters, being advantageous in terms of cells concentration, are supplanting natural cultures causing important loss of microbial biodiversity in the dairy environment. Biodiversity could be recovered using natural starter cultures, however their cells concentration after propagation is lower than the commercial ones. Two autochthonous and biodiverse starter cultures (MixA and MixB) coming from scotta (residual whey from Ricotta cheese manufacture), collected in the 1960 s from Pecorino Romano PDO cheese manufactures, were revitalized in reconstituted commercial powder scotta. The aim of this study was the propagation of the microbial starter mixes increasing their bacterial concentration in the pellet, reducing nonessential scotta components by a fast and not-expensive method, without changing the microbial community balance. The behaviour of each mix inoculated in scotta was compared to that in half-concentrated, clarified, and half-concentrated-clarified scotta. Higher cells concentration in the pellets from the modified scotta was obtained, without changing technological performances and microbial fingerprint. The pellets obtained were reinoculated in commercial scotta for the preparation of the scotta-innesto (the typical starter for Pecorino Romano), and no differences were observed among the treatments after incubation. The reduction of nonessential scotta's components could help the reproduction of natural starter cultures preserving their properties.

Abstract
Spontaneous fermentation constitutes the basis of the chief natural method of processing of table olives, where autochthonous strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) play a dominant role. A thorough literature search has unfolded 197 reports worldwide, published in the last two decades, that indicate an increasing interest in table olive-borne LAB, especially in Mediterranean countries. This review attempted to extract extra information from such a large body of work, namely, in terms of correlations between LAB strains isolated, manufacture processes, olive types, and geographical regions. Spain produces mostly green olives by Spanish-style treatment, whereas Italy and Greece produce mainly green and black olives, respectively, by both natural and Spanish-style. More than 40 species belonging to nine genera of LAB have been described; the genus most often cited is Lactobacillus, with L. plantarum and L. pentosus as most frequent species—irrespective of country, processing method, or olive type. Certain LAB species are typically associated with cultivar, e.g., Lactobacillus parafarraginis with Spanish Manzanilla, or L. paraplantarum with Greek Kalamata and Conservolea, Portuguese Galega, and Italian Tonda di Cagliari. Despite the potential of native LAB to serve as starter cultures, extensive research and development efforts are still needed before this becomes a commercial reality in table olive fermentation.

Abstract
Table olives are one of the oldest vegetable fermented foods in the Mediterranean area. Beside their economic impact, fermented table olives represent also an important healthy food in the Mediterranean diet, because of their high content of bioactive and health-promoting compounds. However, olive fermentation is still craft-based following traditional processes, which can lead to a not fully predictable final product with the risk of spontaneous alterations. Nowadays, food industries have to face consumer demands for safe and healthy products. This review offers an overview about the main technologies used for olive fermentation and the role of lactic acid bacteria and yeasts characterizing this niche during the fermentation. Particular attention is offered to the selection and use of microorganisms as starter cultures to fasten and improve the safety of table olives. The development and implementation of multifunctional starter cultures in order to obtain heath-oriented table olives is also discussed.

Abstract
Twenty-seven Lactobacillus pentosus strains, and the undefined starter for table olives from which they were isolated, were characterised for their technological properties: tolerance to low temperature, high salt concentration, alkaline pH, and olive leaf extract; acidifying ability; oleuropein degradation; hydrogen peroxide and lactic acid production. Two strains with appropriate technological properties were selected. Then, table olive fermentation in vats, with the original starter, the selected strains, and without starter (spontaneous fermentation) were compared. Starters affected some texture profile parameters. The undefined culture resulted in the most effective Enterobacteriaceae reduction, acidification and olive debittering, while the selected strains batch showed the lowest antioxidant activity. Our results show that the best candidate strains cannot guarantee better fermentation performance than the undefined biodiverse mix from which they originate.

Abstract
Table olives are one of the most established Mediterranean vegetables, having an exponential increase consumption year by year. In the natural-style processing, olives are produced by spontaneous fermentation, without any chemical debittering. This natural fermentation process remains empirical and variable since it is strongly influenced by physicochemical parameters and microorganism presence in olive drupes. In the present work, Cypriot green cracked table olives were processed directly in brine (natural olives), using three distinct methods: spontaneous fermentation, inoculation with lactic acid bacteria at a 7% or a 10% NaCl concentration. Sensory, physicochemical, and microbiological alterations were monitored at intervals, and major differences were detected across treatments. Results indicated that the predominant microorganisms in the inoculated treatments were lactic acid bacteria, while yeasts predominated in control. As a consequence, starter culture contributed to a crucial effect on olives fermentation, leading to faster acidification and lower pH. This was attributed to a successful lactic acid fermentation, contrasting the acetic and alcoholic fermentation observed in control. Furthermore, it was established that inhibition of enterobacteria growth was achieved in a shorter period and at a significantly lower salt concentration, compared to the spontaneous fermentation. Even though no significant variances were detected in terms of the total phenolic content and antioxidant capacity, the degradation of oleuropein was achieved faster in inoculated treatments, thus, producing higher levels of hydroxytyrosol. Notably, the reduction of salt concentration, in combination with the use of starter, accented novel organoleptic characteristics in the final product, as confirmed from a sensory panel; hence, it becomes obvious that the production of Cypriot table olives at reduced NaCl levels is feasible.

Abstract
Microorganisms represent most of the biodiversity of living organisms in every ecological habitat. They have profound effects on the functioning of any ecosystem, and therefore on the health of our planet and of human beings. Moreover, microorganisms are the main protagonists in food, medical and biotech industries, and have several environmental applications. Accordingly, the characterization and preservation of microbial biodiversity are essential not only for the maintenance of natural ecosystems but also for research purposes and biotechnological exploitation. In this context, culture collections (CCs) and microbial biological resource centres (mBRCs) are crucial for the safeguarding and circulation of biological resources, as well as for the progress of life sciences. This review deals with the expertise and services of CCs, in particular concerning preservation and characterization of microbial resources, by pointing to the advanced approaches applied to investigate a huge reservoir of microorganisms. Data sharing and web services as well as the tight interconnection between CCs and the biotechnological industry are highlighted. In addition, guidelines and regulations related to quality management systems (QMSs), biosafety and biosecurity issues are discussed according to the perspectives of CCs and mBRCs.

Effect of Sequential Inoculum of Beta-Glucosidase Positive and Probiotic Strains on Brine Fermentation to Obtain Low Salt Sicilian Table Olives. Front Microbiol 2019; 10:174.

Abstract
In the present study, the β-glucosidase positive strain Lactobacillus plantarum F3. 3 was used as starter during the fermentation of Sicilian table olives (Nocellara Etnea cultivar) at two different salt concentrations (5 and 8%), in order to accelerate the debittering process. The latter was monitored through the increase of hydroxytyrosol compound. In addition, the potential probiotic Lactobacillus paracasei N24 strain was added after 60 days of fermentation. Un-inoculated brine samples at 5 and 8% of salt were used as control. The fermentation was monitored till 120 days through physico-chemical and microbiological analyses. In addition, volatile organic compounds and sensorial analyses were performed during the process and at the end of the fermentation, respectively. Lactic acid bacteria and yeasts were, in depth, studied by molecular methods and the occurrence of the potential probiotic N24 strain in the final products was determined. Results highlighted that inoculated brines exhibited a higher acidification and debittering rate than control ones. In addition, inoculated brines at 5% of salt exhibited higher polyphenols (hydoxytyrosol, tyrosol, and verbascoside) content compared to samples at 8% of NaCl, suggesting a stronger oleuropeinolytic activity of the starter at low salt concentration. Lactobacilli and yeasts dominated during the fermentation process, with the highest occurrence of L. plantarum and Wickerhamomyces anomalus, respectively. Moreover, the potential probiotic L. paracasei N24 strain was able to survive in the final product. Hence, the sequential inoculum of beta-glucosidase positive and potential probiotic strains could be proposed as a suitable technology to produce low salt Sicilian table olives.
