Milk is an excellent source of well balanced nutrients and also exhibits a range biological activities that influence digestion, metabolic responses to absorbed nutrients, growth development specific organs, resistance disease. Goat milk as close perfect food possible in nature.Bioactive peptides have been defined protein fragments positive impact on body functions or conditions may ultimately health. It can be generated during fermentation by the proteolytic activity starter cultures. The...

The present work discusses the technological and new selection criteria that should be included for selecting lactic acid bacteria production of fermented meat. Lactic isolated from Bulgarian traditional "lulanka" salami was studied regarding some positive parameters (growth at different temperature, pH, proteolytic activity). presence genes related to virulence factors, biogenic amines, vancomycin resistance were presented in low frequency bacteria. On other hand, antimicrobial peptides...

The aim of this study was to explore the biochemical and genetic features two-peptide bacteriocin produced by a Lactobacillus plantarum strain isolated from Italian type salami in Brazil (Lb. MBSa4). Identification bacteriocinogenic Lb. MBSa4 performed 16S rRNA sequencing. Expressed evaluated for spectrum activity, heat pH stability, mechanism action, molecular mass. Partial purification achieved cation-exchange, reversed phase - HPLC. Total DNA extracted tested presence previously described...

Aims: The aim of this work was to isolate lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains from Mongolian tarag (a traditionally homemade yoghurt) displaying antimicrobial activities against food‐borne pathogens, identify inhibitory substances and study the kinetics their production. Methods Results: Inhibitory substance‐producing bacterial were isolated tarag. From 300 clones, 31 able inhibit growth indicator strain Lactobacillus bulgaricus 340. One most active identified as delbrueckii subsp. lactis T31...

We examined 62 strains and 21 trade starter cultures from the collection of LB Bulgaricum PLC for proteolytic antimicrobial activity lactic acid bacteria (LAB) grown in goat milk. The aim this study was to investigate fermentation caseins, α-lactalbumin β-lactoglobulin by LAB, using o-phthaldialdehyde (OPA) spectrophotometric assay sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). proteolysis targeted mainly especially β-casein. Whey proteins were proteolyzed,...

Three lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains identified as Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillusbrevis, and Lactobacillussakei isolated from meat products were tested for their ability to utilize grow on xylooligosaccharides (XOSs). The extent of carbohydrate utilization by the studied was analyzed HPLC. All three showed preferences degree polymerization (DP). added oligosaccharides induced LAB form end-products typical mixed-acid fermentation. XOSs microorganisms requires action important...
