BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In the manufacture of yogurt, the management of lactic acid bacteria starter culture and its proper use are very important in determining the quality of yogurt. Lactic acid bacterium starter culture is roughly classified into two types, a bulk starter and a concentrated starter. The concentrated starter is easier to handle than a bulk starter, and is a desirable form of starter because it does not require advanced technology for management and use. Culture.

[0003] The production of such a concentrated starter requires a technique for obtaining a highly concentrated culture solution of lactic acid bacteria. Conventionally, as a technique for obtaining a high-concentration culture solution of lactic acid bacteria, a method of centrifuging a culture of lactic acid bacteria is known. However, in this method, physical stress acts on the cells, so that the damage to the cells is large, and a large-scale facility is required to obtain a large amount of a high concentration culture solution. Inefficient because of On the other hand, by connecting the filtration device to the culture device and supplying a fresh medium while filtering out the growth inhibitory substances that accumulate as the culture progresses out of the culture system, an environment suitable for the growth of bacteria is maintained. It is known that a high-concentration culture solution of bacterial cells can be obtained also by a method of continuing culturing while performing the so-called continuous culture method.
This method has an advantage that damage to the cells is reduced and a large amount of a high concentration culture solution can be obtained with a small-scale device. For example, the method disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 6-69367 is an example of this continuous culture method. In culturing lactic acid bacteria (Bifidobacterium), the sugar concentration of the medium is adjusted to 1 to 1.5% by weight. An inhibitor of bacteria produced in the culture medium by culturing is removed through a filtration membrane provided in communication with the culture tank, and the culture solution from which the inhibitor has been removed is circulated to the culture tank, and the filtration membrane is removed. A method of replenishing a culture tank with a fresh medium in a liquid amount corresponding to a portion removed through the medium is described. In this culture operation,
It is specified that after the lapse of time (about 4 hours in the example) from the start of culture when the inhibition phenomenon due to lactic acid production appears, it is necessary to increase the medium supply rate in accordance with the growth of the cells. However, in general, as the cells grow, the filter membrane is more likely to be clogged, and as a result, the amount of filtration is reduced and the supply of the culture medium is delayed. In other words, as described in this method, in order to realize a method of increasing the medium supply rate in accordance with the growth of cells, it is necessary to extremely increase the membrane area. It is not a practical method.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Streptococcus salivarius subs, a typical yogurt starter lactic acid bacterium
p.thermophilus (ST bacterium) has high auxotrophy during its growth and low acid resistance. Therefore, in order to continuously culture ST bacteria, it is necessary to supply necessary nutrient components abundantly and to rapidly discharge lactic acid, which is a metabolite, out of the culture system. When the above-mentioned method is applied to the high-concentration culture of this ST bacterium, usually, as described above, the bacterial cells proliferate, clogging of the filtration membrane occurs, the amount of filtration decreases, and the medium supply rate decreases. As a result, lactic acid, which is an unnecessary substance, easily accumulates, so that the growth of bacterial cells is easily stopped. In other words, in the above-described method, unless the film area is extremely widened, the ST can be stably performed in a short time.
A high concentration culture of the bacterium cannot be obtained. The inventors of the present invention have eagerly studied conditions for continuously culturing the ST bacterium and have found the present invention.

Culture FIG. 1 shows an overview of the culture apparatus. 40 in culture tank 1
The culture was started by injecting 0 ml of the normal medium and inoculating 20 ml of the preculture cultured in the normal medium. Culture temperature is about 3
The temperature was adjusted to 5 ° C., and the pH of the culture solution was monitored using the pH sensor 4.
The culture was performed while adjusting the pH by feeding the solution.
After 3 hours from the culture, the culture solution was circulated using the circulation pump 2 and the membrane module (pore diameter 0.2 μm, membrane area 0.04
The culture solution was filtered using m 2 and a filtration pressure of 0.2 kgf / cm 2 ) 3. During the filtration, the amount of the culture solution in the culture tank 1 is 400
The culture was continued by feeding the culture medium for addition from the culture tank 7 into the culture tank 1 so as to maintain the ml. The dilution rate at this time was set to 3.0 at the maximum. The culture was terminated when 12 hours had elapsed from the start of the culture.

[0010] 1. Effect of medium components on growth of bacteria For the IFO13957 strain, continuous culture was performed while changing the concentration of yeast extract in the medium for addition, and the effect of the concentration of yeast extract in the medium for addition on growth was observed. Table 2 shows the results.
It was shown to. In addition, the viable cell count in Table 2 shows the highest value obtained during the culturing, and is generally a numerical value at 9 to 11 hours after the culturing.

2. Influence of Dilution Rate on Growth of Bacteria Next, continuous culture was similarly performed using the IFO13957 strain at different dilution rates to compare the growth of the bacteria. The results are shown in Table 3. From the results in the preceding section, the culture was performed with the yeast extract concentration of the addition medium being 1.0%. Table 3
The number of viable bacteria in the medium indicates the highest value obtained during the culture, and is generally a numerical value at 9 to 11 hours after the culture.

[Table 3] As shown in Table 3, as the dilution ratio increased, the number of viable bacteria increased. As in the present invention, by culturing at a high dilution ratio from the beginning of filtration, the lactic acid concentration in the culture solution is kept low, and the conditions suitable for the growth of bacteria are maintained for a long time. It is considered that the number of bacteria increased.
From the standpoint of providing desirable growth conditions for lactic acid bacteria, the higher the dilution rate, the better, and even if the dilution rate is increased only during a certain period of time, no significant effect can be expected, and the dilution rate is continuously high. (A constant value of 1.0 or more) must be maintained.

Thus, in the high concentration culture of ST bacterium,
A high-concentration culture solution with a large number of viable bacteria is obtained by culturing while setting the concentration of the yeast extract to 0.5 to 2.0% and maintaining the dilution ratio at a constant value of 1.0 or more. Proved possible. These facts indicate that the number of viable bacteria can be increased by setting conditions that can directly improve the growth environment of the bacteria, such as promptly supplying nutrients and removing unnecessary substances.

In the above-mentioned experiments, the lactose concentration in the medium (normal medium and medium for addition) was set to 2.0%, but lower than that, for example, 1.0% as in the conventional example. At 1.5%, the cultivation time becomes extremely long, so that the equipment operation time and the raw materials to be consumed are required, and the cost is high. In other words, by setting the lactose concentration in the medium to at least 2.0%, the culturing time can be suppressed to at most 12 hours,
Manufacturing costs can be reduced, and work (management) time can be reduced.

ST strain ZER61 suitable for yogurt preparation
Using the 410 strains, continuous culturing was carried out in accordance with the above-mentioned method to obtain a high concentration culture solution. At that time, the yeast extract concentration in the medium for addition was 0.5%, and the dilution ratio was 3.0 at the maximum. The viable cell count in the obtained culture solution was 3.0 × 10 10 cfu / ml. Since the viable cell count in the high concentration culture was about 15 times that of the bulk starter of this strain, it was 1/15 that of the bulk starter.
Was inoculated as a concentration starter to prepare yogurt. The preparation process was as follows. Raw milk, skim milk powder,
Fermented milk mix (mixed with non-fat milk 9.
5%, milk fat content 3.1%) was sterilized (120 ° C., 2 seconds) and homogenized (15 Mpa) using a plate sterilizer.
Cool to 3 ° C. After inoculating 2 wt% of the acidophilus bulk starter to the mix, the mix is divided into two equal parts. On the one hand, ZER614 obtained as described above
0.13% by weight of 10 strains of a high concentration culture is inoculated, and the other is inoculated with 2% by weight of a bulk starter of the same strain. 100 g of each is filled in a container and fermented at 41 ° C. When the lactic acidity reaches an appropriate value, the fermentation is terminated and cooling is performed in a refrigerator at 5 ° C. In this way,
A comparison was made between a high-concentration culture solution according to the present invention and a conventional bulk starter in yogurt production.

[Table 4] As shown in Table 4, the quality of the yogurt prepared using the high-concentration culture solution obtained by the culture method of the present invention was comparable to that of the bulk starter. This indicates that a high concentration culture solution of ST bacterium can be used instead of a bulk starter, and by using it, the amount of starter used during yogurt production can be reduced, and starter management can be reduced. It will be easier. In this example, the effect of the high-concentration culture solution according to the present invention was described for the production of what is called plain yogurt, but the use of the present invention is not limited thereto, and soft yogurt, drink yogurt, etc. Can be used for yogurt production.
