16
Q

Made by the process called lacto fermentation

A

Sauerkraut fermentation

17
Q

Process to kill harmful pathogens

A

Pasteurization

18
Q

Anaerobic pathway of glycolysis

19
Q

Lactic acid is the only byproduct

A

Homolactic fermentation

20
Q

Alcohol and lactic acid are the byproducts

A

Heterolactic fermentation

21
Q

Roles of Lactobacillus in non-dairy fermentation

A

Preserve food by using bacterial antagonism, where lactic acid from fermentation inhibits spoilage and harmful bacteria.

22
Q

What are the physiological benefits of lactic acid bacteria in the human diet?

A

Lactic acid bacteria aid digestion, boost immunity, reduce disease risk, and protect against infections.

23
Q

What are the effects of lactic acid bacteria on the gastrointestinal tract?

A

They improve lactose absorption, eliminate pathogens, strengthen the intestinal barrier, and boost nonspecific immunity.
