Antioxidants and antimicrobials are rich in seaweed. Seaweed has been used as food for a long time and the potency to be used as a functional food. One of the most versatile foods is fermented beverages. Fermentation can increase the amount of antioxidants. This study aims to determine seaweed (Gelidium sp. and Eucheuma cottonii) extract fermentation with lactic acid bacteria (LAB), namely Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus acidophilus, as a starter on phenol content and antioxidant activity. The method used was an experimental laboratory. The seaweed was obtained from Yogyakarta. Seaweed extract was given a LAB starter and then fermented for 24 hrs. The samples were analyzed before and after fermentation in parameter reducing sugar, TPC, LAB viability, pH, phenol content, and antioxidant activity IC50 tests. The result showed that both in Gelidium sp. and Eucheuma cottonii, reducing sugar does not change before and after fermentation with the LAB starter. Fermentation could increase the TPC, LAB viability, phenol content, antioxidant activity IC50, and lower the pH sample. Eucheuma cottonii fermented with L. acidophilus gives the best characteristic of antioxidant.

Due to the increasing demand for milk alternatives, related to both health and ethical needs, plant-based yogurt-like products have been widely explored in recent years. With the main goal to obtain snacks similar to the conventional yogurt in terms of textural and sensory properties and ability to host viable lactic acid bacteria for a long-time storage, several plant-derived ingredients (e.g., cereals, pseudocereals, legumes, and fruits) as well as technological solutions (e.g., enzymatic and thermal treatments) have been investigated. The central role of fermentation in yogurt-like production led to specific selections of lactic acid bacteria strains to be used as starters to guarantee optimal textural (e.g., through the synthesis of exo-polysaccharydes), nutritional (high protein digestibility and low content of anti-nutritional compounds), and functional (synthesis of bioactive compounds) features of the products. This review provides an overview of the novel insights on fermented yogurt-like products. The state-of-the-art on the use of unconventional ingredients, traditional and innovative biotechnological processes, and the effects of fermentation on the textural, nutritional, functional, and sensory features, and the shelf life are described. The supplementation of prebiotics and probiotics and the related health effects are also reviewed.

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.

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.

<p>Sweet potato is one type of tubers found in Indonesia. <em>Hybrid</em> of sweet potato flour is obtained from the modification of the processing by fermentation using lactic acid bacteria. The purpose of this study was to determine the nutritional and antioxidant content of various types of <em>hybrid</em> sweet potato flour. This research is an experimental laboratory with a true-experiment design. The experiment was arranged in a complete randomized block design (RCB) with three replications. The treatments are 6 types of sweet potatoes which include purple sweet potato Var.Antin 1, purple sweet potato val.local, white sweet potato, orange sweet potato, Japanese purple sweet potato Var.Ayamurasaki and cilembu sweet potato. The study included the fermentation process using lactic acid bacteria (Acetobacter xylinum) addition concentration of 5%, siege, analysis of nutrient content (water, ash, protein, fat, fiber and carbohydrates) and antioxidant activity of various types of <em>hybrid</em> sweet potato flour. The results showed that various types of <em>hybrid</em> sweet potato flour significantly affect the nutritional content which includes water content, ash content, fat content, protein content, fiber content and total carbohydrate. The result of antioxidant activity in various types of <em>hybrid</em> sweet potato flour after fermentation treatment in a concentration of 5% Acetobacter xylinum ranged from 29,383-53.7929%. The lowest value obtained at cilembu <em>hybrid</em> sweet potato flour and the highest value was obtained from the Japanese <em>hybrid</em> sweet potato flour var.Ayamurasaki.</p>

Lactic acid fermented vegetables are important sources of vitamins and minerals. In recent years consumers demand for non-dairy based functional products has increased. Cabbage pickle has high enough concentrations of fiber and also it may show health effect with the containing high numbers of lactic acid bacteria. The aim of this study is to optimize mathematically cabbage-carrot pickle fermentation for the viability of Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei cultures and the sensory scores in brine with 5% and 7% (w/v) salt concentrations. Viability optimization of lactic acid bacteria is done via the notion of “fuzzy soft set” method. Lb. casei, Lb. acidophilus, total lactic acid bacteria, Enterobacteriaceae sp., yeast-mould counts and pH values have been reported during the 30 days of storage. The results are compared with the control traditional fermented cabbage-carrot pickle. Organoleptic properties are evaluated. We conclude that the fermented pickle samples contain a significant number of beneficial lactic acid bacteria and high sensory marks at the end of the storage.
