Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate the microbiological (number of viable lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria), physicochemical (dry matter, protein and fat contents, titratable acidity, and pH), and sensory characteristics (appearance of coagulum, taste and aroma, structure at cutting, color, and consistency at shattering) of probiotic Bulgarian yoghurts obtained by ultrafiltration of goat’s milk. These yoghurts were obtained using volume reduction ratios of 2 and 3 with the probiotic starters MZ2f, MZ2f + Bifidobacterium bifidum BB – 87, and MZ2f + Lactobacillus acidophilus LAB – 8. The increase in the level of the concentration by ultrafiltration led to an increase in the dry matter, protein and fat contents of the yoghurts, in the number of lactic acid bacteria and titratable acidity, and to a decrease in the pH. The twofold concentration by ultrafiltration resulted in a higher number of lactic acid bacteria in comparison with yoghurts made without ultrafiltration, and with better sensory characteristics compared to yoghurts without and with threefold ultrafiltration. The higher number of viable cells and better sensory characteristics were obtained for yoghurts with MZ2f + Bifidobacterium bifidum BB – 87 and MZ2f + Lactobacillus acidophilus LAB – 8 in comparison with MZ2f alone.

Five lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains belonging to species Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus helveticus, Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus, Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. lactis and Streptococcus thermophilus were tested for their susceptibility to 27 antibiotics. The minimum inhibitory concentrations of each antimicrobial were determined using a microdilution test. Among the strains a high susceptibility was detected for most of the cell-wall synthesis inhibitors (penicillins, cefoxitin and vancomycin) and resistance toward inhibitors of DNA synthesis (trimethoprim/sulfonamides and fluoroquinolones). Generally, the Lactobacillus strains were inhibited by antibiotics such as chloramphenicol, erythromycin and tetracycline at breakpoint levels lower or equal to the levels defined by the European Food Safety Authority. Despite the very similar profile of S. thermophilus LC201 to lactobacilli, the detection of resistance toward erythromycin necessitates the performance of additional tests in order to prove the absence of transferable resistance genes.

In this research, shrimp waste was fermented with 3 species of symbiotic lactic acid bacteria, namely Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus. The ingredient changes occurring in the fermentation process were investigated. Results showed that the production of lactic acid in the fermentation process was remarkably improved, with the pH decreasing rapidly to 4.25 within 8 h, the lowest pH reaching 3.22, and the titratable acidity reaching 25.0 mmol/100ml. The improved acidic environment promoted the removal of calcium and protein, with 91.3% calcium, 97.7% protein and 32.3% carotenoid removed from shrimp waste after 168 h fermentation. The putrefaction was effectively prevented and the TVBN level was low throughout the whole process. Glucose was consumed rapidly in the earlier phase of the fermentation; about 69.4% glucose was consumed in the initial 24 h. The consumption of glucose was in well accordance with the growth of lactic acid bacteria, the removal of calcium and the increasing of titratable acidity. The amino nitrogen content kept increasing within 48 h, thereafter it came to decrease. 88.4% of peptides in the hydrolysate ranged between 1000 ~ 10000 Da, 10.2% smaller than 1000 Da, and 3.44% larger than 10000 Da.

The fermentative nature of five lactic acid bacteria was studied by using saccharified kidney beans. The production of lactic acid of lactobacillus acidophilus (La) was the one with highest yield and quickest production rate. The optimal mixes cultures was Lactobacillus acidophilus (La) , Lactobacillus plantarum(Lp)and Bifidobacterium bifidum (Bb). The optimum proportion of species was La:Lp:Bb= 2: 1: 1. Soybean milk can promote the growth of the lactic acid bacteria.

CHARACTERISTICS OF ICE CREAM USING STARTER OF PROBIOTIC BACTERIA Streptococus thermophilus and Lactobacillus acidophilus. This study aimed to determine the effect of the use of probiotic bacteria, namely Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus acidophilus as a starter on the characteristics ice cream. This experiment was arranged in Completely Randomized Design, with four treatments and five replications. Such treatmentis the different levels of starter A1=0%, A2=3%, A3=6%, and A4=9%. Data were analized by variance analysis. The results of experiment showed that the total of lactic acid bacteria ranged from 1.49  to 7.08 (log cfu/ml), the pH ranged from 5.24 to 5.67, while overrun ranged from 25.62 to 31.47%. The Results of analysis showed that the starter level of 0%, 3%, 6% and 9% gave a highly significant effect (P <0.01) on  total of lactic acid bacteria, pH, and overrun. The counclution of this research  was ice cream using a starter streptococcus thermophilus and  Lactobacillus acidophilus at the level of  9% is the best ice cream on physical , and microbiological test. Key word: Probiotic bacteria, ice cream,  starter, total of lactic acid bateria, pH, overrun.

In the present study, the antibacterial effect of 20 lactic acid bacteria isolates from a traditional cheese was investigated. 6 isolates showed antibacterial effect against Gram positive bacteria.Streptococcus thermophilusT2 strain showed the wide inhibitory spectrum against the Gram positive bacteria. Growth and bacteriocin production profiles showed that the maximal bacteriocin production, byS. thermophilusT2 cells, was measured by the end of the late-log phase (90 AUml−1) with a bacteriocine production rate of 9.3 (AUml−1)h−1. In addition, our findings showed that the bacteriocin, produced byS. thermophilusT2, was stable over a wide pH range (4–8); this indicates that such bacteriocin may be useful in acidic as well as nonacidic food. This preliminarily work shows the potential application of autochthonous lactic acid bacteria to improve safety of traditional fermented food.

Twenty-three strains of lactic acid bacteria were tested by deferred antagonism methods for bacteriocin-like activity against types A and B spores from 11 proteolytic and nonproteolytic Clostridium botulinum strains. Pediococcus pentosaceus ATCC 43200, Pediococcus pentosaceus ATCC 43201, Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis ATCC 11454, Lactobacillus acidophilus N2, Lactobacillus plantarum Lb75, Lactobacillus plantarum Lb592, and Lactobacillus plantarum BN exhibited bacteriocin-like inhibition of all C. botulinum strains tested. By excluding inhibition due to hydrogen peroxide, acid, and lytic phage and confirming their proteinaceous nature, the inhibitors were confirmed as bacteriocins. The minimum inhibitory cell concentrations (MICC) required to produce 1 mm radius inhibition zones were determined by direct antagonism testing. Only strains 43200, 43201, 11454, and N2 were inhibitory when cultured simultaneously with the botulinal spores. The MICCs of strains antagonistic to C. botulinum spores by simultaneous testing ranged between 1.6 × 105and 4.7 × 107CFU/ml. Based on the MICCs, P. pentosaceus 43200 was most inhibitory to C. botulinum.

Aim. Study of the effect of exopolysaccharides (EPS) of lactic acid cocci on cytokine activity of macrophages of mice with phagocytosis in vitro Staphylococcus aureus 209-P. Materials and methods. The EPS of Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactococcus lactis B-1662 was used in the work. At 13, 5 and 7, AMP and PMP were isolated and the phagocytosis process was modeled in vitro. After 30 minutes, 1, 6 and 24 hours, the content of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1a and TNF-a was determined. Results. EPSs had an ambiguous effect on the production of cytokines. The greatest effect on the synthesis was provided by EPS of S. thermophilus. Conclusion. The results of the study allow us to talk about the possibility of using EPS of S. thermophilus as a preventive immunomodulator for correction of the cytokine status of animals.
