Glucan type exopolysaccharide (EPS) shows prebiotic effect and reduces syneresis in chocolate pudding

Glucan as Prebiotic or Probiotic?

Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com immune homeostasis in the healthy population. The question “which food components impact the functions of the immune system” is simple-all do. Protein malnutrition affects all parts of the immune system. The concept of dietary components being of paramount importance to immune functions is also tangible in the formulation of immunonutritional food. ...

Exopolysaccharide Production and Prevention of Syneresis in Starch Using Encapsulated Probiotic Lactobacillus plantarum

Encapsulation of probiotic bacteria with a matrix can increase their survival rate by protecting them from adverse conditions and at the same time without affecting the production of metabolites. An effort has been made to encapsulate the probiotic Lactobacillus plantarum using calcium alginate. Box-Behnken model of response surface methodology (RSM) was employed in the optimization of major en...

Chocolate equals stop. Chocolate-specific inhibition training reduces chocolate intake and go associations with chocolate.

Earlier research has demonstrated that food-specific inhibition training wherein food cues are repeatedly and consistently mapped onto stop signals decreases food intake and bodyweight. The mechanisms underlying these training effects, however, remain unclear. It has been suggested that consistently pairing stimuli with stop signals induces automatic stop associations with those stimuli, thereb...

The putative protective role of the exopolysaccharide (EPS)-producing

Exopolysaccharide (EPS) Synthesis by Oenococcus oeni: From Genes to Phenotypes

Oenococcus oeni is the bacterial species which drives malolactic fermentation in wine. The analysis of 50 genomic sequences of O. oeni (14 already available and 36 newly sequenced ones) provided an inventory of the genes potentially involved in exopolysaccharide (EPS) biosynthesis. The loci identified are: two gene clusters named eps1 and eps2, three isolated glycoside-hydrolase genes named dsr...
