Impedimetric method for estimating the residual activity of freeze-dried Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus
نویسندگان
چکیده
The residual activity of Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus cultures was analysed using pH and various impedimetric methods (impedance detection time (IDT), conductance and capacitance) to quantify the loss in activity following freeze-drying. The large variation recorded in IDT values for similar levels of activity suggests that IDT is not an adequate parameter for estimating the culture’s fermentative activity. Comparison of the impedance signals generated revealed that capacitance yields values that are more reproducible than those of conductance, and also gives a better correlation with pH. Statistical analysis (po0:05) indicated that there are no significant differences between the capacitance and the pH method when attempting to estimate residual activity.

Effects of various sugars added to growth and drying media upon thermotolerance and survival throughout storage of freeze-dried Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus.
The aim of this research effort was to investigate the role of various sugar substrates in the growth medium upon thermotolerance and upon survival during storage after freeze-drying of Lactobacillus bulgaricus. Addition of the sugars tested to the growth medium, and of these and sorbitol to the drying medium (skim milk) was investigated so as to determine whether a relationship exists between ...

Freeze-drying is a common preservation technology in the pharmaceutical industry. Various studies have investigated the effect of different cryoprotectants on probiotics during freeze-drying. However, information on the effect of cryoprotectants on the stability of some Lactobacillus strains during freeze-drying seems scarce. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to establish production m...

The lactic acid bacteria (LAS) play an important role in the production of fermented foods. The development of concentrated cultures of LAS, for inoculating the production vat directly (bulk starters), has eliminated many problems traditionally involved in their preparation and maintenance by the food industry. For industrial use, LAS are often preserved in a frozen or dried form, the latter pr...

Immune senescence potentially leads to an increased risk of infections. It is desirable to augment the immune system and protect against infections by daily consumption of immunostimulatory food. The present study evaluated whether the intake of yoghurt fermented with Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus (L. bulgaricus) OLL1073R-1 has an effect on resistance to the common cold. We conducte...
