With the increased consumer demand for nutritional foods, it is important to develop value-added products, which will not only catch attention of a wider group but also provide greater benefits in terms enhanced nutrition and functionality. Milk whey proteins are one most valued constituents due their techno-functional attributes. Whey rich bioactive peptides, possessing properties such as being antioxidant antihypertensive well having antimicrobial activities, which, when ingested, confers...
ABSTRACT The attachment of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 (EHEC O157) to host intestinal epithelial cells is essential for the development hemorrhagic colitis and hemolytic-uremic syndrome in humans. Genes involved are carried within a pathogenicity island named locus enterocyte effacement ( LEE ), known be directly activated by quorum sensing (QS). In present study, we investigated autoinducer-2 (AI-2) production expression several virulence-related genes EHEC O157 grown absence...
Bioactive peptides are hydrolysates with specific amino acid sequences that exert a positive physiological influence on the body. They inert within native protein, but once cleaved from protein by microbial or added enzymes and/or gastrointestinal during digestive process, they apply their beneficial traits. Dairy products, particularly fermented potential sources of bioactive peptides: several them possess extra‐nutritional functions qualify to be classified under ‘Functional Foods’ label....
Abstract Membrane fouling is a major operational problem that leads to reduced membrane performance and premature replacement of membranes. Bacterial biofilms developed on reverse osmosis membranes can cause severe flux declines during whey processing. Various types biological, physical, chemical factors regulate the formation biofilms. Extracellular polymeric substances produced by constitutive microflora provide an effective barrier for embedded cells. Cultural microscopic techniques also...
Bifidobacterium animalis ssp. lactis ATCC27536 and Lactobacillus acidophilus ATCC4356 were encapsulated in a conjugated whey protein hydrolysate (WPH10) through spray drying. Probiotic cultures added at the ratio of 1:1 into WPH10 solution spiking level about 10 log10 cfu/mL. The mixture was dried Niro drier with inlet outlet temperatures 200°C 90°C, respectively. final product determined for cell viability further stored 16 wk 25°, 4°, -18°C to monitor functionality. Micro images showed...
This review focuses on the potential opportunities to incorporate functional ingredients like probiotics in dairy fat-rich matrix develop foods. Many dietary guidelines and relevant literature have general indicated many benefits of consuming milk-fat-rich products for human body. Milk fat contains essential nutrients, including fat-soluble vitamins; short-, medium-, long-chain with odd branched chain fatty acids; amino calcium, which are all known their bioactive properties. In addition,...
The present study investigated types of bacterial endospores in powdered dairy ingredients. For enumeration, the samples were heat‐treated at 80°C/12 min for regular spore type, 100°C/30 high‐heat‐resistant spores (HHRS), and 106°C/30 specially thermoresistant (STS), followed by incubation 24 h 37°C (for mesophiles) 55°C thermophiles). Of three types, type (80°C/12 min) was observed to be most prominent endospore Bacillus licheniformis as predominant species tested This would helpful utilise...
This study hypothesised that there may be induction of pitting corrosion or microbially‐induced on stainless steel (SS) dairy‐processing surfaces by biofilms common milk sporeformers such as Bacillus sporothermodurans and Geobacillus stearothermophilus . Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) micrographs generated from energy‐dispersive spectroscopy were used to observe find the elemental composition distribution control pitted surfaces. From SEM images micrographs, it was observed SS could...
The probiotic foods market is growing exponentially; however, probiotics' survivability and interaction with product attributes pose major challenges. A previous study of our lab developed a spray-dried encapsulant utilizing whey protein hydrolysate-maltodextrin probiotics high viable counts enhanced bioactive properties. Viscous products such as butter could be suitable carriers for encapsulated probiotics. objective the current was to standardize this in salted unsalted butter, followed by...
