Proteolytic enzymes of dairy starter cultures

Fermented Dairy Products: Starter Cultures and Potential Nutritional Benefits

Fermented dairy products have long been an important component of nutritional diet. Historically, fermentation process involved unpredictable and slow souring of milk caused by the organisms inherently present in milk. However, modern microbiological processes have resulted in the production of different fermented milk products of higher nutritional value under controlled conditions. These prod...

Starter cultures used in probiotic dairy product preparation and popular probiotic dairy drinks

Fermented dairy products are products that can be produced via fermentation of lactose by microorganisms especially by lactic acid bacteria. When examining worldwide, various dairy products which are different in name but similar in content can be found and those products are an important part of human diet (Tamime & Marshall, 1997; Moayednia et al., 1999; Tamime & Robinson, 1999; Nilsson et al...

The effect of proteolytic activity of starter cultures on technologically important properties of yogurt

In this study, the effects of proteolytic activity of yogurt starter bacteria on physicochemical and technological properties of yogurt were investigated. Moreover, impact of proteolytic activity and production of exopolysaccharide (EPS) on the performance of each strain were screened. In order to compare the textural properties of yogurt samples, four parameters were evaluated: syneresis, wate...

Proteolytic enzymes.

Leipner, J. and R. Saller (2000). "Systemic enzyme therapy in oncology: effect and mode of action." Drugs 59(4): 769-80. Plant extracts with a high content of proteolytic enzymes have been used for a long time in traditional medicine. Besides proteolytic enzymes from plants, 'modern' enzyme therapy additionally includes pancreatic enzymes. The therapeutic use of proteolytic enzymes is partly ba...
