A total of 112 strains lactic acid bacteria duck origin were studied for their use as a probiotic feed supplement.In vitro studies included aggregation, co-aggregation, cell surface hydrophobicity and adhesion activities on poultry crop cells human Hep2-cells. Additionally, growth with bile acids (chicken bile, ox gall taurocholic acid) tolerance to acidic pH tested. Among all the isolates, two (Lactobacillus animalis TMW 1.972 Lactobacillus salivarius 1.992) selected survival test in...

ABSTRACT EPS formed by lactobacilli in situ during sourdough fermentation may replace hydrocolloids currently used as texturizing, antistaling, or prebiotic additives bread production. In this study, a screening of >100 strains cereal-associated and intestinal lactic acid bacteria was performed for the production exopolysaccharides (EPS) from sucrose. Fifteen produced fructan, four glucan. It remarkable that formation glucan fructan most frequently found isolates species Lactobacillus...

ABSTRACT Endospores of proteolytic type B Clostridium botulinum TMW 2.357 and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens 2.479 are currently described as the most high-pressure-resistant bacterial spores relevant to food intoxication spoilage in combined pressure-temperature applications. The effects pressure (0.1 1,400 MPa) temperature (70 120°C) treatments were determined for these spores. A process employing isothermal holding times was established distinguish from effects. An increase (600 an (90 110°C)...

The microflora of sourdough preparations was investigated by examining the physiological characteristics, whole-cell protein patterns, and 16S rRNA sequences Lactobacillus isolates. Strains isolated from were placed in species brevis, sanfrancisco, reuteri. determined for L. fructivorans, fermentum, reuteri, oligonucleotide probes fast specific identification these lactobacilli deduced. organisms compared with data other additional reference strains. a rye sourdough; strains may account most...

Sourdough has played a significant role in human nutrition and culture for thousands of years is still eminent importance diet the bakery industry. Lactobacillus sanfranciscensis predominant key bacterium traditionally fermented sourdoughs.The genome L. TMW 1.1304 isolated from an industrial sourdough fermentation was sequenced with combined Sanger/454-pyrosequencing approach followed by gap closing walking on fosmids. The sequencing data revealed circular chromosomal sequence 1,298,316 bp...

ABSTRACT The inactivation of bacterial endospores by hydrostatic pressure requires the combined application heat and pressure. We have determined resistance spores 14 food isolates 5 laboratory strains Bacillus subtilis , B. amyloliquefaciens licheniformis to treatments with temperature (200 800 MPa 60 80°C) in mashed carrots. A large variation was observed, their reduction 70°C for 4 min ranged from more than 6 log units no reduction. sporulation conditions further influenced resistance....

Genotypic fingerprinting to analyse the bacterial flora of an industrial sourdough revealed a coherent group strains which could not be associated with valid species. Comparative 16S rDNA sequence analysis showed that these formed homogeneous cluster distinct from their closest relatives, Lactobacillus farciminis, alimentarius and kimchii. To characterize them further, physiological (sugar fermentation, formation DL-lactate, hydrolysis arginine, growth temperature, CO2 production)...

Recently, γ-glutamyl dipeptides (γ-GPs) were found to be responsible for the attractive kokumi flavor of Parmesan cheese (PC). Quantitation γ-GPs and their parent amino acids in 13-, 24-, 30-month ripened PC samples by LC-MS/MS stable isotope dilution analysis (SIDA), in-cheese (13)C-labeling studies, followed transferase (GGT) activity revealed generated most efficiently after 24 months ripening a GGT-catalyzed transfer moiety L-glutamine onto various acceptor released upon casein...
