This paper characterises the directions of innovative activities undertaken by food industry enterprises concerning the manufacturing of food products. Based on the subject literature and secondary statistical data, the status of food industry innovativeness and areas of innovative activities related to implementation of technological and non-technological innovations are presented. The activities of enterprises focus on manufacturing new products in response to the ever-changing needs and expectations of consumers. In particular, the production of so-called functional food (which seeks to promote health, minimise the risk of specific diseases, improve psychophysical fitness, lose weight, etc.) is increasingly extensive. Manufacturers must also improve the technologies and techniques of product manufacturing, packaging and storage.

Apple pomace, the main by-product in apple processing, is a cheap source of bioactive compounds that could be used in the food industry. However, the value of this by-product is still far from being fully realized. In this study, 11 strains of Lactobacillus strains were assayed for β-glucosidase activity, and only Lactobacillus rhamnosus L08 (L. rhamnosus L08) showed high cell-membrane associated β-glucosidase activity. We then evaluated the effects of fermentation of apple pomace using the selected strain, focusing on the biotransformation of polyphenols and antioxidant capacity. We found that L. rhamnosus L08 fermentation significantly reduced the contents of quercitrin and phlorizin in apple pomace, while increasing the contents of quercetin and phloretin. The contents of gallic acid, epicatechin acid, caffeic acid, and ferulic acid were also increased in apple pomace after fermentation. In addition, the antioxidant activities of apple pomace were enhanced during fermentation, based on the bioconversion of phenolic profiles. Our results demonstrate that lactic acid bacteria fermentation is a promising approach to enhance the bioactivity of phenolic compounds in apple pomace. Moreover, this study demonstrates that, as a valuable processing by-product with bioactive components, apple pomace can be used in the food industry to provide economic benefits.

Two Balkan Peninsula endemics, Nepeta rtanjensis and N. argolica subsp. argolica, both characterized by specialized metabolite profiles predominated by iridoids and phenolics, are differentiated according to the stereochemistry of major iridoid aglycone nepetalactone (NL). For the first time, the present study provides a comparative analysis of antimicrobial and immunomodulating activities of the two Nepeta species and their major iridoids isolated from natural sources—cis,trans-NL, trans,cis-NL, and 1,5,9-epideoxyloganic acid (1,5,9-eDLA), as well as of phenolic acid rosmarinic acid (RA). Methanol extracts and pure iridoids displayed excellent antimicrobial activity against eight strains of bacteria and seven strains of fungi. They were especially potent against food-borne pathogens such as L. monocytogenes, E. coli, S. aureus, Penicillium sp., and Aspergillus sp. Targeted iridoids were efficient agents in preventing biofilm formation of resistant P. aeruginosa strain, and they displayed additive antimicrobial interaction. Iridoids are, to a great extent, responsible for the prominent antimicrobial activities of the two Nepeta species, although are probably minor contributors to the moderate immunomodulatory effects. The analyzed iridoids and RA, individually or in mixtures, have the potential to be used in the pharmaceutical industry as potent antimicrobials, and in the food industry to increase the shelf life and safety of food products.

Preparation of soymilk-based product with probiotics is reasonably a novel approach in the field of fermented functional foods. The aim of this study was to develop riboflavin enriched fermented soy curds with either or combination of the two riboflavin producing probiotic strains of Lactobacillus plantarum i.e., MTCC 25432 (BBC32B) and MTCC 25433 (BBC33), and to compare the technological and functional properties of its developed products. Acidification rate and lactic acid production were enhanced with L. plantarum and its combination in a shorter time to reach pH 4.7. Hardness and cohesiveness were significantly (p < 0.05) higher for fermented soymilk by co-culture of L. plantarum followed by individual strains. Similarly, higher G′ (6.25 × 102 Pa), G” (2.30 × 103 Pa) and G* (8.00 × 102 Pa) values observed for the combination of both L. plantarum strains showed that the gel formed was firmer and had solid character. The riboflavin content of product developed with a combination of test cultures was significantly higher (342.11 µg/L) than individual cultures and control. The final product had a higher probiotic count (more than 9 log cfu/mL), which is also required for functional food containing probiotics.

Изучение биосовместимости молочнокислых бактерий и других микроорганизмов-антагонистов, выделенных из природных источников, является актуальной задачей. В данной работе впервые показано взаимное влияние изолятов молочно-кислых бактерий и других микроорганизмов-антагонистов при совместном культивировании. Установлено, что изолят 1 является биосовместимым с изолятами 6, 13, 19 и 20. Изолят 6 активно растет в присутствии изолятов 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13 и 16. Изолят 7 биосовместим с изолятами 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 16, изолят 8 является биосовместимым с изолятами 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 13 и 16. Для изолята 9 наблюдается биосовместимость с изолятами 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 16, для изолята 10 - с изолятами 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 13, 16. Изолят 11 показывает удовлетворительные ростовые характеристики при совместном культивировании с изолятами 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 16. Изолят 12 биосовместим с изолятами 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13 и 16. Изолят 13 является биосовместимым с изолятами 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 16. Изолят 16 биосовместим с изолятами 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13. Изолят 19 является биосовместимым с изолятами 1, 6, 13 и 20, изолят 20 - с изолятами 1, 6, 13 и 19. Полученные результаты позволяют сделать вывод о том, что изоляты 1, 6, 19 и 20 являются близкородственными, так же как изоляты 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 и 16. The study of the biocompatibility of lactic acid bacteria and other antagonist microorganisms isolated from natural sources is an urgent task. This work shows for the first time the mutual influence of isolates of lactic acid bacteria and other microorganisms-antagonists during co-cultivation. It was found that isolate 1 is biocompatible with isolates 6, 13, 19, and 20. Isolate 6 actively grows in the presence of isolates 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, and 16. Isolate 7 is biocompatible with isolates 6, 8, 9, 10 , 11, 12, 13, 16, isolate 8 is biocompatible with isolates 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 13 and 16. Isolate 9 is biocompatible with isolates 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 16, for isolate 10 - with isolates 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 13, 16. Isolate 11 shows satisfactory growth characteristics when co-cultivated with isolates 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 16. Isolate 12 is biocompatible with isolates 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13 and 16. Isolate 13 is biocompatible with isolates 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 16. Isolate 16 is biocompatible with isolates 6, 7, 8 , 9, 10, 11, 12, 13. Isolate 19 is biocompatible with isolates 1, 6, 13 and 20, isolate 20 - with isolates 1, 6, 13, and 19. The results obtained suggest that isolates 1, 6, 19 and 20 are closely related as well as isolates 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 1 2, 13 and 16.
