Which condition is NOT required for a successful sauerkraut fermentation?

  • A.Exclusion of air from the fermenting mass
  • B.A supply of fermentable sugar in the cabbage
  • C.Continuous stirring to aerate the vat
  • D.An appropriate concentration of salt

Answer: C

Correct answer: Continuous stirring to aerate the vat

Aeration is the one thing that must not be done: the lactic acid bacteria are anaerobic or facultative, and admitting air favours the film yeasts and moulds instead. Excluding air, providing sugar and using the right salt concentration are all genuine requirements.
