Abstract

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a non-protein amino acid, serves as a major inhibitory neurotransmitter in mammalian nervous systems. Various lactic acid bacteria can produce GABA by using glutamic acid as a substrate. Hence, the ability of lactic acid bacterial starter cultures to produce gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) during mushroom fermentation was investigated. The selected potential GABA-producing Lactobacillus plantarum L10-11 was cultured in MRS medium and dried by freezing dryer. The dried L. plantarum L10-11 powder was used as a starter for fermented mushroom (Nham-Hed) production. In this study 0.2% (w/w) of bacterial starter powder was mixed with 2.0% (w/w) of NaCl 20% (w/w) of cooked rice and 3.0% (w/w) of MSG and incubated at 35°C for 120 h, respectively. The results indicated that using this condition can produce the higher GABA content than the control sample approximately 72 times and also offered the higher GABA content than that of commercial Nham-Hed products. This study demonstrated that starter powder of L. plantarum L10-11 was successfully used in Nham-Hed in order to improve GABA content. Keywords : Nham-Hed ; GABA ; lactic acid bacteria ; fermented food
