The use of such a cassava fermentation starter for gari production had the following influences: a chang from a heterofermentative pattern pH decline rate and a greater production of lactic acid (50 g kg-1 DM). However, this starter did not appear to play a significant role in cassava detoxification, sinc it was observed that the level of endogenous linamarase relaced during the grating of the roots was sufficient to oernit the complete and rapid breakdown of linamarin.  alactic acid bacteria  aAmylase activity  aCyanide  aFermented cassava  aGari  aLactobacillus plantarun  aLinamaraes activity  aManihot esculenta Crantz  aStarter1 aGOSSELIN, L.1 aRAIMBAULT, M.  tJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture.gv.62, n.1, p.77-82, 1993.
