ABSTRACT EPS formed by lactobacilli in situ during sourdough fermentation may replace hydrocolloids currently used as texturizing, antistaling, or prebiotic additives in bread production. In this study, a screening of >100 strains of cereal-associated and intestinal lactic acid bacteria was performed for the production of exopolysaccharides (EPS) from sucrose. Fifteen strains produced fructan, and four strains produced glucan. It was remarkable that formation of glucan and fructan was most frequently found in intestinal isolates and strains of the species Lactobacillus reuteri, Lactobacillus pontis, and Lactobacillus frumenti from type II sourdoughs. By the use of PCR primers derived from conserved amino acid sequences of bacterial levansucrase genes, it was shown that 6 of the 15 fructan-producing lactobacilli and none of 20 glucan producers or EPS-negative strains carried a levansucrase gene. In sourdough fermentations, it was determined whether those strains producing EPS in MRS medium modified as described by Stolz et al. (37) and containing 100 g of sucrose liter−1 as the sole source of carbon also produce the same EPS from sucrose during sourdough fermentation in the presence of 12% sucrose. For all six EPS-producing strains evaluated in sourdough fermentations, in situ production of EPS at levels ranging from 0.5 to 2 g/kg of flour was demonstrated. Production of EPS from sucrose is a metabolic activity that is widespread among sourdough lactic acid bacteria. Thus, the use of these organisms in bread production may allow the replacement of additives.

ABSTRACT This study describes the genetic analysis of the riboflavin (vitamin B2) biosynthetic (rib) operon in the lactic acid bacterium Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris strain NZ9000. Functional analysis of the genes of the L. lactis rib operon was performed by using complementation studies, as well as by deletion analysis. In addition, gene-specific genetic engineering was used to examine which genes of the rib operon need to be overexpressed in order to effect riboflavin overproduction. Transcriptional regulation of the L. lactis riboflavin biosynthetic process was investigated by using Northern hybridization and primer extension, as well as the analysis of roseoflavin-induced riboflavin-overproducing L. lactis isolates. The latter analysis revealed the presence of both nucleotide replacements and deletions in the regulatory region of the rib operon. The results presented here are an important step toward the development of fermented foods containing increased levels of riboflavin, produced in situ, thus negating the need for vitamin fortification.

The production of exopolysaccharides (EPS) by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) has attracted particular interest in the food industry. EPS can be considered as natural biothickeners as they are produced in situ by LAB and improve the rheological properties of fermented foods. Moreover, much research has been conducted on the beneficial effects of EPS produced by LAB on modulating the gut microbiome and promoting health. The EPS, which varies widely in composition and structure, may have diverse health effects, such as glycemic control, calcium and magnesium absorption, cholesterol-lowering, anticarcinogenic, immunomodulatory, and antioxidant effects. In this article, the latest advances on structure, biosynthesis, and physicochemical properties of LAB-derived EPS are described in detail. This is followed by a summary of up-to-date methods used to detect, characterize and elucidate the structure of EPS produced by LAB. In addition, current strategies on the use of LAB-produced EPS in food products have been discussed, focusing on beneficial applications in dairy products, gluten-free bakery products, and low-fat meat products, as they positively influence the consistency, stability, and quality of the final product. Highlighting is also placed on reports of health-promoting effects, with particular emphasis on prebiotic, immunomodulatory, antioxidant, cholesterol-lowering, anti-biofilm, antimicrobial, anticancer, and drug-delivery activities.

Lactic acid bacteria have been isolated from several Indonesian indigenous fermented foods and screened for the potential strains as probiotic candidates. The aim of this study was to evaluate sensory properties and respondents’ preference of yogurt-like set and yogurt-like drink with various Indonesian indigenous probiotic strains produced by dairy industry. Indigenous probiotics of Lactobacillus plantarum MUT-7 and Lactobacillus plantarum DAD-13 were used to produce yogurt-like set and yogurt-like drink. Family perception toward yogurt-like drink was performed in Yogyakarta involving 100 family members. The yogurt-like products were also compared to yogurt containing commercial Lactobacilus bulgaricus and Streptococus thermophilus or commercial yogurt produced by dairy company. Several sensory evaluation toward sensory properties and panelist’s preference were performed in different cities.  The result showed that the indigenous probiotic L. plantarum DAD-13 and L. plantarum MUT-7 were potential to be used as a starter culture for the production of yogurt-like set and yogurt-like drink. The combination of indigenous probiotics and indigenous lactic acid bacteria S. thermophilus DAD-11 resulted in better sensory properties of yogurt set compared to combination of L. bulgaricus and S. thermophilus.

Bekasam is a fermented fish product made from fish, salt, and roasted rice or rice that is mixed and fermented for 7 days. This study aims to determine the effect of the addition of ground chili at different concentrations on total acid, pH value, total lactic acid bacteria, and sensory properties of cork fish bekasam. The research design used was completely randomized design, 3 treatments and 3 replications. The treatments given were IBG without the addition of ground chili, IBGC1 adding 10% ground chili and IBGC2 adding 20% ground chili. Data were collected for total acid, pH, and total lactic acid bacteria fermentation days 1, 3, 5, and 7. The sensory properties were observed on days 1 and 7. The results showed that the addition of ground chili can reduce pH during 7 days fermentation, but the increase in total acid was not significant. The addition of 10% ground chili has a positive effect on the growth of lactic acid bacteria. The addition of 20% ground chili showed an inhibition of the growth of lactic acid bacteria during fermentation. Sensory test results stated that panelists preferred bekasam with the addition of 10% ground chili compared to control brakes and the addition of 20% ground chili.
