Development of Shelf-Stable Brined Vegetables by Lactic Acid Fermentation

Preservation of vegetables, viz., bitter gourd, carrot, capsicum, cucumber, French bean and gherkin by lactic acid fermentation was attempted. Properly prepared vegetables, packed in brine containing 2.5% equilibrated salt with additives, were allowed to undergo fermentation by their natural flora a...
