The present invention relates to a biotechnological process for the production of a fermented pollen comprising the inoculation of pollen with at least one lactic bacterium of the species Lactobacillus kunkeei selected from Lactobacillus kunkeei PF12 (DSM 32843), PF13 (DSM 32845) and/or PL13 (DSM 32844) and the fermentation of the pollen inoculated with said lactic bacterium. The fermented pollen obtained has nutritional and organoleptic properties similar to bee bread naturally produced inside the honeycomb of the beehive and finds application in the food and nutraceutical field. The invention further encompasses Lactobacillus kunkeei PF12 (DSM 32843), PF13 (DSM 32845) and/or PL13 (DSM 32844) as such and compositions comprising these strains.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a biotechnological process for the production of a fermented pollen comprising the inoculation of pollen with at least one lactic bacterium of the species Lactobacillus kunkeei selected from Lactobacillus kunkeei PF12 (DSM 32843), PF13 (DSM 32845) and/or PL13 (DSM 32844) and the fermentation of the pollen inoculated with said lactic bacterium. The fermented pollen obtained has nutritional and organoleptic properties similar to bee bread naturally produced inside the honeycomb of the beehive and finds application in the food and nutraceutical field. The invention further encompasses Lactobacillus kunkeei PF12 (DSM 32843), PF13 (DSM 32845) and/or PL13 (DSM 32844) as such and compositions comprising these strains.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
