Abstract Background Lactic acid bacteria can synthesize dextran and oligosaccharides with different functionality, depending on the strain and fermentation conditions. As natural structure-forming agent, dextran has proven useful as food additive, improving the properties of several raw materials with poor technological quality, such as cereal by-products, fiber-and protein-rich matrices, enabling their use in food applications. In this study, we assessed dextran biosynthesis in situ during fermentation of brewers´ spent grain (BSG), the main by-product of beer brewing industry, with Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides DSM20193 and Weissella confusa A16. The starters performance and the primary metabolites formed during 24 h of fermentation with and without 4% sucrose (w/w) were followed. Results The starters showed similar growth and acidification kinetics, but different sugar utilization, especially in presence of sucrose. Viscosity increase in fermented BSG containing sucrose occurred first after 10 h, and it kept increasing until 24 h concomitantly with dextran formation. Dextran content after 24 h was approximately 1% on the total weight of the BSG. Oligosaccharides with different degree of polymerization were formed together with dextran from 10 to 24 h. Three dextransucrase genes were identified in L. pseudomesenteroides DSM20193, one of which was significantly upregulated and remained active throughout the fermentation time. One dextransucrase gene was identified in W. confusa A16 also showing a typical induction profile, with highest upregulation at 10 h. Conclusions Selected lactic acid bacteria starters produced significant amount of dextran in brewers’ spent grain while forming oligosaccharides with different degree of polymerization. Putative dextransucrase genes identified in the starters showed a typical induction profile. Formation of dextran and oligosaccharides in BSG during lactic acid bacteria fermentation can be tailored to achieve specific technological properties of this raw material, contributing to its reintegration into the food chain.

Broccoli (Brassica oleracea Italica) was fermented by cultures of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) as a potential source of natural folic acid. This study aimed to evalte characteristic changes and to identify folate compounds from broccoli extract, fermented by mixed LAB cultures (L. bulgaricus, S. thermophulus, L.acidophilus, Bd. bifidum). The formulation of broccoli extract was fermented with variation of LAB starter culture with concentrations of 10 and 20%(v/v), and the change of characteristic of folic acid compound during fermentation (0 to 48 hours) with an interval of 8 hours was evaluated. The results showed that the fermentation of broccoli extract with different concentration of LAB culture had an effect on the concentration of folic acid produced, as well as the change of concentration of folic acid during the fermentation time interval. The optimum condition was obtained based on the highest folic acid concentration of 6.74%, at culture concentration of 20% during 24 hour fermentation with the value of folic acid concentration of 72.11 μg/mL, pH value of 4.29, total sugars of 34.61%, total acids of 0, 97%, dissolved protein of 14.64 mg/mL and total LAB of log 13.02 + 0.05 cfu / ml.

The effects of milk supplementation with catfish bone hydrolysate (CBH) at levels of 0, 0.05, 0.15, and 0.5 % on the pH, lactic acid bacteria count (LABC), fermentation time, texture attributes and microstructure of yogurt were investigated. The addition of CBH stimulated acidification and reduced fermentation time (P < 0.05). In comparison with the control yogurt, CBH caused a decrease in product firmness, consistency, cohesiveness and index of viscosity/consistency. The additon of 0.5% CBH produced a higher decrease (P < 0.05). Scanning electron microscopy showed that CBH caused changes in microstructure of yogurt that had a coarser, less cross-linked microstructure than control yogurt.

The use of modern biotechnological approaches in the field of baking allows to improve the quality of finished products, reduce the duration of the technological cycle and increase the functional properties of bread. The aim of the study was to study the effect of ascorbic acid on the intensity of fermentation processes during dough maturation. The task of the work is to establish the optimal amount of improver — ascorbic acid, taking into account organoleptic, microbiological and structural-mechanical quality indicators. The intensity of microbiological and biochemical processes during dough maturation (fermentation) directly depends on the concentration of hydrogen ions compared to the total content of acid-reactive products, as well as redox potential, titrated acidity and titer of fermentation microflora.The introduction of ascorbic acid in the amount of 0.1—0.12 g/kg of flour, the fermentation time of the dough was reduced from 270 to 225 minutes, the speed and completeness of redox reactions (redox potential  -50 mV) were increased. redox potential reactions catalyzed by the enzymes peroxidases and catalases are associated with the oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids, which promote the action of lipoxygenase by disrupting its inhibitor - hydrogen peroxide. Experiments have confirmed the activation of the fermenting microflora of the dough and the increase of its titer. Indicators of active (pH 4.66—4.51) and titrated acidity (6.0—6.5 degrees Turner) are within the limits that fully meet the optimal conditions for the cultivation of lactic acid bacteria, which indicates the correct selection of the amount of ascorbic acid and the composition of the nutritious flour mixture.

Yoghurt is a pro-biotic beverage produced from the fermentation process of milk, namely from vegetable milk (soy milk) or animal milk (goat's milk and cow's milk). During the fermentation process, the chemical reactions that occur will turn milk into yogurt with the help of lactic acid bacteria. In the health sector, yogurt plays a role in increasing the body's immunity, digestive tract health and can prevent osteoporosis. In general, yogurt circulating in the community still has low nutritional content, so a more in-depth study needs to be done. The goal of this research is to examine the quality of yogurt by manipulating certain variables and adding other components to increase the yogurt's quality. Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus were used as starter as much as 12.5 mL each (10% of 500 mL of cream milk). The fixed variables in this study were the volume of goat's milk 500 ml, cream concentration 6%, pasteurization temperature 85°C, pasteurization time 15 minutes and fermentation temperature 45°C, while the independent variables were varying the length of the fermentation process for 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 hours. From this study, it was concluded that yogurt with optimum results was obtained at a fermentation time of 6 hours, the pH value was 3.8, lactic acid content was 1.305%, protein content was 5.54%, fat content was 4.98%, and moisture content was 84.10%.
