Lactic aicd bacteria(LAB)는 전통적으로 식품의 발효과정 중에 사용되는 미생물이다. Lactic acid bacteria를 이용한 bacteriocinogenic culture와 lactic acid bacteria에서 생산되는 산물은 식품의 부패에 원인이 되는 미생물과 병원성균에 대한 생육억제효과을 지니고 있다. 이러한 이유로 생선제품, 유제품. 육제품과 발효되지 않은 냉장식품 등의 식품저장에 lactic acid bacter

Traditionally, lactic acid bacteria(LAB) is microorganism that has been used for food fermentation. Bacteriocinogenic culture and by-products of lactic acid bacteria have the antimicrobial effect. The antimicrobial effect of lactic acid bacteria enable to extend the shelf life of many foods through fermentation processes. Therefore, a lot of investigation of antimicrobial compounds from LAB have been studied on the effect of foods preservation of fish, meat, dairy product, refreserated nonfermentive food and so on. However a little research on the effects of LAB in fruit and vegetables preservation has been reported. In this study, effectiveness of LAB as a quality preservative in fruit and vegetables storage were reviewed.
