Milk fermentation process has been relied on the activity of LAB, where transformation of milk to good quality of fermented milk products made possible. The presence of LAB in milk fermentation can be either as spontaneous or inoculated starter cultures. Both of them are promising cultures to be explored in fermented milk manufacture. LAB have a role in milk fermentation to produce acid which is important as preservative agents and generating flavour of the products. They also produce exopolysaccharides which are essential as texture formation. Considering the existing reports on several health-promoting properties as well as their generally recognized as safe (GRAS) status of LAB, they can be widely used in the developing of new fermented milk products.展开更多

The aim of this study was to investigate the quality of fermented goat milk and cow milk, as well as the viability of LAB in the same products. Fermentations were performed with pasteurized goat milk or cow milk added with skim milk （18% of solids） using three separately different starters; yoghurt starter （a combination of Streptococcus thermophilus FNCC-0040 and Lactobacillus bulgaricus FNCC-0041）, single starter of Lactobacillus acidophilus FNCC-0029 and Lactobacillus casei FNCC-0051. The parameters observed were pH, acidity, nutritional quality including protein, fat and lactose content and product＇s viscosity. Acidity, pH and viability of LAB were also monitored during storage at refrigerated temperature （4 ℃） for 28 days. Results show that the different LAB starters did not affect the pH, acidity, lactose and protein content. Differences on LAB starters affected fat content and viscosity. The highest score of viscosity （30.00 Pa.s ± 7.02 Pa.s） was observed on products fermented by yoghurt starters, followed by products obtained using starter of L. acidophilus （17.7 ±11.4） and L. casei （8.62 ±0.35）. Protein content, acidity, pH and viscosity were not significantly different between products obtained from goat milk and cow milk. Fat content in fermented goat milk was higher （5.03% ±0.62%） than in fermented cow milk （3.52% ±0.37%）, however, lactose content was higher in fermented cow milk （5.16% ±0.40%） than in fermented goat milk （4.53% ±0.35%）. Total LAB concentration in fermented cow milk during storage was 8.03± 0.52 logt0 cfu/mL, while in fermented goat milk was 7.81 loglo cfu/mL ± 0.67 loglo cfu/mL. There was a 10.83% decrease in LAB viability in fermented cow milk and 11.40% in fermented goat milk after 28 days of storage. In conclusion, quality of fermented milk is affected by the starters applied, raw milk source and storage period.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

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 fermentation qualities of PV silage ensiled with the LAB and WB additives were improved compared with those of the control （PV ensiled alone）. However, the pH did not decline to the critical level of 4.2, and the nutritional values of the silage were not protected against losses in the LAB and WB addition silages. Ensiling PV in mixture with CS generated optimal moisture content and buffering capacity （BC） of ensiled materials. After adding the LAB and WB additives to mixture silage, especially adding LAB＋WB, the fermentation qualities and nutritional values of the mixture silage were improved significantly （P〈0.05）, and the Flieg＇s score reached to 99. The result suggested that it is a feasible method to ensile the mixed materials of PV with CS by adding LAB and high concentration of water soluble-carbohydrate materials for providing a good fermentation quality of PV silage.展开更多
