Sažetak

Idli is one of the very popular fermented breakfast foods in the Indian subcontinent, prepared from a cereal-legume mix of rice (Oryza
sativa) and black gram dhal (Phaseolus mungo). It is a natural microflora fermentation dominated by lactic acid bacteria and yeasts. Reduction
in fermentation time, quality standardization and enhancement of the idli batter is of great commercial importance for large scale idli production
and this can be potentially achieved though better understanding of idli batter fermentation. The present study documents how the dynamics of
microbial growth influence the batter characteristics and idli qualities like firmness, cohesiveness and springiness. The results show that the lactic
acid bacteria (LAB) and yeast and mould (YM) counts influence the physico-chemical properties of idli batter and consequently the organoleptic qualities of prepared idli.
