Abstract The rising packaging industry together with global demand for sustainable production has increased the interest in developing biodegradable materials. aim of study was to develop edible films based on pectin, gelatin, and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose evaluate their applicability as materials gilthead seabream fillets. Mechanical properties, water barriers, wettability through contact angle measurement, optical, UV–Vis barrier properties were evaluated food applications. effective...
Scope Chlorogenic acid (3‐ O ‐caffeoyl‐quinic acid, C ‐ QA ), the caffeic ester of quinic is one most abundant phenolic acids in Western diet. The majority escapes absorption small intestine and reaches colon, where resident microbiota transforms it into several metabolites. conversion by gut from nine subjects was compared to evaluate variability bacterial metabolism. It investigated whether a potentially probiotic B ifidobacterium strain, capable hydrolysis, could affect fate. Methods...
Summary Cereal fibres such as wheat bran are considered to offer human health benefits via their impact on the intestinal microbiota. We show here by 16S rRNA gene‐based community analysis that providing amylase‐pretreated sole added energy source microbial communities in anaerobic fermentors leads selective and progressive enrichment of a small number bacterial species. In particular, OTUs corresponding uncultured L achnospiraceae ( F irmicutes) related E ubacterium xylanophilum B...
Flavonols and flavanones are polyphenols exerting many healthy biological activities. They often glycosylated by rutinose, which hampers absorption in the small intestine. Therefore they require gut microbiota to release aglycone enable colonic absorption. The role of bifidobacteria aglycones from two major rutinosides, hesperidin rutin, was investigated. In bioconversion experiments, removed rutinose both rutin hesperidin, even though complete hydrolysis not obtained. To investigate whether...
Abstract This study aimed to explore the capability of potentially probiotic bifidobacteria hydrolyze chlorogenic acid into caffeic (CA), and recognize enzymes involved in this reaction. Bifidobacterium strains belonging eight species occurring human gut were screened. The hydrolysis seemed peculiar animalis , whereas other failed release CA. Intracellular feruloyl esterase activity capable hydrolyzing was detected only B. . In silico research among esterases identified Balat_0669 as...
This study aimed to improve the knowledge of secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (SDG) transformation by human gut microbiota.SDG-supplemented microbiota cultures were inoculated with feces five subjects. The same volunteers received a flaxseed supplement for 7 days. SDG metabolites in cultures, feces, and urine monitored LC-ESI-QTOF LC-DAD. In all was deglycosylated (SECO) within 12 h. SECO underwent successive dehydroxylations demethylations yielding enterodiol (4-18% conversion)...
Conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) are positional and geometric isomers of acid involved in a number health aspects. In humans, CLA production is performed by gut microbiota, including some species potential probiotic bifidobacteria. 128 strains 31 Bifidobacterium were screened with spectrophotometric assay to identify novel producers. Most nonproducers, while producers belonged B. breve pseudocatenulatum. GC-MS revealed that producer yielded 9cis,11trans-CLA 9trans,11trans-CLA, without any...
Abstract Aim This study compared the faecal microbial composition of formula‐fed infants who did and not have colic. Methods Faecal samples from under 16 weeks age with (n = 38) without 39) colic were collected at Department Pediatrics in Turin, Italy, between February 2014 October 2015. The pH ammonia determined total bacteria, bifidobacteria , lactic acid bacteria coliforms quantified by fluorescent situ hybridisation ( FISH ). Results was significantly higher colicky than controls (483...
Infant colic is a common gastrointestinal disorder of newborns, mostly related to imbalances in the composition gut microbiota and particularly presence gas-producing coliforms lower levels Bifidobacteria Lactobacilli. Probiotics could help contain this disturbance, with formulations consisting Lactobacillus strains being most utilized. In work, probiotic strain Bifidobacterium breve B632 that was specifically selected for its ability inhibit coliforms, challenged against Enterobacteriaceae...
Abstract This study highlights the potential application of pectin‐alginate blend (PA) and pectin‐alginate‐LAE (PAL) coatings to eliminate Salmonella enteriditis 10,118 cross‐contamination without changing shelf‐life fresh eggs their physico‐chemical properties during storage at 7 °C for 42 days. Egg shells were dipped in a solution enteritidis with concentration x 10 6 cfu/ml assess cross‐contamination. PA PAL did not have significant effect on based properties. The egg treated had...
Abstract Cold storage coupled with gaseous ozone represents a potential strategy to reduce or inhibit the presence of pathogenic and spoilage bacteria in food cold chamber. This study aims evaluate impact treatment (0.05 ppm at exposure times 30 60 min) on bacterial contamination internal surface air chamber (3°C) intended for storage. The load surfaces was reduced by 0.99 ± 0.24 1.35 0.27 log after min treatment, respectively. Airborne 0.93 became non‐detectable min. Gaseous treatments 1,...
Cold-adapted yeasts are increasingly being isolated from glacial environments, including Arctic, Antarctic, and mountain glaciers. Psychrophilic yeast isolates mostly belong to Basidiomycota phylum, such as Cryptococcus, Mrakia, Rhodotorula, represent an understudied source of biodiversity for potential biotechnological applications. Since some basidiomycetous genera (e.g. Phaffia, etc.) were demonstrated produce commercially important carotenoids s-carotene, torulene, torularhodin...
Sourdoughs represent an awesome example of ecosystem in which yeasts and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) interact with each other, defining the characteristics final product terms composition, texture, taste flavor. Therefore, identification dominant LAB involved fermentation process can lead to selection starters suitable aptitude capable producing desired aromas and/or aromatic precursors. In this work, two sourdoughs samples (A B) for Panettone production were collected from artisan bakery....
