Significant Difference

Yoghurt remains a fermented milk of choice globally but its desirability is limited by quality attributes and syneresis. In this study, the effect of using exopolysaccharide (EPS) producing starter cultures and EPS on the quality attribute of yoghurt produced from cow milk was examined. Two starter cultures of EPS-producing LAB were used singly and in combination in three treatments portions (YEPSLa, Lactobacillus acidophilus yoghurt; YEPSLs, Leuconostoc suionicum; YEPSLa + YEPSLs, Lactobacillus acidophilus and Leuconostoc suionicum); Yxg, Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. Bulgaricus to produced yoghurt while reference yoghurt (RY) was obtained from the market and refrigerated stored at 4oC. Sensory, proximate composition, textural, rheological properties and whey separation were carried out after 1 and 28 days only, while physicochemical and microbiological were analyzed after 1, 7, 14 and 28 days. No significant difference (p ˂0.05) between RY (8.60 ± 0.60), (7.21±0.10) and YEPSLa + YEPSLs (8.54 ± 0.71), (7.25 ± 0.21) in overall acceptability for day 1 and 28. Moisture (82.45 ± 0.12 - 81.31 ± 0.06%), fat (3.46 ± 0.01 - 3.42 ± 0.03%) and carbohydrate (13.05 ± 0.11 to 12.51 ± 0.10%) contents decreased while total solids (17.57 ± 0.12 - 17.97 ± 0.12%), ash (0.56 ± 0.02 - 0.57 ± 0.02%) and protein (3.74 ± 0.01 - 4.30%) contents increased respectively across the yoghurts. The result showed that the highest cohesiveness and syneresis was observed in YEPSLa + YEPSLs (27.52 ± 0.63) and commercial yoghurt (29.10 ± 0.31), the lowest in Yxg (16.71 ± 0.21) and YEPSLa + YEPSLs (21.50 ± 0.51). The highest viscosity was observed in YEPSLa + YEPSLs across the rotation speeds.  The pH and titratable acid ranged (4.28 – 4.50; 0.90 – 1.41) while the total bacteria colony count (5.5×108 – 11.0×108cfu/ml) during 28 days storage period. Overall, EPS produced by EPS-producing LAB both In-vitro and In-vivo improve texture, mouthfeel, viscosity and reduce syneresis in yoghurt. Combine cultures of Lactobacillus acidophilus and Leuconostoc suionicum and their EPSs competed favourably with conventional starter, and other stabilizing agents in cow milk yoghurt.

Ten starter cultures of lactic acid bacteria were used to ferment five mixtures of milk and pea protein (0%, 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% of pea) to select the cocktail that can lead to products similar to traditional yogurt. Product quality evaluation was performed by comparing the sensory profile of 49 formulated products with the profile of a milk fermented by commercial lactic ferments. The sensory profiles were analyzed by means of three-way ANOVAs and a principal component analysis (PCA). Substitution of cow milk protein with 40% of pea proteins reduce starter cultures effects and decrease product quality. In contrast, until 30% of pea protein, starter cultures show positive and negative effects. For example, products fermented by Streptococcus thermophilus + Lactobacillus acidophilus with 30% pea protein have positive characters like creamy and smooth, but Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. Bulgaricus + Lactobacillus rhamnosus caused bad quality and negative characters like bitter and astringent even with 100% cow milk.

AbstractNovel functional food products might be an easy accessible and eligible approach to help reduce the risk of severe viral infections including SARS-CoV-2. Hence a product containing probiotics, propolis and cinnamon was developed and interferences of the ingredients were characterized. Yogurts were prepared using starter cultures with propolis (0.03%) and cinnamon in various concentrations (0.3%, 1%, and 2.5%). Bifidobacterium animalis ssp. lactis, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Streptococcus thermophilus, and Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus were used as microorganisms for yogurt production. Chemical analysis revealed a decline of fat matter in the presence of propolis and/or cinnamon. Propolis had statistically significant suppressive effects on Bifidobacterium animalis ssp. lactis as well as on Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus numbers (p < 0.05). These effects were diminished in the presence of increasing cinnamon concentrations. For Lactobacillus acidophilus a statistically significant reducing effect on the number of colonies was observed in all products investigated. Nevertheless all samples met the standard of recommended level of ≥ 106 viable cells/g of a product. Propolis showed an inverse effect on Streptococcus thermophilus by increasing its colony numbers in yogurts. The probiotic yogurt samples containing propolis (0.03%) and cinnamon (2.5%) gained the highest number of points in the sensory evaluation compared to control.

Galectin 3

During a specific milk fermentation process with Bifidobacterium breve C50 and Streptococcus thermophilus 065 (LactofidusTM), postbiotics with possible immunomodulatory properties are produced. We investigated the effects of this fermentation product (FP) in vitro using a model that allows crosstalk between intestinal epithelial (IEC) and immune cells. IECs were exposed to FP and αCD3/CD28-activated peripheral blood mononuclear cells after which the mediator secretion was measured. Additionally, using a murine influenza vaccination model, immune development was assessed. Mice were fed an AIN93G diet containing FP or lactose as control. Vaccine-specific immunity was measured as delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) and correlated to intestinal and systemic immunomodulation levels. In vitro, exposure to FP enhanced IFNγ, TNFα and IL-17A concentrations. Moreover, IEC-derived galectin-3/galectin-9 and galectin-4/galectin-9 ratios were increased. In vivo, dietary intervention with FP increased vaccine-specific DTH responses as compared to the lactose-receiving group. Although no effects on humoral immunity and vaccine-specific T-cell responses were detected, an enhanced systemic serum galectin-3/galectin-9 and galectin-4/galectin-9 ratio correlated with a shift in RORγ (Th17) mRNA expression over regulatory TGFβ1 in the ileum. This was also positively correlated with the increased DTH response. These results indicate that FP can enhance epithelial galectin-3 and -4 over galectin-9 release, and boost adaptive immunity by promoting Th1- and Th17-type cytokines under inflammatory conditions in vitro. Similar variations in galectin and immune balance were observed in the vaccination model, where FP improved the influenza-specific DTH response.

Abstract.  For a very long time, probiotics have been selected on the basis of their suitability to food’s environment and technological procedures, as well as survival ability in vitro and also in vivo. These criteria are still used. The aim of this study was to select, using the Plakett-Burman design of experiments model, of three significant factors, which influence the multiplication ability and viability of probiotic strains Lactobacillus acidophilus (commercial code LA-5®) and Lactobacillus casei subsp. paracasei (commercial code L. casei 431®) in fermented mesophilic milk product (commercial named Sana) obtained by fermentation with a multiple culture with mesophilic lactic starter Flora Danica Chr. Hansen commercial starters (Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris, Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis, Lactococcus lactis subsp. diacetylactis and Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. cremoris). By statistical analysis the most important factors (independent variables)  with influence on the probiotic bacteria were selected for the optimized. These are the temperature of fermentation; the ratio between probiotic strains and Flora Danica and the addition of prebiotic Fagopyrum esculentum flour. In the future experiments the optimum values of these parameters will be optimized by using response surface methodology, in order to establish the conditions in which can be obtain the mesophilic fermented milk products with probiotic action in vivo.

Potential Health

Fermentation of cowpea milk was carried out using three mixed starter cultures containing (i) Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium spp, and Streptococcus thermophilus (ABT) (ii) Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus (DT) or (iii) Lactobacillus rhamnosus GR-1 and Streptococcus thermophilus (GT). Proximate composition of raw and fermented cowpea milk was determined using the AOAC methods. Lactic acid bacteria survival and sensory attributes of the fermented cowpea milk was also determined. Crude fat decreased significantly (P<0.05) after fermentation except for GT culture which led to 33.2% increase. Crude fiber was not detected in all the samples. Fermentation with GT also led to increase in protein content, although this was not significant. A decrease was observed for carbohydrate content, after fermentation, with DT culture leading to the highest decrease of 7.1%. There was a general increase in microbial growth during the first two weeks of storage (refrigeration at 4˚C). Thereafter the number reduced to Log10 4.11 cfu/ml on the 28th day of storage. No significant differences were observed for sensory attributes of taste, texture and overall acceptability. However, aroma and appearance had significant differences among the samples (P<0.05). The study demonstrated that nutritional quality of cowpea milk can be achieved through fermentation. Also, cowpea milk fermented with lactic acid bacteria produce a yoghurt-like product that can be sweetened to taste and be acceptable to consumers. The study therefore recommends that more work should be done to improve the sensory acceptability of the products and that their potential health benefits should be determined through in vivo studies.

Demand For Health

Probiotics in almond-based matrices were considered as a means of obtaining fermented products which would cover both the current demand for health-promoting foods and for alternatives to standard yoghurts. Firstly, the combined effect of high pressure homogenisation (HPH) and heat treatment on the physical stability of almond “milk” was studied. The beverage was homogenised by applying 62, 103 and 172 MPa (MF1, MF2 and MF3 respectively); MF3 was also combined with two different heat treatments (85 ºC-30 min (LH) and 121 ºC-15 min (HH)). Both microstructure and colloidal stability were analysed in all the processed samples to select the most suitable treatment with which to obtain a stable product. The selected almond milk was then fermented with probiotic Lactobacillus reuteri and Streptococcus thermophilus and the final product was characterised throughout cold storage time (28 days) as to pH, acidity, serum retention and starter viability. A sensory evaluation and probiotic survival to in vitro digestion was also conducted. The results showed that the physical and structural almond-milk properties were affected by both HPH and heat treatments, obtaining the greatest stability in MF3-LH samples. The fermented milk permitted probiotic survivals above the level suggested as minimum for ensuring health benefits during the entire controlled time and, hence, can be considered as a functional food. No differences in the sensory acceptability of the product were found between 1 and 28 storage days. Therefore, a new, functional, fermented product was developed, which was suitable for targeted groups, such as the lactose-intolerant and cow-milk-protein allergic populations.

There has been an explosion of probiotic incorporated based product. However, many reports indicated that most of the probiotics have failed to survive in high quantity, which has limited their effectiveness in most functional foods. Thus, to overcome this problem, microencapsulation is considered to be a promising process. In this study, Lactococcus lactis Gh1 was encapsulated via spray-drying with gum Arabic together with Synsepalum dulcificum or commonly known as miracle fruit. It was observed that after spray-drying, high viability (~109 CFU/mL) powders containing L. lactis in combination with S. dulcificum were developed, which was then formulated into yogurt. The tolerance of encapsulated bacterial cells in simulated gastric juice at pH 1.5 was tested in an in-vitro model and the result showed that after 2 h, cell viability remained high at 1.11 × 106 CFU/mL. Incubation of encapsulated cells in the presence of 0.6% (w/v) bile salts showed it was able to survive (~104 CFU/mL) after 2 h. Microencapsulated L. lactis retained a higher viability, at ~107 CFU/mL, when incorporated into yogurt compared to non-microencapsulated cells ~105 CFU/mL. The fortification of microencapsulated and non-microencapsulated L. lactis in yogurts influenced the viable cell counts of yogurt starter cultures, Lactobacillus delbrueckii subs. bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus.

Probiotic-based starter cultures are generally used to produce fermented milks with improved characteristics in the final product. In this study, Lactobacillus casei and Streptococcus thermophilus (Lc1-St) were used as the starter inoculum. The transformation kinetics and properties of the final product were compared with systems produced with other inocula. The Lc1-St inoculum delayed the production of lactic acid from 40 to 70 min (depending on temperature and concentration) when compared to Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus (Lb-St) and Lactobacillus johnsonii and Streptococcus thermophilus (La1-St). The Lc1-St inoculum reached the aggregation system faster (30–80 min) than Lb-St (120–210 min) and La1-St (160–220 min), however, the production of exopolysaccharides and organic phosphates was delayed as a consequence of the lack of synergy between Lc1 and St.

O exercício físico de alta intensidade está relacionado com diversas alterações sistêmicas que podem prejudicar a performance do indivíduo, tais como: a queda da imunidade, a perda de massa muscular, a insônia, entre outros. Os probióticos, quando administrados regularmente para esse público, podem reduzir os sintomas relacionados ao overtraining. O presente estudo buscou selecionar uma cepa probiótica para empregar em uma bebida esportiva (a base de leite fermentado), contendo elevada quantidade de compostos fenólicos e adicionada de cepas probióticas, sendo utilizadas como principal critério de escolha a sobrevivência da mesma após digestão simulada. Foram avaliados os probióticos Lactobacillus casei (BGP93), Lactobacillus rhamnosus (SP1) e Lactobacillus acidophilus (LA3) e Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis (BB12), utilizando-se como cultura starter o Streptococcus thermophilus (TA072). Em paralelo foi realizada avaliação da resistência das culturas probióticas em solução adicionada de suco de romã, tendo em vista a potencial atividade antimicrobiana desta fruta. Neste teste foi observado que as culturas probióticas não foram inibidas pelo suco de romã, com exceção do L. acidophilus LA3. Para digestão in vitro foi utilizado protocolo validado composto pelas fases gástrica e entérica, a viabilidade dos probióticos na bebida esportiva foi acompanhada durante armazenamento refrigerado a 6 °C por 28 dias e a sobrevivência foi avaliada, por meio de contagem seletiva em DeMan, Rogosa & Sharpe (MRS) ágar acidificado e incubação em anaerobiose. Os resultados demonstraram que o Lactobacillus casei cepa BGP93 apresentou adequada viabilidade durante o armazenamento e maior taxa de sobrevivência à digestão, quando comparado aos demais probióticos, representando um bom candidato para a elaboração da bebida esportiva.

19Streptococcus thermophiluswith high exopolysaccharide production were isolated from traditional Chinese fermented dairy products. The exopolysaccharide and viscosity of milk fermented by these 19 isolates were assayed. The strains ofStreptococcus thermophiluszlw TM11 were selected because its fermented milk had the highest exopolysaccharide content (380 mg/L) and viscosity (7716 mpa/s). ThenStreptococcus thermophiluszlw TM11 was combined withLactobacillus delbrueckiisubsp.bulgaricus3 4.5 and the combination was named SH-1. The quality of the yogurt fermented by SH-1 and two commercial starter cultures (YO-MIX 465, YF-L711) were compared. It was shown that the exopolysaccharide content of yogurt fermented by SH-1 was similar to that of yogurt fermented by YF-L711 and significantly higher than YO-MIX 465 (p<0.05). In addition, the yogurt fermented by SH-1 had the lowest syneresis (8.5%) and better texture and sensory than the samples fermented by YO-MIX 465 and YF-L711. It manifested that the selected higher exopolysaccharide production starter SH-1 could be used as yogurt starter and reduce the amount of adding stabilizer, which can compare with the imported commercial starter culture.
