T...The effects of cellobiose, fructooligosaccharide and their combination on fermentation of skim milk by probiotic Bifidobacterium infantis were evaluated using mean doubling time as a parameter for sustaining growth. The lowest mean doubling time was observed for 2% cellobiose, followed by a combination of 2% fructooligosaccharide (FOS) with 2% cellobiose, while during storage at 4℃ for 4 weeks of fermented milk, no significant differences were observed between fermented milk supplemented with 2% cellobiose and 2% FOS. The highest viability retention during storage was observed for the combination of the two prebiotics, cellobiose and FOS. The results indicate that, in milk supplemented with cellobiose or a combination of cellobiose and FOS, Bifidobacterium infantis remain viable during 4 weeks of storage, suggesting the usefulness of cellobiose as a prebiotic ingredient in fermented products involving bifidobacteria.展开更多

[Methods] Whole soybean milk was prepared by grinding with a grinding wheel at a low concentration (low-concentration grinding) and a stainless steel mill at a high concentration (high-concentration grinding). The sensory, physical and chemical characteristics and anti-nutritional factors of whole soybean milk produced by different grinding methods were studied. [Results] Compared with low-concentration grinding, the protein content in soybean milk prepared by high-concentration grinding increased by 24%, and the dietary fiber content increased by 74.7%. Before and after high-pressure homogenization, the particle size D(4, 3) of soybean milk prepared by low-concentration grinding was 212.1 and 93.59 μm, respectively, and the particle size D(4, 3) of soybean milk prepared by high-concentration grinding was 134.0 and 64.64 μm, respectively. The trypsin inhibitor activity and phytic acid content of soybean milk prepared by high-concentration grinding were significantly lower than those of soybean milk prepared by low-concentration grinding. [Conclusions] This study improves the diet structure of the broad masses of people, strengthens people s physique, and provides a new idea for the implementation and development of China s "Soybean Action Programme".展开更多

Fifty two microbial isolates were obtained from FTM at different fermentation times, 32 of which were on MRS agar, 12 on nutrient agar and 8 on malt extract agar. Lactic acid bacteria were identified as Lactobacillus plantarum (LP), Lactococcus lactis (LC), Lactobacillus brevis, Lactococcus cremoris, Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Lactococcus thermophilus (LT). The non-LAB identified includes E. coli, Bacillus species and Proteus species while the yeasts include Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida kefyr. Lactic acid bacteria were found to predominate the total microflora of the FTM with their count ranging between 2.0 × 104 cfu/ml to 2.0 × 108 cfu/ml. Microbiological examination revealed that the FTM was safe for consumption as non-LAB counts were below the limit of acceptance which is 2.0 × 105 cfu/ml for dairy milk by Codex Alimentarius Commission. The quantity of lactic acid produced by the LAB isolates ranged between 0.86 g/l - 2.86 g/l while that of hydrogen peroxide ranged between 0.16 g/l - 0.51 g/l. Starter cultures were selected based on predominance of isolate, physiological characteristics, quantity of lactic acid and hydrogen peroxide production. The tiger nut varieties were fermented with the following starter combinations LP, LP/LC, LP/LC/LT, LP/LT while the fifth was spontaneously fermented. The nutritional, chemical and sensory properties of the starter fermented tiger nut milk were evaluated. The highest protein content (24.80%) was obtained in FTM with mixed cultures of LP/LC/LT while the least (3.00%) was obtained in spontaneously fermented milk. There was a significant difference in the FTM varieties. The highest fat content (9.40%) was obtained in spontaneously fermented tiger nut milk while the least (3.40%) was found in FTM with mixed cultures of LP/LC/LT. Fermentation decreased the pH and increased the lactic acid of the starter developed FTM, while sensory evaluation test showed that the FTM with mixed cultures of LP/LC/LT was highly acceptable. In conclusion, an excellent and acceptable FTM can be produced using treatments which comprise of pasteurization at 90°?for 15 minutes, fermentation at 45℃?for 18 hours using mixed cultures of Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactococcus lactis and Lactococcus thermophilus.展开更多

The microbiological and antimicrobial activities of these products fluctuate from one region to another depending on the local indigenous microflora. Omashikwa and Mashini Ghamushikwa fermentation processes involves the addition of Boscia albitrunca root (Omunkuzi) and butter churning. The root contributes to the flavor of the product, increasing the milk fermentation rate and churning. Mabisi is produced by letting the milk to ferment naturally until the water is separated from the whey. The water is then decanted, and the whey is shaken until it is smooth without removal of fat. A total of 180 isolates of Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were obtained and identified based on their phenotypical characterization. Cell free supernatants (CFS) of the 180 LAB isolates were evaluated for antimicrobial activities against selected food borne pathogens;Escherichia coli ATCC 25,922, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25,923, Bacillus cereus ATTC 10,876, Candida famata and Geotrichum klebahnii using the well diffusion assay. Twenty LAB isolates having the highest inhibitory effects were selected for biochemical identification using API 50 kit and these were identified as being;Lactobacillus plantarum (53%), Lactobacillus rhamnosus (29%), Pediococcus pentosaceus (6%), Lactobacillus paracasei ssp. paracasei (6%) and Lactococcus lactic ssp. lactis (6%). Pediococcus pentosaceus showed the highest inhibitory effect on all the indicator strains. This study provides an insight into LAB diversity of unstudied Namibian fermented milk products and reports a potential production of antimicrobial compounds which is significant in the standardization of protective starter cultures which can be used to control fermentation process and shelf life extension of dairy products in Namibia.展开更多

The development of low-cost alternatives for recovery of these proteins is fundamental for small producers who cannot apply expensive techniques. The present study investigated the complex coacervation technique as a cheap technology to recover proteins from sweet whey using carboxymethylcellulose, and the coacervate used as an ingredient in the formulation of probiotic fermented milk. The nutritional properties of whey-carboxymethylcellulose coacervates (WP-CMC) were evaluated in trials with animals (rats) using casein as a reference. All these parameters—the coefficient of feed efficiency (CEA), protein digestibility-corrected amino acid score (PDCAAS), and net protein ratio (NPR), as well as weight gain—were determined to evaluate protein quality. A sensory acceptance test was applied to evaluate the sensory characteristics of the product. The complex coacervation technique recovered 86% of the protein from sweet whey. No significant (p > 0.05) differences were observed in the biological tests for both groups (WP-CMC and Casein groups) when NPR (4.98 to 5.04), digestibility (92.35 to 90.64), and CEA (0.40 to 0.42) were evaluated. Probiotic fermented milk beverage containing WP-CMC (0.78%) and guar gum (0.68%) presented good acceptability as determined by sensory evaluation.

Acid inhibitors, anticholinergics, histamine H2-antagonists and antibiotics are commonly used to treat gastric ulcer. However, the accumulating evidence for resistance to antibiotics and the side effects of antibiotics and acid inhibitors, anticholinergics and histamine H2-antagonists. Therefore, there is an urgent need for approaches to treat and prevent gastric ulcer. One alternative strategy is the use of probiotic lactic acid bacteria. Aim of the study: This study aimed to isolate and characterised probiotic lactic acid bacteria from palm wine and fermented milk, and to evaluate their antiulcerogenic potentials on ethanol-induced gastric ulcer in mice. Methods: Probiotic lactic acid bacteria were isolated from the fermented milk and palm wine using pour plate technique on MRS agar and identified using the 16S r RNA gene sequencing. For functional properties and selection, acid and bile salt tolerance were evaluated based on viable colony count on MRS agar. Two probiotic lactic acid bacteria were selected for in vivo studies. Fifty-four healthy young adult Balb/c mice were randomly divided into 9 groups of 6 mice each. Gastric ulcer was induced in mice using one oral dose of absolute ethanol (10 mL/kg body weight). The probiotic lactic acid bacteria (F1 and F2) at different doses (MF3 = 9 × 10<sup>8</sup> CFU/mL, MF6 = 1.8 × 10<sup>9</sup> CFU/mL and MF9 = 2.7 × 10<sup>9</sup> CFU/mL) and omeprazole (20 mg/kg) (a reference drug) were orally administrated daily for 14 days before ulcer induction. These mice were sacrificed 1hour after induction and the stomach contents were collected for volume and pH determination. The stomachs were subjected to macroscopic, biochemical and histopathological analysis. Results: Among the isolates obtained, two were considered to have the best acid and bile tolerance capacity (viable count > 7.5 logCFU/ml) and were identified as Limosilactobacillus fermentum strain BB101 (F1) and Lactobacillus casei strain 02 (F2). Oral administration of probiotics Lactic acid bacteria F1 and F2 significantly attenuated gastric ulcer as revealed by significant reduction (P Conclusion: The results of this study revealed that palm wine and fermented milk are sources of potential probiotic lactic acid bacteria, that is lactobacillus fermentum strain BB101 and Lactobacillus casei 02 with excellent bile and acid tolerance capacity. Also, these probiotic lactic acid bacteria exhibit gastroprotective effect on ethanol-induced gastric ulcer via antioxidant, enhance gastric ulcer healing, antacids, and anti-secretary effects.展开更多

The bacterial strains included Lb. casei subsp. casei B-1922, Lb. paracasei subsp. paracasei B-4560, Lb. rhamnosus B-442 and Lb. rhamnosus B-1445. The antioxidant activity of fermented milk was estimated using DPPH radical scavenging activity, ferrous ion chelating activity (FCA) and ferric reducing power assays. The total phenolic content (TPC), titratable acidity, proteolysis degree and sensory acceptability of samples were also evaluated. The results showed that all the studied parameters were affected by both the type of starter culture and storage. Samples containing the commercial starter and Lb. rhamnosus B-1445 had the highest DPPH radical scavenging activity and TPC throughout storage. Fermented milks prepared using the commercial starter and Lb. rhamnosus B-442 or Lb. paracasei retained their high FCA and reducing power throughout storage compared to the other samples. Fermented milk containing the commercial starter and Lb. casei showed the lowest antioxidant activity. The DPPH scavenging activity for all fermented milks decreased sharply during storage, while the change in FCA, reducing power and TPC differed among the samples during storage. The highest acidity was observed in the samples containing the commercial starter and Lb. paracasei, while fermented milk prepared using commercial starter and Lb. rhamnosus B-1445 had the lowest acidity. Samples containing the commercial starter and Lb. casei had the greatest proteolysis during the first week of storage, while samples containing the commercial starter and Lb. rhamnosus B-1445 had the highest proteolysis on day 14. Fermented milks with commercial starter and Lb. rhamnosus B-1445 or Lb. paracasei were the most acceptable products, while samples containing the commercial starter and Lb. casei were less acceptable.展开更多

文摘Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori)eradication is considered a necessary step in the management of peptic ulcer disease,chronic gastritis,gastric adenocarcinoma and mucosa associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma.Standard triple therapy eradication regimens are inconvenient and achieve unpredictable and often poor results.Eradication rates are decreasing over time with increase in antibiotic resistance.Fermented milk and several of its component whey proteins have emerged as candidates for complementary therapy.In this context the current review seeks to summarize the current evidence available on their role in H.pylori eradication.Pertinent narrative/systematic reviews,clinical trials and laboratory studies on individual components including fermented milk,yogurt,whey proteins,lactoferrin,α-lactalbumin(α-LA),glycomacropeptide and immunoglobulin were comprehensively searched and retrieved from Medline,Embase,Scopus,Cochrane Controlled Trials Register and abstracts/proceedings of conferences up to May 2013.A preponderance of the evidence available on fermented milk-based probiotic preparations and bovine lactoferrin suggests a beneficial effect in Helicobacter eradication.Evidence forα-LA and immunoglobulins is promising while that for glycomacropeptide is preliminary and requires substantiation.The magnitude of the potential benefit documented so far is small and the precise clinical settings are ill defined.This restricts the potential use of this group as a complementary therapy in a nutraceutical setting hinging on better patient acceptability/compliance.Further work is necessary to identify the optimal substrate,fermentation process,dose and the ideal clinical setting(prevention/treatment,first line therapy/recurrence,symptomatic/asymptomatic,gastritis/ulcer diseases etc.).The potential of this group in high antibiotic resistance or treatment failure settings presents interesting possibilities and deserves further exploration.

文摘This study aimed to investigate the antioxidant effect of soybean milk fermented by a new type of Lactobacillus fermentum(LF-HFY02)by using D-galactose induced aging mice model.Firstly,the optimal fermentation conditions was screened out by detecting the effects of different fermentation temperature and time on the active components and antioxidant activity of soybean milk in viro.And then unfermented soybean milk and the soybean milk fermented by different Lactobacillus was given by gavage to D-galactose-induced aging mouse.The activities of GSH,GSH-Px,SOD,CAT and T-AOC in serum,brain and liver of soybean milk fermented by LF-HFY02 were significantly increased,while the content of MDA and the level of AGEs in hippocampal were significantly decreased compared with D-galactose induced group.Further more,the mRNA expression of GSH and SOD in mouse liver were obviously up-regulated by soybean milk fermented by LF-HFY02.The skin tissue structure of mice in the LF-HFY02 fermented soybean milk group was more complete,the collagen fibers were increased and arranged orderly and liver inflammation has improved compared with the model group.And Western blot analysis showed that LF-HFY02 effectively upregulated EGFR,SOD and GSH protein expression in mouse liver.These findings suggest that LF-HFY02 can effectively prevent D-galactose-induced oxidation and aging in mice,and the effect was even better than that of the Lactobacillus delbruechii subsp.bulgaricus and vitamin C.Thus,LF-HFY02 may be potentially employed as a probiotic strain.In conclusion,soybean milk fermented by LF-HFY02 can increase the content of antioxidant factors and the activity of antioxidant enzymes by regulating gene and protein expression,and finally inhibit the process of tissue cell peroxidation,and improve the oxidative damage of mouse skin and liver.The results could provide a basis for the research and development and industrial production of probiotic-related fermented soybean milk products.
文摘The effects of cellobiose, fructooligosaccharide and their combination on fermentation of skim milk by probiotic Bifidobacterium infantis were evaluated using mean doubling time as a parameter for sustaining growth. The lowest mean doubling time was observed for 2% cellobiose, followed by a combination of 2% fructooligosaccharide (FOS) with 2% cellobiose, while during storage at 4℃ for 4 weeks of fermented milk, no significant differences were observed between fermented milk supplemented with 2% cellobiose and 2% FOS. The highest viability retention during storage was observed for the combination of the two prebiotics, cellobiose and FOS. The results indicate that, in milk supplemented with cellobiose or a combination of cellobiose and FOS, Bifidobacterium infantis remain viable during 4 weeks of storage, suggesting the usefulness of cellobiose as a prebiotic ingredient in fermented products involving bifidobacteria.

Date palm (DP), camels’ milk and </span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">goats’ milk have been reported to be used for the prevention and treatment of vari</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">ous diseases in Arab countries. This study was designed to mix date palm</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> with camels’ milk and goats’. Eight formulations of both camels’ milk and goats’ were made from different percentages of date palm. These formulations were added at ratios of 0 (control), 10%, 20% and 30% (w/v) to camels’ milk and goats’ and the effect of this date palm on the composition and texture properties of the fermented obtained products were followed. It has been found that pH, protein, fat decreased and total solid, carbohydrate, ash, viscosity, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants increased with the increase of the added percentage of date palm compared to control. Microbial counts of the fermented camels’ milk (FCM) and goats’ milk (FGM) increased significantly (P < 0.05) with the addition of different formulations and during storage. Also, fermented camels’ milk (FCM) and fermented goats’ milk (FGM) fortified with different ratios date palm (DP) concentration resulted in good properties and higher acceptable sensory values (at a rate of 10% - 20%) in fresh and till the end of storage periods.

文摘[Objectives] This study was conducted to improve the nutritional value of soybean milk, enrich the variety and taste of soybean milk, and find healthy food that is more conducive to people s nutritional needs. [Methods] Whole soybean milk was prepared by grinding with a grinding wheel at a low concentration (low-concentration grinding) and a stainless steel mill at a high concentration (high-concentration grinding). The sensory, physical and chemical characteristics and anti-nutritional factors of whole soybean milk produced by different grinding methods were studied. [Results] Compared with low-concentration grinding, the protein content in soybean milk prepared by high-concentration grinding increased by 24%, and the dietary fiber content increased by 74.7%. Before and after high-pressure homogenization, the particle size D(4, 3) of soybean milk prepared by low-concentration grinding was 212.1 and 93.59 μm, respectively, and the particle size D(4, 3) of soybean milk prepared by high-concentration grinding was 134.0 and 64.64 μm, respectively. The trypsin inhibitor activity and phytic acid content of soybean milk prepared by high-concentration grinding were significantly lower than those of soybean milk prepared by low-concentration grinding. [Conclusions] This study improves the diet structure of the broad masses of people, strengthens people s physique, and provides a new idea for the implementation and development of China s "Soybean Action Programme".
文摘Fermented tigernut milk (FTM) was prepared from three different varieties (fresh yellow, big and small dry brown) of tigernut (Cyperus esculenta) obtained from Bodija market, Ibadan, Oyo state. Fifty two microbial isolates were obtained from FTM at different fermentation times, 32 of which were on MRS agar, 12 on nutrient agar and 8 on malt extract agar. Lactic acid bacteria were identified as Lactobacillus plantarum (LP), Lactococcus lactis (LC), Lactobacillus brevis, Lactococcus cremoris, Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Lactococcus thermophilus (LT). The non-LAB identified includes E. coli, Bacillus species and Proteus species while the yeasts include Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida kefyr. Lactic acid bacteria were found to predominate the total microflora of the FTM with their count ranging between 2.0 × 104 cfu/ml to 2.0 × 108 cfu/ml. Microbiological examination revealed that the FTM was safe for consumption as non-LAB counts were below the limit of acceptance which is 2.0 × 105 cfu/ml for dairy milk by Codex Alimentarius Commission. The quantity of lactic acid produced by the LAB isolates ranged between 0.86 g/l - 2.86 g/l while that of hydrogen peroxide ranged between 0.16 g/l - 0.51 g/l. Starter cultures were selected based on predominance of isolate, physiological characteristics, quantity of lactic acid and hydrogen peroxide production. The tiger nut varieties were fermented with the following starter combinations LP, LP/LC, LP/LC/LT, LP/LT while the fifth was spontaneously fermented. The nutritional, chemical and sensory properties of the starter fermented tiger nut milk were evaluated. The highest protein content (24.80%) was obtained in FTM with mixed cultures of LP/LC/LT while the least (3.00%) was obtained in spontaneously fermented milk. There was a significant difference in the FTM varieties. The highest fat content (9.40%) was obtained in spontaneously fermented tiger nut milk while the least (3.40%) was found in FTM with mixed cultures of LP/LC/LT. Fermentation decreased the pH and increased the lactic acid of the starter developed FTM, while sensory evaluation test showed that the FTM with mixed cultures of LP/LC/LT was highly acceptable. In conclusion, an excellent and acceptable FTM can be produced using treatments which comprise of pasteurization at 90°?for 15 minutes, fermentation at 45℃?for 18 hours using mixed cultures of Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactococcus lactis and Lactococcus thermophilus.
文摘The present study focused on the isolation, identification and antimicrobial profile of the dominant lactic acid bacteria from three traditional fermented milk products namely: Omashikwa, Mabisi and Mashini Ghamushikwa from the north-central and north-eastern parts of Namibia. The microbiological and antimicrobial activities of these products fluctuate from one region to another depending on the local indigenous microflora. Omashikwa and Mashini Ghamushikwa fermentation processes involves the addition of Boscia albitrunca root (Omunkuzi) and butter churning. The root contributes to the flavor of the product, increasing the milk fermentation rate and churning. Mabisi is produced by letting the milk to ferment naturally until the water is separated from the whey. The water is then decanted, and the whey is shaken until it is smooth without removal of fat. A total of 180 isolates of Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were obtained and identified based on their phenotypical characterization. Cell free supernatants (CFS) of the 180 LAB isolates were evaluated for antimicrobial activities against selected food borne pathogens;Escherichia coli ATCC 25,922, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25,923, Bacillus cereus ATTC 10,876, Candida famata and Geotrichum klebahnii using the well diffusion assay. Twenty LAB isolates having the highest inhibitory effects were selected for biochemical identification using API 50 kit and these were identified as being;Lactobacillus plantarum (53%), Lactobacillus rhamnosus (29%), Pediococcus pentosaceus (6%), Lactobacillus paracasei ssp. paracasei (6%) and Lactococcus lactic ssp. lactis (6%). Pediococcus pentosaceus showed the highest inhibitory effect on all the indicator strains. This study provides an insight into LAB diversity of unstudied Namibian fermented milk products and reports a potential production of antimicrobial compounds which is significant in the standardization of protective starter cultures which can be used to control fermentation process and shelf life extension of dairy products in Namibia.
文摘Discharge of whey proteins is still a current practice by small cheese producers. The development of low-cost alternatives for recovery of these proteins is fundamental for small producers who cannot apply expensive techniques. The present study investigated the complex coacervation technique as a cheap technology to recover proteins from sweet whey using carboxymethylcellulose, and the coacervate used as an ingredient in the formulation of probiotic fermented milk. The nutritional properties of whey-carboxymethylcellulose coacervates (WP-CMC) were evaluated in trials with animals (rats) using casein as a reference. All these parameters—the coefficient of feed efficiency (CEA), protein digestibility-corrected amino acid score (PDCAAS), and net protein ratio (NPR), as well as weight gain—were determined to evaluate protein quality. A sensory acceptance test was applied to evaluate the sensory characteristics of the product. The complex coacervation technique recovered 86% of the protein from sweet whey. No significant (p > 0.05) differences were observed in the biological tests for both groups (WP-CMC and Casein groups) when NPR (4.98 to 5.04), digestibility (92.35 to 90.64), and CEA (0.40 to 0.42) were evaluated. Probiotic fermented milk beverage containing WP-CMC (0.78%) and guar gum (0.68%) presented good acceptability as determined by sensory evaluation. WP-CMC can be considered an ingredient with high nutritional and biological value that could be applied in probiotic fermented milk as an alternative to small producers to allocate the residual whey from cheese manufacture.

文摘Background: Gastric ulcer is one of the most common gastrointestinal diseases with a worldwide prevalence of about 40% in the developed countries and 80% in Africa. Acid inhibitors, anticholinergics, histamine H2-antagonists and antibiotics are commonly used to treat gastric ulcer. However, the accumulating evidence for resistance to antibiotics and the side effects of antibiotics and acid inhibitors, anticholinergics and histamine H2-antagonists. Therefore, there is an urgent need for approaches to treat and prevent gastric ulcer. One alternative strategy is the use of probiotic lactic acid bacteria. Aim of the study: This study aimed to isolate and characterised probiotic lactic acid bacteria from palm wine and fermented milk, and to evaluate their antiulcerogenic potentials on ethanol-induced gastric ulcer in mice. Methods: Probiotic lactic acid bacteria were isolated from the fermented milk and palm wine using pour plate technique on MRS agar and identified using the 16S r RNA gene sequencing. For functional properties and selection, acid and bile salt tolerance were evaluated based on viable colony count on MRS agar. Two probiotic lactic acid bacteria were selected for in vivo studies. Fifty-four healthy young adult Balb/c mice were randomly divided into 9 groups of 6 mice each. Gastric ulcer was induced in mice using one oral dose of absolute ethanol (10 mL/kg body weight). The probiotic lactic acid bacteria (F1 and F2) at different doses (MF3 = 9 × 10<sup>8</sup> CFU/mL, MF6 = 1.8 × 10<sup>9</sup> CFU/mL and MF9 = 2.7 × 10<sup>9</sup> CFU/mL) and omeprazole (20 mg/kg) (a reference drug) were orally administrated daily for 14 days before ulcer induction. These mice were sacrificed 1hour after induction and the stomach contents were collected for volume and pH determination. The stomachs were subjected to macroscopic, biochemical and histopathological analysis. Results: Among the isolates obtained, two were considered to have the best acid and bile tolerance capacity (viable count > 7.5 logCFU/ml) and were identified as Limosilactobacillus fermentum strain BB101 (F1) and Lactobacillus casei strain 02 (F2). Oral administration of probiotics Lactic acid bacteria F1 and F2 significantly attenuated gastric ulcer as revealed by significant reduction (P Conclusion: The results of this study revealed that palm wine and fermented milk are sources of potential probiotic lactic acid bacteria, that is lactobacillus fermentum strain BB101 and Lactobacillus casei 02 with excellent bile and acid tolerance capacity. Also, these probiotic lactic acid bacteria exhibit gastroprotective effect on ethanol-induced gastric ulcer via antioxidant, enhance gastric ulcer healing, antacids, and anti-secretary effects.
文摘This study investigated the effect of using different combinations of commercial starter culture and lactobacilli strains on the antioxidant properties of fermented camel milk for 14 days. The bacterial strains included Lb. casei subsp. casei B-1922, Lb. paracasei subsp. paracasei B-4560, Lb. rhamnosus B-442 and Lb. rhamnosus B-1445. The antioxidant activity of fermented milk was estimated using DPPH radical scavenging activity, ferrous ion chelating activity (FCA) and ferric reducing power assays. The total phenolic content (TPC), titratable acidity, proteolysis degree and sensory acceptability of samples were also evaluated. The results showed that all the studied parameters were affected by both the type of starter culture and storage. Samples containing the commercial starter and Lb. rhamnosus B-1445 had the highest DPPH radical scavenging activity and TPC throughout storage. Fermented milks prepared using the commercial starter and Lb. rhamnosus B-442 or Lb. paracasei retained their high FCA and reducing power throughout storage compared to the other samples. Fermented milk containing the commercial starter and Lb. casei showed the lowest antioxidant activity. The DPPH scavenging activity for all fermented milks decreased sharply during storage, while the change in FCA, reducing power and TPC differed among the samples during storage. The highest acidity was observed in the samples containing the commercial starter and Lb. paracasei, while fermented milk prepared using commercial starter and Lb. rhamnosus B-1445 had the lowest acidity. Samples containing the commercial starter and Lb. casei had the greatest proteolysis during the first week of storage, while samples containing the commercial starter and Lb. rhamnosus B-1445 had the highest proteolysis on day 14. Fermented milks with commercial starter and Lb. rhamnosus B-1445 or Lb. paracasei were the most acceptable products, while samples containing the commercial starter and Lb. casei were less acceptable.
