In this study, the chemical composition, proteolysis and in vitro angiotensin-converting enzyme-(ACE)-inhibitory and antioxidant activities of white cheeses made using probiotic adjunct cultures (Bifidobacterium bifidum DSMZ 20456 and Lactobacillus acidophilus DSMZ 20079) were investigated. The cheeses were ripened in a vacuum package or brine for 120 d at 4 °C. The cheese samples maintained the probiotic characteristics of the viable cells as >106 cfu/g even after ripening for 120 d. The proteolysis degrees in terms of water-soluble nitrogen/total nitrogen (WSN/TN), trichloroacetic acid-soluble nitrogen/total nitrogen (TCA-SN/TN) and phosphotungstic acid-soluble nitrogen/total nitrogen (PTA-SN/TN) values in the cheeses increased throughout the ripening. The highest levels of proteolysis were found in cheese made using Lb. acidophilus DSMZ 20079 and ripened in a vacuum package. ACE-inhibitory activity of the water soluble extracts (WSEs) of the cheeses increased significantly (P < 0·05) throughout the ripening (IC50 values 82·78–140·99 μg/ml). Use of Lb. acidophilus DSMZ 20079 and packaging under vacuum significantly increased the percentage of ACE inhibiting activity. WSEs had DPPH scavenging activity (the IC50 values were 2·41–5·39 mg/ml and the inhibition values were 5·10–10·38%), increasing up to 60 d ripening. In the present study, it was observed that Lb. acidophilus DSMZ 20079 was more effective than Bifido. bifidum DSMZ 20456 in terms of the cheese characteristics investigated.

Effects of proteolytic (Neutrase, Bacillus subtilis-originate, 0.20 (P1) and 0.40 g 100 L−1 (P2)) and lipolytic (Piccantase A, Mucor miehei-originated, 0.05 (L1) and 0.10 g 100 L−1 (L2)) enzyme supplementations to cheese milk on lipolysis and proteolysis characteristics of 90-day ripened cheese samples were investigated in this study. While enzyme supplementation did not have significant effects on titratable acidity, fat and protease-peptone nitrogen ratios of cheese samples, dry matter, salt, protein, water soluble nitrogen, 12% trichloroacetic acid soluble nitrogen ratio (TCA-SN), 5% phosphotungstic acid soluble nitrogen (PTA-SN), casein nitrogen ratios, penetrometer value, total free fatty acids (TFFA) and total free amino acids (TFAA) were significantly influenced by enzyme supplementations. Individual free amino acids (15 of them) were also determined. Free amino acid contents of enzyme-supplemented cheeses were higher than the control cheese and the values increased in all cheese samples with the progress of ripening (p < 0.05). The highest amino acids in all periods of ripening were identified as glutamic acid, lysine, proline and aspartic acid. The major (Ca, P, Na, K, Mg) and minor (Zn, Fe, Cu, Mn) mineral levels of cheeses decreased with the progress of ripening and the effects of enzyme supplementations on these attributes (except for magnesium and manganese) were found to be significant (p < 0.01). As to conclude, enzyme supplementations increased proteolysis and lipolysis and accelerated ripening and thus reduced ripening durations. Especially the enzyme ratios in P1 and L1 cheeses were found to be suitable for reducing the ripening period in White cheese without any adverse effects.

Abstract Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE)-inhibitory activity in water soluble extracts (WSEs) of kefir was investigated. Kefir was produced traditionally using kefir grains and stored at refrigerated temperature for 20 days. During storage period (on 1, 5, 10, 15 and 20 days) in vitro ACE-inhibitory activity in WSEs was determined. ACE was purified from human plasma to determine kinetic parameters. Purified ACE had a specific activity of 20.75 EU.mg−1, a yield of 16.6% with a factor of 22100. The inhibition effects of kefir on ACE increased at 15 storage days than other storage days. Some microbiological and physicochemical characteristics of kefir were also studied. Counts of presumptive LAB on M-17 and presumptive LAB on MRS in the kefir were about 108 CFU.ml−1 throughout the storage period. Yeast counts were lower than lactic acid bacteria counts and the average of the counts was approximately 106 log CFU.ml−1. Storage period had a significant effect (P < 0.05) on titratable acidity and pH values. On the contrary, it had no significant effect (P > 0.05) on viscosity and serum separation values of kefir.

Seaweed oligosaccharides have attracted attention in food, agricultural, and medical applications recently. Compared to red and brown seaweeds, fewer studies have focused on the biological activity of green seaweed’s oligosaccharides. This study aimed to produce bioactive ulvan oligosaccharides via enzymatic hydrolysis from green seaweed Ulva lactuca. Ulvan, a water-soluble polysaccharide, was obtained by hot water extraction. Two isolated marine bacteria, Pseudomonas vesicularis MA103 and Aeromonas salmonicida MAEF108, were used to produce multiple hydrolases, such as ulvanolytic enzymes, amylase, cellulase, and xylanase, to degrade the ulvan extract. An ultrafiltration system was used to separate the enzymatic hydrolysate to acquire the ulvan oligosaccharides (UOS). The characteristics of the ulvan extract and the UOS were determined by yield, reducing sugar, uronic acid, sulfate group, and total phenols. The FT-IR spectrum indicated that the ulvan extract and the UOS presented the bands associated with O-H, C=O, C-O, and S=O stretching. Angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition and antioxidant activities in vitro were evaluated in the ulvan extract and the UOS. These results provide a practical approach to producing bioactive UOS by microbial enzymatic hydrolysis that can benefit the development of seaweed-based products at the industrial scale.

Galactomannan, a water-soluble polymer in the cell wall of leguminous plants, has been proven to possess anticancer and antioxidative activity. In this work, galactomannan with different molecular weights (GM-40 and GM-65) was obtained from Sesbania seeds and synthesized into galactomannan–iron(III) complexes, which are termed as GM-40-Fe and GM-65-Fe, respectively. These galactomannan–iron(III) complexes are intended to function as organic iron supplements to treat iron deficiency with the added benefit of antioxidative activity. The prepared galactomannan–iron(III) complexes were characterized for chemical composition, morphology, antioxidant capacity, and bioavailability in vitro. The results showed that galactomannan–iron(III) complexes could be produced with iron contents as high as 65.4 mg/g. Antioxidant assays indicated that both GM-40-Fe and GM-65-Fe exhibited antioxidant activities for scavenging radicals in vitro. The iron release/bioavailability assays showed that the iron was easily released into artificial gastric and intestinal juices, resulting in iron release rates of 88–94% over 300 min. These results suggest that galactomannan–iron(III) complexes synthesized from Sesbania seed polysaccharides are capable of being administered as organic iron supplements to patients with iron deficiency.

Mushrooms have been highly valued as tonic foods and herb remedies since ancient times, and have been increasingly concerned because of their biological and pharmacological activities recognized through recent scientific research. Antitumor, antioxidant and ACE inhibitory activities in vitro of liquid fermentation materials from Ramaria botrytoides, Lyophyllum decastes and Mycoleptodonoides aitchisonii were investigated in this study. Water extracts from fermented mycelia and supernatant materials were used to measure their antitumor effect by MTT assay, antioxidant capacity by kit, and ACE inhibitory activity by RP-HPLC. Results showed that mycelia extracts from Ramaria botrytoides has significantly higher anti-proliferative effect on human HCC cell line SMMC7721 (IC50=0.284±0.005mg/ml, p<0.001). Total antioxidant activity of mycelia extracts of Ramaria botrytoides (0.711±0.053U/mg), inhibitory effect of mycelia extracts of Mycoleptodonoidesaitchisonii on hydroxyl radical (86.153±1.763U/mg) and superoxide anion radical (7.363±0.280 U/g) were higher than others significantly (p<0.001). ACE inhibitory activity of mycelia extracts of Lyophyllum decastes (IC50=1.637±0.057mg/ml) was significantly higher than others (p<0.001). Results demonstrated that liquid fermented mycelium of Ramaria botrytoides was potent source of natural compound with antitumor and antioxidant potential. Mycelium of Lyophyllum decastes was potent source of natural compound with ACE inhibitory activity.

Research background. Research background. The ripening of reduced-fat white cheese is affected by numerous factors. The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of ripening environment (brine or vacuum plastic bags without brine) on the chemical composition, protein, fatty acid profiles and mineral content as well as antioxidant properties of industrially produced reduced-fat white cheese. Experimental approach. A low-fat white cheese was manufactured in an industrial scale from milk that remained after the production of kajmak and ripened for 60 days at 4 °C after packaging in a polystyrene container with brine containing 6 % salt or in vacuum-sealed polyethylene bags. The influence of ripening environment on proteolysis was monitored by the change of soluble nitrogen fractions as well as by SDS-PAGE of Tris-HCl extracts of cheese proteins under non-reducing conditions and water-soluble fractions under reducing conditions. An effect that ripening environment had on fatty acid and mineral content was also monitored. The change of antioxidant potential of investigated cheese during ripening was followed by the change of iron(II) chelating ability, reducing power and free-radical scavenging activity. Results and conclusions. The ripening environment differently affected proteolysis, fatty acid composition, mineral profiles and antioxidant properties of reduced-fat white cheese. White cheese ripened in brine had more intensive proteolytic changes than the cheese ripened in a vacuum, but also more intensive diffusion processes, especially between the 40th and 60th day of ripening. The brine ripened cheese had higher values of water-soluble nitrogen content, but lower contents of trichloroacetic acid-soluble and phosphotungstic acid-soluble nitrogen than a vacuum ripened cheese. Cheese ripened in brine had a lower content of almost all investigated macro- and microelements. After 60 days of ripening, in the cheese ripened in brine only myristic (C14:0) and palmitic acid (C16:0) were detected whereas in a vacuum ripened cheese C10:0-C16:0 fatty acids dominated. Vacuum ripened reduced-fat cheese had more favourable reducing power while white brined reduced-fat cheese had better radical scavenging activity and iron(II) chelating activity. Novelty and scientific contribution. Ripening in a vacuum becomes a useful method for obtaining high-valuable reduced-fat white cheese.
