Enzymatic Activity in Fermented Milk Products Containing Bifidobacteria

TROJANOVÁ I., RADA V. (2005): Enzymatic activity in fermented milk products containing bifidobacteria. Czech J. Food Sci., 23: 224–229. Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus and Bifidobacterium animalis strains were tested for α-galactosidase, β-galactosidase and α-glucosidase activities. Commercially available yoghurts with bifidobacteria were also tested. Whi...

Fermented milk derives bioactive peptides with antihypertensive effects

Functional foods present great promise for future developments in human nutrition. In the fermented dairy products, milk proteins serve as an important source of a range of bioactive peptides encrypted within the sequence of the native proteins and thus be released by proteolysis. From the bioactive peptides detected in dairy products, is inhibitors of angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE), whi...

Antihypertensive Peptides Specific to Lactobacillus helveticus Fermented Milk

Use of Lactobacillus helveticus BGRA43 for Manufacturing Fermented Milk Products

Lactobacillus helveticus BGRA43 isolated from human intestines shows antimicrobial activity against foodborne pathogens and during fermentation in milk releases peptides with demonstrated anti-inflammatory properties. In this study, it was found that strain BGRA43 exhibits antimicrobial activity against human pathogens Yersinia enterocolitica, Shigella sonnei, S. flexneri and Streptococcus pneu...
