Proline iminopeptidase PepI overexpressing Lactobacillus casei as an adjunct starter in Edam cheese
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this study the growth of genetically modified Lactobacillus casei LAB6, overexpressing proline iminopeptidase PepI and its capacity to increase free proline was investigated during ripening of Edam cheese. The strain successfully survived 12 weeks of ripening period in cheese. The food-grade plasmid pLEB604, carrying the pepI gene, was stable, and PepI enzyme was active in LAB6 cells isolated at different stages of the ripening process. However, HPLC analyses indicated that Lb. casei LAB6 could not increase the amount of free proline in ripened cheese.

A New Probiotic Cheddar Cheese with High ACE-Inhibitory Activity and g-Aminobutyric Acid Content Produced with Koumiss-Derived Lactobacillus casei Zhang
Cheddar cheese has been manufactured with Lactobacillus casei Zhang as the dairy starter adjunct. L. casei Zhang had previously been isolated from koumiss collected from Xilin Guole in Inner Mongolia and characterized in detail with regard to their probiotic potential. The addition of L. casei Zhang to Cheddar cheese had no adverse effects on sensory criteria. The cheese made with 0.1, 1 and 2 ...

The gene for proline iminopeptidase from Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. lactis DSM 7290 coding for an enzyme that hydrolyses the synthetic substrate L-prolyl-beta-naphthylamide (Pro-beta NA) was cloned in Escherichia coli. An enzymic plate assay was used to screen for positive clones. The gene, designated pepI, was subcloned into vector pUC18 and sequenced. The nucleotide sequence revealed an...

The objective of this study is to determine the viability of Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM and Lactobacillus rhamnosus HN001 in Edam cheese as well as the effect of probiotic bacteria on paracasein proteolysis and changes in the water activity during ripening. The use of probiotics L. rhamnosus HN001 and L. acidophilus NCFM in Edam cheese slightly changed its chemical composition, but the chan...
متن کاملOverexpression of Lactobacillus casei D-hydroxyisocaproic acid dehydrogenase in cheddar cheese.
Metabolism of aromatic amino acids by lactic acid bacteria is an important source of off-flavor compounds in Cheddar cheese. Previous work has shown that alpha-keto acids produced from Trp, Tyr, and Phe by aminotransferase enzymes are chemically labile and may degrade spontaneously into a variety of off-flavor compounds. However, dairy lactobacilli can convert unstable alpha-keto acids to more-...

AIMS This study investigates the dynamics of the microflora, particularly the lactobacilli, in Cheddar cheese manufactured from raw and microfiltered milk containing different adjunct cultures. METHODS AND RESULTS Sixteen cheeses - raw milk, adjunct and control cheeses - were manufactured in four trials. Lactobacilli were identified by PCR methods in one trial, and by phenotypic typing for al...
