3. Results and Discussion 3.1. Screening for Amylolytic Activity LAB are used in food manufacturing due to the many beneficial compounds they produce, such as some enzymes that improve the structure and the organoleptic properties of food [13,19]. In our study, only two showed amylolytic activity, E. mundtii SRBG1 and E. gallinarum SRBG2. While amylolytic activity is important in fermentation and improving starch-based food quality [20], most LAB do not possess this property [13].
