Summary

Forty six additives at different concentrations from 1 to 5% are compared for their ability to increase survival of a mixed culture of Lactococcus lactis during freeze-drying. Aspartic acid, calcium oxide, manganese chloride, sodium bi-carbonate, caramel and glycerophosphate give a variable effect according to concentration. The high strengths are disastrous. Only ascorbic acid and mannitol have improved survival during freeze-drying and stability during storage of Lactococcus lactis.
