Abstract
Frozen compositions of lactic acid producing bacteria which incorporate an alkali metal salt of glycerophosphoric acid are described. These salts reduce damage to the bacteria upon freezing and storage which with certain bacteria is evidenced by enhanced lactic acid forming activity upon thawing and use of the compositions as fermented dairy product starter cultures.
