DescriptionPhenyllactic acid (PLA) is an antifungal metabolite produced by lactic acid bacteria (LAB). Lactic acid bacteria are naturally associated with many foods or their raw ingredients and are popularly used in food fermentation to enhance the sensory, aromatic, and textural properties of food. These microorganisms are well recognized for their biopreservative properties, which are achieved through the production of antimicrobial compounds such as lactic acid, diacetyl, bacteriocins, and other metabolites.
