Importance of lactic acid bacteria in Asian fermented foods

Lactic acid bacteria play important roles in various fermented foods in Asia. Besides being the main component in kimchi and other fermented foods, they are used to preserve edible food materials through fermentation of other raw-materials such as rice wine/beer, rice cakes, and fish by producing organic acids to control putrefactive microorganisms and pathogens. These bacteria also provide a s...

Determination of antibiotic resistance of lactic acid bacteria isolated from traditional Turkish fermented dairy products

In this study, the antibiotic resistance (AR) of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from traditional Turkish fermented dairy products was investigated. Yogurt, white cheese, tulum cheese, cokelek, camız cream and kefir as dairy products were collected from various supermarkets. Lactic acid bacteria such as Lactobacillus spp., Streptococcus spp., Bifidobacterium spp., and Enterecoccus spp. were...

A Glutamic Acid-Producing Lactic Acid Bacteria Isolated from Malaysian Fermented Foods

l-glutamaic acid is the principal excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain and an important intermediate in metabolism. In the present study, lactic acid bacteria (218) were isolated from six different fermented foods as potent sources of glutamic acid producers. The presumptive bacteria were tested for their ability to synthesize glutamic acid. Out of the 35 strains showing this capability, st...

Screening of Indigenous Oxalate Degrading Lactic Acid Bacteria from Human Faeces and South Indian Fermented Foods: Assessment of Probiotic Potential

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have the potential to degrade intestinal oxalate and this is increasingly being studied as a promising probiotic solution to manage kidney stone disease. In this study, oxalate degrading LAB were isolated from human faeces and south Indian fermented foods, subsequently assessed for potential probiotic property in vitro and in vivo. Based on preliminary characteristics...

Screening of Lactic Acid Bacteria Strains Isolated from Some Nigerian Fermented Foods for EPS Production

This study was embarked upon to obtain laboratory strains of lactic acid bacteria from some traditional fermented foods, with potential for the production of exopolysaccharides (EPSs), which is an important factor in assuring the proper consistency and texture of fermented food. One hundred and fifteen strains of Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) were isolated and characterized from some fermented dai...
