The metabolic capacity of probiotic mixed cultures formed by Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium strains was assessed through the determination of the acidification profile and the production of amino acids and volatile compounds, during the fermentation of ultra-pasteurized skim milk. Two mixed cultures formed by [L. acidophilus + B. bifidum] and [L. acidophilus + B. animalis] stood out in the production of essential amino acids: His, Ile, Leu, Met, Thr, Trp and Val. As well as increased production of volatile compounds such as: acetoin, 2-heptanone, 2-nonanone, acetic acid, acid butanoic and hexanoic acid, in contrast to commercial fermented dairy products. Additionally, these bacterial mixed cultures were characterized by the production of distinctive volatile compounds: 1-heptanol, diisobutylcarninol, hemellitol, 1-dodecanol, acetone, 2-pentanone, 2-undecanone, ethyl acetate, benzaldehyde as well as valeric, acetyl valeric and isopropylpyruvic acids. Finally, the culture formed by [L. acidophilus + B. bifidum] presented a good acidification profile with a lactic acid production of 26.1 ± 0.1 g / L and pH 3.6 at the end of fermentation. This data suggests a great potential of these mixed cultures to improve the nutritional value and organoleptic characteristics of fermented dairy products, when added as starter or adjunct cultures in the fermentation process.

Abstract. Branched chain amino acids (BCAA), with vitamin B6 have been reported to improve fat metabolism and muscle synthesis. We hypothesized that supplementation with BCAA and vitamin B6 would result in more weight loss and improve body composition and blood markers related to cardiovascular diseases. Our aim was to determine whether the mentioned supplementation would affect weight loss, body composition, and cardiovascular risk factors during weight loss intervention. To this end, we performed a placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial in 42 overweight and obese women (BMI = 25–34.9 kg/m2). Taking a four-week moderate deficit calorie diet (–500 kcal/day), participants were randomized to receive BCAA (6 g/day) with vitamin B6 (40 mg/day) or placebo. Body composition variables measured with the use of bioelectrical impedance analysis, homeostatic model assessment, and plasma insulin, Low density lipoprotein, High density lipoprotein, Total Cholesterol, Triglyceride, and fasting blood sugar were measured. The result indicated that, weight loss was not significantly affected by BCAA and vitamin B6 supplementation (–2.43 ± 1.02 kg) or placebo (–1.64 ± 1.48 kg). However, significant time × treatment interactions in waist to hip ratio (P = 0.005), left leg lean (P = 0.004) and right leg lean (P = 0.023) were observed. Overall, supplementation with BCAA and vitamin B6 could preserve legs lean and also attenuated waist to hip ratio.

The Relationship

Branched chain amino acids are the essential nutrients for humans and many animals. As functional amino acids, they play important roles in physiological functions, including immune functions. Isoleucine, as one of the branched chain amino acids, is also critical in physiological functions of the whole body, such as growth, immunity, protein metabolism, fatty acid metabolism and glucose transportation. Isoleucine can improve the immune system, including immune organs, cells and reactive substances. Recent studies have also shown that isoleucine may induce the expression of host defense peptides (i.e., β-defensins) that can regulate host innate and adaptive immunity. In addition, isoleucine administration can restore the effect of some pathogens on the health of humans and animals via increasing the expression of β-defensins. Therefore, the present review will emphatically discuss the effect of isoleucine on immunity while summarizing the relationship between branched chain amino acids and immune functions.
