Abstract
The effect of water activity (a(w)), NaCl and liquid smoke concentrations o n the growth of Lactobacillus plantarum, was studied in MRS broth under ana erobic conditions. A complete 2(3) factorial design was used to determine i nfluential factors and interactions among these factors. NaCl concentration and a(w) had a major effect on the maximum biomass obtained but no interac tion influenced this response. Smoke did not affect either biomass nor acid ifying capacities.
