O leite de cabra é recomendado para pessoas intolerantes ao leite de vaca e/ou portadoras de desordens gastrintestinais. frozen yogurt elaborado a partir de iogurte de leite de cabra foi acrescido de 1% de prebiótico (inulina), 0,25% de cultura starter (Streptococcus thermophilus e Lactobacillus bulgaricus) e 0,25% de cultura probiótica (Bifidobacterium animalis e Lactobacillus acidophilus) para verificar seu potencial probiótico (após sete e 120 dias de armazenamento), sua qualidade físico-química e sua aceitação sensorial. Durante a estocagem, houve redução de células viáveis da flora microbiana, principalmente dos probióticos. Ainda assim, o produto apresenta potencialidade probiótica pela soma de B. animalis e L. acidophilus atingir o mínimo desejável até o fim do armazenamento. Os valores de extrato seco total (26,6±0,2%), proteína (3,0±0,2), gordura (2,6±0,1%), pH (5,5±0,01) e ácido láctico (0,2±0,01%) encontram-se semelhantes aos relatados em outros trabalhos para o mesmo produto. A avaliação sensorial foi realizada por 50 provadores não treinados em teste com escala hedônica de sete níveis e intenção de compra. O produto recebeu bons escores para aparência global, cor, aroma e sabor; já textura e sabor residual obtiveram menores índices de aceitação. Na intenção de compra, 61% dos avaliadores declararam que comprariam o produto, contra 39% que não comprariam. Nessas condições, demonstra-se a viabilidade de elaboração de frozen yogurt de leite caprino acrescido de pre- e probióticos.

        The aims of this study to evaluate the antibacterial potential of standard strains (Lactobacillus acidophilus ROO52 and Lactobacillus bulgaricus LB-12) that produce bacteriocins against E.coli O157:H7 in raw milk.  Thirty raw milk samples randomly were collected weekly different markets of Baghdad city in order to investigate the prevalence of E.coli O157:H7 in milk. The prevalence of  E.coli O157:H7 in raw milk samples was  6 out 30 (20%) by using the modern chromogenic media with serological latex agglutination test kit. The average diameter of the inhibition zone of crude bacteriocin against  E .coli O157:H7 by using combination of 1:1 (v/v) of the Lactobacillus acidophillus ROO52 and  Lactobacillus bulgaricus LB-12was (14mm) ,while that produced by bacteriocins of Lactobacillus acidophillus ROO52 and  Lactobacillus bulgaricus LB-12  independently were 16 and 12mm respectively .L. delbrucekii ssp bulgaricus showed significantly (P<0.05) low antimicrobial effect against E.coli O157 :H7 .While the strongest antimicrobial effect was shown by Lactobacillus acidophilus ROO52. The bacteriocins of the reference strains used in this study did not result in an increase in inhibition when used in combination of 1:1 (v/v).

Male Swiss mice, implanted with Ehrlich ascites tumor cells, were fed each of the following test materials: fresh bovine colostrum, colostrum cultured with Lactobacillus acidophilus, colostrum cultured with Lactobacillus bulgaricus, colostrum cultured with L. bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus, milk cultured with L. acidophilus and milk cultured with L. bulgaricus. Fresh colostrum had no significant effect when fed ad libitum for 7 consecutive days after tumor implantation. Colostrum fermented with L. acidophilus, L. bulgaricus or yogurt culture significantly (P&lt; 0.05) inhibited tumor cell proliferation as indicated by a 16 to 40% decrease in cell counts and a 13 to 35% decrease in DNA synthesis. Similar effects were noted for whole milk fermented with either L. acidophilus or L. bulgaricus.

SummaryCell-free extracts of both Lactobacillus bulgaricus and L. acidophilus demonstrated threonine aldolase activity, the end product of which was acetaldehyde, the major flavour compound of yoghurt. L. acidophilus also possessed an alcohol dehydrogenase activity capable of reducing acetaldehyde so that little yoghurt flavour was present in milks fermentation with this organism. Addition of threonine to fortified milk before fermentation with L. acidophilus increased acetaldehyde production and resulted in a well flavoured product similar to that of yoghurt made with L. bulgaricus. The contribution of these 2 enzymes to flavour production is discussed.

Effect of Lithium Chloride (LiCl) and Sodium Propionate (CH3CH2COONa) on growth of Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium bifidum, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Lactobacillus casei and Lactobacillus rhamnosus was studied by measuring optical density at 600nm (OD600) and pH using MRS media as the control. The addition of each substance (%, w/v) was 0.025%, 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.2% and 0.3%. Results were as follows: addition of LiCl has the significant inhibition on growth of Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium bifidum and Lactobacillus bulgaricus at incubation 12h. The optimum selective concentration of LiCl in MRS media was 0.1% both for Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus. Lactobacillus rhamnosus can tolerate the substances mentioned above. Sodium Propionate has no effect for any of five strains.
