Influence of the addition ofHelianthus tuberosusL. fermented with different lactobacilli on acrylamide content in biscuits
2014
Summary The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of the addition of Helianthus tuberosus L. fermented with different lactobacilli (Lactobacillus sakei KTU05-6, Pediococcus acidilactici KTU05-7 and Pediococcus pentosaceus KTU05-9) on acrylamide content in biscuits. Results of study indicated that submerged fermented Helianthus tuberosus L. tubers had the significantly (P ≤ 0.05) lower pH, higher total titratable acidity and from 1.2 to 1.3 times higher protease and from 1.2 to 2.0 higher alpha-amylase activities compared with treated by solid-state fermentation. The acrylamide content in all biscuit samples enriched with submerged fermented Helianthus tuberosus L. was measured lowe…
Effect of fermented Helianthus tuberosus L. tubers on acrylamide formation and quality properties of wheat bread
2013
Abstract The main focus in this study was to investigate the effects on wheat bread safety and quality due to addition of Helianthus tuberosus L. (JA) tubers, fermented by different lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains (Pediococcus acidilactici KTU05-7, Pediococcus pentosaceus KTU05-8, P. pentosaceus KTU05-9, Lactobacillus sakei KTU05-6, P. pentosaceus KTU05-10). We found experimentally that JA tubers fermented with LAB contained more L(+) than D(−) lactic acid, which resulted in safer products than by spontaneous treatment. The concentrations of biogenic amines in all analysed fermented JA products were far below levels causing a health risk, while the products fermented with LAB contained l…
Effect of different salting technologies on the chemical and microbiological characteristics of PDO Pecorino Siciliano cheese
2011
The present work was carried out to evaluate the effect of two salting technologies [dry salting (DS) and the combined dry-brine salting (DBS)] on the chemicophysical and microbiological characteristics of PDO Pecorino Siciliano cheeses of different final weight (6 and 12 kg). Dry matter was significantly influenced by both salting process and final size. Twelve kilogram cheeses treated by DBS showed higher protein content with higher soluble nitrogen per cent than 6 kg cheeses. Salt content was in the range 3.1–4.0% on dry matter. The colour did not show significant differences for any of the factors, but 12 kg cheeses subjected to DS showed higher yellow index than the other cheeses. The …
Probiotiskās biomasas producēšana, izmantojot laktozi saturošus industriālos substrātus
2020
Darba mērķis bija izpētīt iespēju saaudzēt divu probiotisko Lactobacillus celmu biomasu, kā substrātu izmantojot sūkalas, un pārbaudīt šīs biomasas izdzīvotību biezpienā un mājas sierā, lai izvērtētu jauna tipa probiotiskā produkta izveides iespējas. Tika novērtēta laktozes koncentrācijas ietekme uz šo celmu augšanu. Tika izpētīti šo celmu augšanas parametri uz saldajām un skābajām sūkalām un salīdzināti ar rādītājiem MRS barotnē, un novērtēta biomasas izdzīvotība biezpienā un mājas sierā. Pētījuma laikā tika novērtētas pH izmaiņas, laktozes patēriņš un pienskābes producēšana. Aplūkojot dažādu laktozes koncentrāciju ietekmi uz abiem celmiem – Lactobacillus casei-01 optimālākā laktozes konce…
Lentils enhance probiotic growth in yogurt and provide added benefit of antioxidant protection
2013
Abstract We evaluated the antioxidant potential of lentil polysaccharides in stimulating the growth of probiotic bacteria in yogurt. Microbial counts, pH and total titratable acidity (TTA) were measured in yogurt samples containing starter cultures with or without probiotic bacteria, supplemented with whole ground green lentils. Additionally, the antioxidant potential of polysaccharides extracted from green, red, and dehulled red lentils were measured by oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) assay. Results demonstrate that green lentils selectively enhanced the number of probiotic bacteria in yogurt in the initial stages of storage and maintained overall microbial counts (starter cultur…
Purification and characterization of an inducible p-coumaric acid decarboxylase from Lactobacillus plantarum
2006
Abstract Lactobacillus plantarum cells displayed substrate-inducible decarboxylase activities on p-coumaric and ferulic acids of 0.6 and 0.01 μmol min−1 mg−1, respectively. Activity in uninduced cells or corresponding cell extracts was undetectable (
Impact of ultrasound-assisted extraction and solvent composition on bioactive compounds and in vitro biological activities of thyme and rosemary
2020
Mediterranean herbs, specially thyme and rosemary, are important ingredients in food preparation and more recently have been studied as natural sources of bioactive compounds. This study aimed to study the effect of matrix (thyme vs. rosemary), and extraction protocol (conventional extraction vs. ultrasound assisted extraction) solvent composition (water vs. 50:50 ethanol:water solution) on the extraction of high value compounds (phenolic compounds, flavonoids and carotenoids) and also explore the antioxidant, antimicrobial (Listeria innocua, Staphylococcus aureus, and Salmonella enterica), probiotic (Lactobacillus casei and Bifidobacterium lactis), and anti-inflammatory activities. The phe…
A49 LACTOBACILLI DEGRADE WHEAT AMYLASE TRYPSIN INHIBITORS (ATI) TO AMELIORATE GUT DYSFUNCTION INDUCED BY IMMUNOGENIC WHEAT PROTEINS
2019
BACKGROUND: Wheat-related disorders involve a wide spectrum of conditions, triggered by the ingestion of gluten-containing cereals. The induction of gluten-specific immune responses in celiac disease is well established. However, the contribution of gluten and/or non-gluten proteins in the generation of symptoms in other wheat-related disorders is controversial. Amylase trypsin inhibitors (ATIs) are pest-resistant molecules in modern wheat with TLR4-activating capacities. AIMS: We investigated the role of ATIs in the generation of gut barrier dysfunction and dysmotility in wild-type mice as well as in the severity of gluten-induced immunopathology in genetically predisposed mice. We also de…
Lactobacillus vini sp. nov., a wine lactic acid bacterium homofermentative for pentoses.
2006
Six strains with more than 99·5 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, identical internal spacer region profiles and restriction analysis of the amplified 16S rRNA gene patterns were isolated from fermenting grape musts during independent studies carried out in France and Spain many years apart. Strains are Gram-positive, motile, facultatively anaerobic rods that do not exhibit catalase activity and have the ability to utilize pentose sugars (ribose and/or l-arabinose), although they are homofermentative bacteria. Strains ferment pentoses exclusively yielding lactic acid as the end product. A broad set of molecular techniques has been applied to characterize these strains and the results show…
Reducing of acrylamide formation in wheat biscuits supplemented with flaxseed and lupine
2016
Abstract The use of pseudo-cereals for wheat products making is to fortify the deficiency of nutritional value in wheat flour. However rich in proteins plant additives could increase acrylamide content in baked products. The present study was focused on acrylamide reduction in wheat flour biscuits supplemented with lupine and defatted flaxseed flour treated by solid state (SSF) and submerged (SMF) fermentations by Lactobacillus sakei , Pediococcus pentosaceus and Pediococcus acidilactici strains. After fermentation the decrease in asparagine was on average of 67.6 and 80.6%, and reducing sugar contents were reduced by 18 and 79.4% in flaxseed and lupine, respectively. The most effective acr…
