Lactic acid bacteria have been isolated from several Indonesian indigenous fermented foods and screened for the potential strains as probiotic candidates. The aim of this study was to evaluate sensory properties and respondents’ preference of yogurt-like set and yogurt-like drink with various Indonesian indigenous probiotic strains produced by dairy industry. Indigenous probiotics of Lactobacillus plantarum MUT-7 and Lactobacillus plantarum DAD-13 were used to produce yogurt-like set and yogurt-like drink. Family perception toward yogurt-like drink was performed in Yogyakarta involving 100 family members. The yogurt-like products were also compared to yogurt containing commercial Lactobacilus bulgaricus and Streptococus thermophilus or commercial yogurt produced by dairy company. Several sensory evaluation toward sensory properties and panelist’s preference were performed in different cities.  The result showed that the indigenous probiotic L. plantarum DAD-13 and L. plantarum MUT-7 were potential to be used as a starter culture for the production of yogurt-like set and yogurt-like drink. The combination of indigenous probiotics and indigenous lactic acid bacteria S. thermophilus DAD-11 resulted in better sensory properties of yogurt set compared to combination of L. bulgaricus and S. thermophilus.

Abstract. The production of bacteriocins by lactic acid bacteria affords them the ability to inhibit the growth of bacteria; they are particularly important in the biocontrol of human and plant pathogens. Lactic acid bacteria have been frequently isolated from fermented foods due to the high acidity these foods contain. In this study, lactic acid bacteria were isolated from garri, a popular Nigerian staple food, which is fermented from cassava, and their antagonistic activity against clinical and environmental isolates of Escherichia coli was determined. The species of Lactobacillus isolated include: Lactobacillus plantarum (50%), Lactobacillus fermentum (20%), Lactobacillus acidophilus (20%), and Lactobacillus salivarius (10%). Growth inhibition of the strains of E.coli was observed in Lactobacillus plantarum that inhibited the growth of both. The clinical and environmental isolates of E. coli were inhibited by Lactobacillus plantarum, while Lactobacillus acidophilus showed activity against only the clinical isolate. The greatest zone of inhibition against the strains of E. coli was recorded by Lactobacillus acidophilus (22.7±1.53 mm). The bacteriocins produced by Lactobacillus species have a good potential in the biocontrol of pathogens, and should be the focus of further studies on antibiotic resistant bacteria.

The high nutritional value of whey makes it an interesting substrate for the development of fermented foods. The aim of this work was to evaluate the growth and proteolytic activity of sixty-four strains of lactic acid bacteria in whey to further formulate a starter culture for the development of fermented whey-based beverages. Fermentations were performed at 37°C for 24 h in 10 and 16% (w/v) reconstituted whey powder. Cultivable populations, pH, and proteolytic activity (o-phthaldialdehyde test) were determined at 6 and 24 h incubation. Hydrolysis of whey proteins was analysed by Tricine SDS-PAGE. A principal component analysis (PCA) was applied to evaluate the behaviour of strains. Forty-six percent of the strains grew between 1 and 2 Δlog CFU/ml while 19% grew less than 0·9 Δlog CFU/ml in both reconstituted whey solutions. Regarding the proteolytic activity, most of the lactobacilli released amino acids and small peptides during the first 6 h incubation while streptococci consumed the amino acids initially present in whey to sustain growth. Whey proteins were degraded by the studied strains although to different extents. Special attention was paid to the main allergenic whey protein, β-lactoglobulin, which was degraded the most byLactobacillus acidophilusCRL 636 andLb. delbrueckiisubsp.bulgaricusCRL 656. The strain variability observed and the PCA applied in this study allowed selecting appropriate strains able to improve the nutritional characteristics (through amino group release and protein degradation) and storage (decrease in pH) of whey.

The effects of different strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) inoculation on the fermentation rates and qualities of moo som, a traditional Thai fermented pork, were evaluated. Lactobacillus plantarum KL102 (spontaneous starter) and L. plantarum TISIR543 (commercial starter) were used as starter cultures in the production of moo som. The decreased amounts of Staphylococcus aureus and coliforms in moo som inoculated with L. plantarum KL102 were at faster rates than those in Moo som inoculated with L. plantarum TISIR543. However, the final products of moo som inoculated with both LAB starters did not find S. aureus or and coliform loadings. Inoculation of both LAB starters could control growth of yeast in samples during fermentation. Furthermore, both starter cultures exhibited a higher rate of fermentation than the control (without inoculum), as demonstrated by the faster rate pH drop and acid production (p < 0.05) during fermentation, while the fermentation of all samples were completed within 3 d. Due to higher acid production rate, texture, and especially hardness, gumminess and chewiness of inoculated moo som were higher than control moo som in the final products (p < 0.05). From the results, the inoculation of LAB starter was more beneficial in color and in overall sensory evaluation (p < 0.05). The overall quality was positively correlated with the color, odor, and texture of moo som (p < 0.01). Based on microbiological and physicochemical qualities and sensory evaluation, KL102 is a potential LAB starter for moo som production.

Tyramine is a health-adverse biogenic amine, which can accumulate in fermented foods like cheese by decarboxylation of the free amino acid tyrosine by either starter cultures or resident microbes such as lactic acid bacteria including Enterococcus spp., respectively. Our study aimed to show the effect of sodium chloride concentrations on tyramine production as well as to characterise bacterial strains as anti-tyramine biocontrol agents in a 2 mL micro-cheese fermentation model. The effect of sodium chloride on tyramine production was assayed with tyramine producing strains from eight different species or subspecies. Generally, an increase in sodium chloride concentration enhanced tyramine production, e.g. from 0% to 1.5% of sodium chloride resulted in an increase of tyramine of 870% with a Staphylococcus xylosus strain. In the biocontrol screening among lactic acid bacteria, a Lactobacillus plantarum JA-1199 strain was screened that could consume in successful competition with other resident bacteria tyrosine in the micro-cheese model as a source of energy gain. Thereby tyramine accumulation was reduced between 4% to 99%. The results of this study disclose a feasible strategy for decreasing tyramine concentration and increasing the safety level of fermented food. It is an example of development and application of bacterial isolates as starter or protective cultures in food, a biocontrol topic, which Oreste Ghisalba – in his project evaluation function of SNF and later on CTI – was promoting with great emphasis in our ETH Food Biotechnology research group.

Gfp Gene

Lactobacillus plantarum N014 is a bacteriocin-producing lactic acid bacteria originally isolated from nham, a traditional Thai fermented sausage, and in the process of development to be used as a starter culture for nham fermentation. During the fermentation process, there is a need to identify the starter culture among several naturally occurring bacteria. In this study, a new plasmid carrying the gfp (green fluorescent protein) gene was constructed based on pGKV210, an Escherichia coli/Lactococcus shuttle vector containing an erythromycin resistance marker. The gfp gene derived from pGFPuv was placed under the control of an L-lactate dehydrogenase promoter and then inserted at the EcoRI site of pGKV210, leading to pN014-GFP. The novel plasmid was used to transform L. plantarum N014, which is a bacteriocin-producing lactic acid bacteria isolated from nham. The resulting transformant, L. plantarum N014-GFP+, was brightly fluorescent and harbored the expected plasmid. A plasmid stability test revealed that pN014-GFP was stable after 100 generations of growth under nonselective pressure. L. plantarum N014-GFP+ and its parent strain were shown to be very similar in growth rate, bacteriocin production, and lactate production. L. plantarum N014-GFP+ was able to survive in a nham model. The survival clones were still fluorescent and harbored pN014-GFP.

Fermentation was used since ancient times as an easy method of food preservation, which also maintains and/or improves the nutritional and sensory properties of food. A research as aimed at identifying strain of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from fermented caridean-shrimp, which properties suitable for starter cultures in food fermentation. A total of 18 LAB stains were obtained from ten different samples, in each sample consisted of commercial LAB strain that isolated from ten samples of caridean-shrimp. The LAB strains from ten samples were screened for resistance to biological barriers (acid and bile salts), and the three most promising strains were selected. The three bacteria strains were isolated from samples of caridean[1]shrimp and were characterized by the API 50 CHL system of identification. Three lactic acid bacteria species were identified and included Lactobacillus plantarum, and Lactobacillus acidophilus. Strain Y’11b,2, Y’11e,2, Y’85,1, which showed probiotic characteristics reducing cell growth of cancer, could be suitable as a starter culture for food fermentation because of its strong acid production and high acid tolerance. This is the first report to describe bacteria, isolated from caridean[1]shrimp, Lactobacillus Plantarum (Y’11b,2, Y’11e,2) and Lactobacillus acidophilus (Y’85,1) which have the probiotic characteristics and the acid tolerance needed for its use as a starter culture in food fermentation.

Phenotypic Characteristics

Fermented foods are consumed by a very large population in Africa but the products have many drawbacks ranging from shelf life instability to contamination and toxicity. These foods therefore require an upgrade through improved fermentation processes. This work determined the phenotypic characteristics of the fermenting microorganisms and microbial ecological succession during fermentation of cassava and maize to determine the predominant fermenting microorganisms. Cassava roots and maize grains were fermented using the traditional method of processing them into fufu and ogi for 72 h and 48 h respectively. Samples were drawn every 12 h for analysis. Enumeration and characterization of lactic acid bacteria were carried out on MRS medium with subsequent microscopic examination, physiological, biochemical reaction tests and API 50 CH gallery. Yeast isolates were identified by their morphological characteristics. Thirteen lactic acid bacteria were isolated from the fermenting cassava and 6 from the fermenting maize. The Isolates were Gram positive and catalase negative. Lactobacillus plantarum, L. fermentum and L. pentusus predominated in both fermentations while Candida tropicalis, C. krusei and Saccharomyces cerevisae also predominated in both fermentations. Candida inconspicuo was found only in cassava fermentation. The results of this work revealed the microbial ecology of fermented cassava and maize which is a prerequisite to the understanding needed to develop a multifunctional starter culture for these fermentations for their upgrade.

The Algerian couscous, "Hamoum”, is prepared from fermented wheat which is the result of wheat grains being stored in an artisanal underground grana-ry called "Matmora" for more than one year. This method of storage has been abandoned in favor of conventional modes without being well studied and known. However, it is used on family scale farms. The purpose of this study was to explore the biodiversity of microbial flora of fermented wheat due to this type of storage. A total of 39 isolates were evaluated in terms to identify lactic acid bacteria and screening the probiotic properties. The phe-notypic results showed a diversity of lactic flora and lactic acid bacteria iso-lated from fermented wheat mainly belonging to Lactobacillus (69%) fol-lowed by Pediococcus (15%), Leuconostoc (8%) and Enterococcus (8%). The genotypic characterization revealed the dominance of Lactobacillus plantarum. The identified strains Lactobacillus plantarum (M6), Lactobacillus plantarum (R27), Lactobacillus brevis (BL8) and Pediococcus acidilactici (M5) have a high antibacterial activity and all strains have resistance to low acidic pH and bile salts. This investigation has enabled a screening of lactic acid bacteria from traditionally fermented wheat. “Hamoum” is a substrate rich in lactic acid bacteria that has exceptional probiotic potential. It’s may be the starting point for further characterization of biotechnological properties in order to identify and select probiotic strains for therapeutic purposes.

This study aims to determine the yoghurt production potential of lactic acid bacteria isolated from legumes seeds (lentils, beans, cowpea, and broad beans) and examine the effects of alginate capsules of selected starter cultures with high yoghurt production potential on the physicochemical properties, sensory properties of yoghurt, and bacterial viability during storage time at 4°C. The exopolysaccharide (EPS), proteolytic activity, and acidification properties of eight different isolates were determined, and sixteen different yoghurt combinations prepared. The samples showed similar physicochemical (pH, titratable acidity, dry matter, and whey separation), bacterial count, and sensory results in comparison with the commercial yoghurt used as a control sample. The acidity and pH of the yoghurt samples were significantly affected by the storage time. Total solids of yoghurt samples generally tend to decrease and syneresis of yoghurt samples also differed for each starter culture combination during the storage time. The total count of lactic acid bacteria during the storage time was higher than 107 CFU/g. The sensory analysis results of bacterial combinations are significantly different ( p < 0.05 ). Results indicated that isolated starter cultures have potential as commercial starters to improve the quality of yoghurt. Selected starter cultures with yoghurt production potential were encapsulated. Lactic acid bacteria with encapsulation efficiency of 86,3 ± 0,2 and 82,26 ± 0,79 were selected for yoghurt production. The physicochemical properties of the yoghurt with free and encapsulated starter culture were significantly different during the storage time. The reduction (∼0,5 log cfu/g) in the numbers of free and encapsulated starter cultures is over during the storage time ( p < 0.05 ). The acceptability of yoghurt containing encapsulated bacteria was lower than the yoghurt containing free bacteria by the panelists. Consequently, it was determined that alginate capsules increased bacterial viability, but the sensory properties of yoghurt were affected adversely. The LAB isolated form legumes can be introduced to the national microbial collection.
