Two probiotic bacteria (Lb. acidophilus and B. lactis) were immobilized on the alginate coat of strawberry pieces and were added to the prepared sweet non fat dietary stirred yogurt. Physico-chemical parameters namely pH value, titratable acidity and synersis along with the viability of probiotic bacteria of the samples were evaluated over the 8 days of storage at 5 ºC at 2 day intervals. A sig...

BACKGROUND Camel milk is amongst valuable food sources in Iran. On the other hand, due to the presence of probiotic bacteria and bacteriocin producers in camel milk, probiotic bacteria can be isolated and identified from this food product. OBJECTIVES The objectives of the present research were the isolation and molecular identification of lactic acid bacteria from camel milk and evaluation of...

industrially important microorganisms used for the production of various fermented foods. Recently, probiotic lactic acid bacteria defined as “living microorganisms that benefit the health of the host by conditioning the intestinal environment” have attracted the attention of many scientists, and began to be applied in the dairy industry. For example, the intake of fermented milk containing pro...

The aim of the present work was to evaluate the efficacy of Na-alginate edible films as vehicles for delivering probiotic bacteria to sliced ham with or without pretreatment using high pressure processing (HPP). Three strains of probiotic bacteria were incorporated in Na-alginate forming solution. Ham slices (with or without pretreatment using HPP at 500 MPa for 2 min) were packed under vacuum ...

objective(s):urinary tract infection (uti) caused by bacteria is one of the most frequent infections in human population. inappropriate use of antibiotics, often leads to appearance of drug resistance in bacteria. however, use of probiotic bacteria has been suggested as a partial replacement. this study was aimed to assess the antagonistic effects of lactobacillus standard strains against bacte...

The ability to adhere to intestinal epithelial tissue and mucosal surfaces is a key criterion in selecting probiotics. Adhesion is considered to be a prerequisite for successful colonization and survival in the gastrointestinal tract to provide persistent beneficial effects to the host. Bacteria express a multitude of surface components that mediate adherence. Pili or fimbriae are surface adhes...

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are a heterogeneous group of bacteria widely distributed in nature. These bacteria are found in gastrointestinal (GI) and urogenital tract of humans and animals; they are present on plant material, in milk and meat, and numerous fermented foods. Lactic acid bacteria have been associated with traditional dairy products, cereals, vegetable and meat fermented foods, due ...
