Abstract

Idli batter is obtained by autofermentation of wet ground mixture of split, dehusked blackgram (Phaseo/us mungo) and rice (Oryza sativa). Natural microbial load of the ingredients of the environment serve as Inoculum for the initiadoo of fermentation. Gas production and leavening of the batter are attributed to the heterofermentative Leuc01/ os/oc mesenteroides. Batter obtained from botels aDd restaurants showed yeast participadOD in the leavening of jdli battel', whleb was conJinned by the presence of C~ by GLC analysis. Yeasts involved have been identified as Trichosporan pu/lulans, Torulopsis candida and T. holmii.
