abstract: the “encyclopedia of fermented fresh milk” has classified acidophilus and bifidus milks as non-traditional fermented milk products. these products contain lactobacillus acidophilus and bifidobacterium spp., respectively, that are known as probiotic microoganisms. in this study, some aspects of acidity development, ph measurement and bacterial counts were monitored when these micro-org...

Concurrent in vivo and in vitro studies were conducted to evaluate urea (U), soybean meal (SBM), ground soybeans (RAW), extruded soybeans (ES) or extruded soybeans plus urea (ES + U) as primary supplemental N sources in starter diets for Holstein steers. Three groups of 48 Holstein steers each were fed five different starter diets to 181 kg BW in three experimental periods over 2 yr. Average da...

Aims: This study was conducted to isolate, identify and screen microorganisms associated with soy iru for the ability to be used as starter in the fermentation of soya bean (Glycine max) to produce soy iru. Study Design: To control the fermentation of soya bean (Glycine max) to produce soya iru using functional starter culture in order to improve the quality of the product. Place and Duration o...

17 Oscypek is a traditional Polish, scalded-smoked cheese, with a protected designation of origin 18 (PDO) status manufactured from raw sheep's milk without starter cultures in the Tatra Mountains 19 region of Poland. This study was undertaken in order to get some insight on the microbiota which 20 develops and evolves during the manufacture and ripening stages of Oscypek. To this end, we made ...

Kuruts are traditional acid-coagulated fermented dairy products in semisolid or dried form. The present study used probiotic Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) and Cryptococcus laurentii yeast, a kurut isolate, to make mixed-fermentation kurut. In addition, was with L. as starter. Kurut also kefir grains representing way initiate the fermentation. viability of strain physicochemical properti...

Reliable methods for selective enumeration of probiotic and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are required for improving the functional food quality of probiotics. Various methods were evaluated for selective enumeration of seventeen LAB and probiotic strains. Tested sugars failed to select any species however, improved recovery of total LAB count. The strains were viable and physiologically active wi...

Production of smear-ripened cheese critically depends on the surface growth of multispecies microbial consortia comprising bacteria and yeasts. These microorganisms often originate from the cheese-making facility and, over many years, have developed into rather stable, dairy-specific associations. While commercial smear starters are frequently used, it is unclear to what degree these are able t...

In this work, an ad hoc method to identify and quantify polyphenols from caper berries was developed on high-performance liquid chromatography/electrospray ionisation source/mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-MS). The method was applied during fermentation carried out with Lactobacillus pentosus OM13 (Trial S) and without starter (Trial C). A total of five polyphenols were identified. All samples cont...
