Summary
Sayur asin is a fermented mustard cabbage product of Indonesia. The cabbage is fermented naturally in the presence of brined water taken from boiled rice. Fermentation was characterized by a sequential growth of the lactic acid bacteria, Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Lactobacillus confusus, Lactobacillus curvatus, Pediococcus pentosaceus, and Lactobacillus plantarum. Starch degrading species of Bacillus, Staphylococcus and Corynebacterium exhibited limited growth during the first day of fermentation. The yeasts, Candida sake and Candida guilliermondii contributed to the fermentation. Lactic acid, acetic acid, succinic acid, ethanol and glycerol were products of fermentation. Glucose, generated by the degradation of rice starch and maltose, was metabolized by the species that grew.
