Preparation of lactic acid bacteria compound starter cultures based on pasting properties and its improvement of glutinous rice flour and dough

The effects of 5 lactic acid bacteria(LAB)fermentation on the pasting properties of glutinous rice flour were compared,and suitable fermentation strains were selected based on the changes of viscosity,setback value,and breakdown value to prepare LAB compound starter cultures.The results revealed that Latilactobacillus sakei HSD004 and Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus HSD005 had apparent advantages in increasing the viscosity and reducing the setback and breakdown values of glutinous rice flour.In particular,the compound starter created using the two abovementioned LAB in the ratio of 3:1 had better performance than that using a single LAB in improving the pasting properties and increasing the water and oil absorption capacity of glutinous rice flour.Moreover,the gelatinization enthalpy of the fermented samples increased significantly.For frozen glutinous rice dough stored for 28 days,the viscoelasticity of frozen dough prepared by compound starter was better than that of control dough,and the freezable water content was lower than that of control dough.These results indicate that compound LAB fermentation is a promising technology in the glutinous rice-based food processing industry,which has significance for its application.

Selection of Lactic Acid Bacteria Isolated from San Simón da Costa Cheese (PDO) in Order to Develop an Autochthonous Starter Culture

Traditional cheeses are an important reservoir of microbial diversity that can have important biotechnological applications, especially with a view to improving the characteristics unique to each type of cheese, and in this respect, starter cultures consisting of autochthonous lactic acid bacteria strains are of particular interest. In the present study, we investigated lactic acid bacteria population diversity in San Simón da Costa cheese (PDO, Galicia, Spain) and found a predominance of the genus Lactobacillus, which by the end of ripening accounted for 78% of the strains isolated in Rogosa agar, around 40% of those in M17 agar and about 10% of those in MSE agar. The main species of lactic acid bacteria identified were Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis, Lactobacillus casei subsp. casei, Lb. paracasei subsp. paracasei, Leuconostoc mesenteroides and Enterococcus faecalis. Virtually all the strains studied from a technological point of view yielded more than or equal to 0.24 g 100 mL-1 lactic acid. Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis (SS 194), Lactobacillus paracasei (SS 1695 and SS 1689) and Enterococcus faecalis (SS 1378 and SS 1449) strains exhibited the greatest proteolytic capacity. Based on the overall technological aptitude of the tested strains, we can propose starter cultures and co-cultures that include different combinations of previous strains with a view to manufacturing San Simón da Costa cheese from pasteurised milk.

The effects of fermentation and adsorption using lactic acid bacteria culture broth on the feed quality of rice straw

To improve the nutritional value and the palatability of air-dried rice straw, culture broth of the lactic acid bacteria community SFC-2 was used to examine the effects of two different treatments, fermentation and adsorption. Air-dried and chopped rice straw was treated with either fermentation for 30 d after adding 1.5 L nutrient solution（50 m L inocula L–1, 1.2×1012 CFU m L–1 inocula） kg–1 straw dry matter, or spraying a large amount of culture broth（1.5 L kg–1 straw dry matter, 1.5×1011 CFU m L–1 culture broth） on the straw and allowing it to adsorb for 30 min. The feed quality and aerobic stability of the resulting forage were examined. Both treatments improved the feed quality of rice straw, and adsorption was better than fermentation for preserving nutrients and improving digestibility, as evidenced by higher dry matter（DM） and crude protein（CP） concentrations, lower neutral detergent fiber（NDF）, acid detergent fiber（ADF） and NH3-N concentrations, as well as higher lactic acid production and in vitro digestibility of DM（IVDMD）. The aerobic stability of the adsorbed straw and the fermented straw was 392 and 480 h, respectively. After being exposed to air, chemical components and microbial community of the fermented straw were more stable than the adsorbed straw.

3D printed lactic acid bacteria hydrogel:cell release kinetics and stability

In this study,a new type of 3 D printed living biological hydrogel was developed by integrating lactic acid bacteria(LAB)into biocompatible and non-toxic polymer materials.Interestingly,the living materials loaded with LAB can be freeze-dried and reused for more than 100 times.The bio-hydrogel can be used to co-culture different LAB and keep its fermentation performance stable in long-term use.The release kinetics model and response surface method were used to simulate and optimize the bacteria release mode in the bio-hydrogel.The results show that the release of bacteria from hydrogel is regulated by the coupling of Fickian diffusion and polymer swelling.The stability of LAB hydrogel was evaluated by reuse experiments.The images of confocal microscopy and scanning electron microscope showed that the bacteria with high cell viability were distributed in the hydrogel and intact structure of the living hydrogel was maintained after 100 times of reuse as yoghurt starter.In conclusion,the 3 D printed LAB bio-hydrogel developed in this study has the advantage of reuse and sustainability,which is expected to open up a new way for the preparation of food culture starter.

Study on the Development of Lactic Acid Bacteria in Bread Dough Enriched with Zinc and Selenium

The incorporation of lyophilized lactic acid bacteria in dough formulation is a current trend in bread making in order toachieve quality improvement and extension of shelf life of bread. Another major aspect for today＇s bread making industry is anincrease of the biological value of bread, by addition of mineral substances that are deficient in bread （such as zinc and selenium）.This is an effective approach to combat the existing mineral deficiency in population nutrition. The aim of the present study is toinvestigate the development of lactic acid bacteria in a medium enriched with zinc and selenium. It was found that the addition ofZnSO4-7H20 in an amount of 0.174 g/kg flour and Na2SeO3.5H20 in an amount of 880.28 μg/kg flour （alone and in combination） didnot inhibit the development of lactic acid bacteria used as starter cultures in bread dough formulation. It was found that the growth ofthe lactococcal component of the applied starters is dominant. The results reveal the possibility of obtaining bread with increasedbiological value and improved quality.

Use of Starter Cultures in Olives: A Not-Correct Use Could Cause a Delay of Performances

The role of lactic acid bacteria for a correct course of fermentation of table olives has been extensively reviewed and it is a common idea that the inoculum of selected strains could exert a strong benefit for product quality;however, the basic assumption of this research is that a not-correct preparation of starter could affect its performances in brines and delay the benefit of a starter inoculum. Thus, some selected strains of LAB (lactic acid bacteria) and yeasts were inoculated into brines of Bella di Cerignola olives (Spanish style), as a single starter (LAB or yeasts) or a combined preparation (LAB + yeasts) and compared to a natural fermentation, focusing on the performances of the process (acidification, production of lactic acid) and trying to verify the basic assumption. LAB and yeasts were grown in the opportune lab media and then directly inoculated in brine after the lye treatment. LAB exerts a kind of benefit (increased content of lactic acid) only for 2 - 3 weeks;then, the inoculated samples behave in the same way as not-inoculated ones. Thus, this research underlined that a starter culture, not prepared in the correct way, could not be useful to guide the fermentation.

Recent developments of lactic acid bacteria and their metabolites on foodborne pathogens and spoilage bacteria:Facts and gaps

Lactic acid bacteria(LAB)are common microorganisms found in various ecosystems including in plants,fermented foods,and the human body.Exploring the biodiversity of lactic acid microflora and characterization of LAB is a new approach to form a variety of starter communities to create innovative nutritional food matrices.There has been growing interest in LAB isolated from non-dairy environments as these bacteria exhibit significant metabolic diversity and have unique taste-forming activities.Disease may be prevented,or treated by LAB but the treatment of disease conditions with LAB is highly dependent on the host's microbiome and diet and varies in both effectiveness and side effects from individual to individual.Future perspectives on the study of LAB may be related to the expansion of our knowledge in the fields of genetics and genetic engineering.The application of genetic science may help to improve existing strains and develop new strains with characteristics designed for specific purposes.Therefore,the preservative effects of LAB and their metabolites,as well as their interaction on the growth of food borne pathogens and food spoilage microorganisms were elucidated.In addition,the competitive models for microbial growth between LAB and other microorganisms as well as the role of LAB in the elimination of toxic compounds in food products were discussed.Moreover,the review provided an overview of the risks and benefits of using LAB in the food industry.

Stimulative effect of lactic acid bacteria in the growth of the microalgae Isochrysis galbana

Objective:To study the effect of species of lactic acid bacteria(LAB)from telluric origin on the growth of the microalgae Isochrysis galbana(I.galbana)in small and medium volume flasks.Methods:In the first experiment,7 LAB species[Carnobacterium piscicola,Lactobacillus brevis,Lactobacillus casei ssp.casei,Lactobacillus helveticus,Lactococcus lactis spp.lactis,Leuconostoc mesenteroides spp.mesenteroides(L.mesenteroides spp.mesenteroides)and Pediococcus acidilactici(P.acidilactici)]were inoculated in 250 mL flasks containing microalgae I.galbana(10^(6)cells/mL).After fitting the growth data to two mathematical models,two LAB strains(L.mesenteroides spp.mesenteroides and P.acidilactici)were selected for the second experiment in which those strains were inoculated in medium size(5 L)volume cultures of I.galbana(1.2×10^(5)-1.5×10^(5)cells/mL).The bacterial load in cultures from the first experiment was analyzed by plating on marine agar,MRS agar and thiosulfate citrate bile saltssucrose media.Results:All strains of LAB tested enhanced the growth rate and the final biomass yield of I.galbana cultures,even in the absence of nutrients in the media.The best overall results and the maximal final cell densities in small flasks were achieved with strains L.mesenteroides spp.mesenteroides and P.acidilactici,respectively.These two strains also stimulated the growth(40%and 16%with respect to controls)of I.galbana in medium size volumes.For most strains,CFU values of LAB remained stable(10^(5)-10^(8)CFU/mL)for at least 4 days.A high variability was observed in bacteria strains among treatments,with Pseudomonas and Moraxella being the most abundant bacteria.Conclusions:The results of present study showed that the growth of I.galbana in both small and medium size volumes was enhanced by LAB,both in the absence and the presence of nutrients in the culture.The highest final biomass was achieved by adding P.acidilactici,whereas Carnobacterium piscicola and L.mesenteroides spp.mesenteroides provided maximal growth rates.The former also showed an inhibitory effect on Moraxella.
