| Abstract: | Commercially produced samples of citrus molasses, unpasteurized orange juice and frozen concentrated orange juice were qualitatively assayed for lactic acid bacteria. Two species of Lactobacillus (L. fermentun and L. plantarum) and three species of Leuconostoc (Le. mesenteroides subsp. dextranicum, Le. mesenteroides subsp. mesenteroides and Le. paramesenteroides) were found. L. fermentum and Le. paramesenteroides have not previously been reported in citrus products. |
