This review focuses on the biological properties and consequent technological roles of intestinal bacteria with potential health-promoting capacities, and provides selected examples available in the literature that are pertinent to the aforementioned concepts. A comprehensive overview pertaining to the taxonomy and ecology, as well as nutritional and health e€ects of Bi®dobacterium spp. and Lac...

Nineteen strains of Lactobacillus isolated from goat's milk from farms in north-west of Algeria were characterized. Isolates were identified by phenotypic, physiological and genotypic methods and some of their important technological properties were studied. Phenotypic characterization was carried out by studying physiological, morphological characteristics and carbohydrate fermentation pattern...

Growing expectations of consumers of fermented dairy products urge the search for novel solutions that would improve their organoleptic properties and in the case of rennet cheeses-that would also accelerate their ripening process. The aim of this study was to determine the peptidolytic activities and growth of heat-treated commercial culture of lactic acid bacteria. The analyzed culture was ch...

The survival of Listeria monocytogenes was evaluated on 15 ready-to-eat meat products made using drying, fermentation, and/or smoking. The products were obtained from six processors and included summer sausage, smoked cured beef, beef jerky, snack stick, and pork rind and crackling products. The water activity of the products ranged from 0.27 (pork rinds and cracklings) to 0.98 (smoked cured be...

background probiotics have been used for dairy products such as yogurt and yogurt drinks, however cholesterol content and lactose intolerance are important drawbacks. recently, consumption of non-dairy probiotic food especially for probiotic drink products has been intensified. objectives this research was conducted to determine the suitability of peach as a raw material for producing probiotic...

A new route of ethanol formation has recently been shown to exist in Leuconostoc mesenteroides (I). The evidence thus far available indicates that (a) glucose fermentation always yields 1 mole each of lactate, ethanol, and COZ, (b) aldolase and isomerase do not function in glucose fermentation by this organism, (c) the enzymes for the formation of D(-)-lactic acid from n-glyceraldehyde phosphat...

Chinese herbal medicines (CHM) have been used to cure diseases for thousands of years. However, the bioactive ingredients CHM are complex, and some natural products cannot be directly absorbed by humans animals. Moreover, contents most in low, toxic Fermentation could enhance bioactivities decrease potential toxicities. The compositions functions microorganisms play essential roles fermentation...

This study aimed to verify the in vitro ability of beer fermentation residue (BFR) containing Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells and five commercial products that differed in the viability and integrity of S. cerevisiae cells to remove aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) from a citrate-phosphate buffer solution (CPBS). BFR was collected at a microbrewery and prepared by drying and milling. The commercial yeast-bas...
