Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are renowned for the potential of producing antimicrobial compounds. This study focuses on isolation and effect lactic isolated from locally fermented cow milk products (Nono, Kindirmo Maishanu). The LAB isolates against clinical test was also investigated. Fifty (50) samples each Nono Kindirmo, twenty-five (25) Maishanu were collected sellers in Keffi, Nasarawa State...

This experiment investigated the effect of intraruminal infusion of propionic acid on ruminal VFA metabolism and the absorption of nutrients by the mesenteric- and portal-drained viscera of seven Friesian steers, average BW 127 kg, fed a dried grass-pellet diet. Each received by random allocation 0 (control), .5, or 1.0 mol of propionic acid/d for 7 d. Ruminal acetate and propionate irreversibl...

Secondary fermentations during the bulk storage of fermented cucumbers can result in spoilage that causes a total loss of the fermented product, at an estimated cost of $6,000 to $15,000 per affected tank. Previous research has suggested that such fermentations are the result of microbiological utilization of lactic acid and the formation of acetic, butyric, and propionic acids. The objectives ...

In this research, it was aimed to determine some chemical, microbiological and sensory properties of acur pickles compare them with Turkish Standards their differences. Chemical analyzes were determined pH the pickle 3.27-3.99, salt 2.85-8.15%, titration acidity 0.51-0.97%, dry matter 4.80-8.35%, vitamin C 4.15-6.81 mg/100mL, lactic acid 0.229-0.530 mg/mL, acetic 0.137-0.256 propionic 0.027-0.0...

A method is described for the simultaneous monitoring of four short chain fatty acids (SCFA) (lactic, acetic, propionic and butyric acid), two mono-saccarides (fructose and glucose) and ethanol in liquid feed for pigs and liquid feed fermented with lactic acid bacteria. The method involves a simple extraction technique, with average recoveries between 83 and 98%. Determination and quantificatio...

BACKGROUND Propionic acid derived from colonic bacterial fermentation contributes substantially to overall propionate load in children with disorders of propionate metabolism, and its reduction is important for adequate metabolic control. AIMS To evaluate the in vitro and in vivo effects of antibiotic treatment on propionate production by colonic bacteria, and plasma propionate concentrations...

1. An experiment was conducted using three non-lactating cows completely maintained by infusions of volatile fatty acids into the rumen, and casein into the abomasum. Plasma insulin responses to propionic acid, glucose or casein were recorded. Further information was obtained using protein-free infusions. 2. When part of the propionic acid was infused into the rumen in a twice-daily 3 h dose an...
