Influence of EDTA and its metal complexes on lactic acid fermentation.
A comparative study of the influence of EDTA and its metal complexes with Fe, Co, and Ce on lactic acid fermentation by Lactobacillus delbrueckii was done. It was observed that EDTA alone and its complex with Ce could increase the yield of lactic acid up to 1--2%, while complexes of EDTA with Fe and Co enhanced the yield up to 4--5%.
