Galactose normally accumulates in dairy foods after milk fermentation with conventional starter cultures and gives rise to serious effects on functionalities of fermented dairy foods. Tagatose-6P pathway (lac operon) and Leloir pathway (gal operon) are responsible for lactose/galactose metabolism in lactic acid bacteria (LAB). Leloir pathway is a common pathway in LAB whereas Tagatose-6P pathway is mainly found in Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris, Enterococcus faecium, and Enterococcus faecalis. This review provides new insights into using specific above LAB as starter culture for galactose reduction in fermented dairy foods.
