ABSTRACTThe aim of this research was to isolate and identify lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from pineapple waste. The survival in refrigerated pineapple juices, of a selected isolate with potential probiotic properties, was also studied. The 16S rRNA andpheSpartial genes were used to identify LAB, multilocus sequence typing (MLST) genes were used in order to separate strains grouping withLactobacillus caseiandL. paracaseiphylogenetically. Tests for survival at pH 2.0, resistance to lysozyme and tolerance to bile salts were used to screen the strains for potential probiotic properties. AL. fermentumisolate was used for the survival study. Three types of pineapple juice made from pulp, a blend of pulp and peel (80:20), and peel extract were inoculated to approximately 106CFU/mL withL. fermentumand stored at 4 °C for up to six weeks. The physicochemical composition of juices, including concentration of fermentable sugars and organic acids, total solids content, soluble solids content, titratable acidity and pH, was determined during the survival study. Two genera and five species were identified. Pineapple juices supported the survival ofL. fermentumduring refrigerated storage but the population of the bacteria decreased over time regardless of the juice type. Juice made from pulp was a more suitable vehicle for the survival of the selected LAB. Some of the juice physicochemical properties, including sugars and organic acids content, pH and titratable acidity, varied significantly (P<0.05) during storage. Further sensory studies are necessary to evaluate consumer acceptance of juices containing the selected isolate.IMPORTANCELactic acid bacteria (LAB), isolated from pineapple waste, were phylogenetically analyzed and characterized in regards to their tolerance to pH 2.0, lysozyme and bile salts; showing their potential as probiotic strains, if health benefits associated to their ingestion are eventually confirmed. Moreover, pineapple juice supported the survival ofLactobacillus fermentum, isolated from the same food matrix, during refrigerated storage at 4 °C. Among the three pineapple juices tested (pulp, pulp + peel and peel),L. fermentumsurvived better in juice made from pulp. However, significant variations were observed overtime in some of the physicochemical properties of the juices including sugars and organic acids content, pH and total titratable acidity.

Listeria monocytogenes can survive and grow in refrigerated foods with pH values of approximately 4.0 to 5.0 and salt concentrations of 3 to 4%. Home-fermented refrigerator dill pickles fit this description. Contamination of this product with L. monocytogenes could cause serious problems because these items are not heated prior to consumption. L. monocytogenes survival and growth patterns were investigated in refrigerator dill pickles at 1.3, 3.8, and 7.6% salt concentrations. Pickling cucumbers were dipped into an inoculum of L. monocytogenes, brine mixtures were added, and cucumbers were held at room temperature for 1 week and then refrigerated for up to 3 months. The pH, NaCl percentage, titratable acidity percentage, and total populations of Listeria and aerobic, psychrotrophic, and lactic acid bacteria were measured at the addition of brine, after 2, 4, and 7 days of storage at room temperature, and then weekly during refrigerated storage. The initial Listeria population was 5.4 to 5.6 log CFU/cm2 on cucumber surfaces and 3.9 to 4.6 log CFU/g internally. There was an approximate 0.3- to 1-log increase during room temperature fermentation followed by a population decline during refrigerator storage, with a greater decrease in the brines with the highest NaCl concentration. Up to 49 days, the internal tissue of pickles with 1.3, 3.8, or 7.6% salt concentrations were presumptively positive for L. monocytogenes by the enrichment method, and at 91 days the surfaces of such pickles were still positive for L. monocytogenes. Populations of total aerobes and lactic acid bacteria increased during room temperature storage and decreased gradually during refrigerated storage.

Background: Pullulan can partially or completely replace starch or fat, thanks to which it can be used for the production of dietetic food. It allows you to maintain the desired consistency, and increases the viscosity of the product. Objective: Therefore, an attempt was made to produce yogurts with pullulan addition and determine the effect of its presence on the number of LAB, pH change, titratable acidity, and sensory quality of yogurts during storage at 4°C for 28 days. Method: The effect of addition of 0; 1.0 and 2.0 % w/v pullulan as a yogurt ingredient on the changes in pH, acidity, LAB number, and sensory quality of yogurt during storage at 4°C for 28 days was examined. Results: Pullulan did not affect yogurt pH, but the addition of 2.0 % w/v pullulan increased the acidity of yogurt as compared to that of the control yogurt. A statistically significantly higher total number of Lactobacillus, by approximately 1 logarithmic cycle, was found in yogurts with pullulan than in the control yogurt on the 28th day of storage. The yogurt with 1.0% w/v pullulan addition showed better sensory characteristics than that with 2.0% pullulan w/v addition. Conclusion: The conducted research proved that the presence of pullulan in the culture medium stimulates the growth of selected lactic acid bacteria and influences their fermentation capacity. The use of 1.0 % w/v pullulan during the production of yogurts allowed to obtain a sensorically acceptable product, it had a protective effect on the number of lactic acid bacteria during 28 days of refrigerated storage of yogurt.

Global migration of populations leads to a widespread of national cuisines, which require adaptation to new consumers. In this regard, it is relevant to change traditional recipes and technologies. Here, we analyzed physical, chemical and organoleptic properties of the national Kyrgyz and Kazakh beverage Maksym. This beverage has a long history, unique properties, and at present is produced only by Shoro. Although being a Kyrgyz signature beverage, when not properly fomulated, it may cause acute intestinal infectious such as salmonellosis, dysentery, and typhoid fever. Our analysis showed that traditional beverage contains 0.9 g of protein, 4.38 g of carbohydrates, vitamins: B1 - 0.08mg%, B2 - 0.1mg%, PP - 0.4mg%, C - 0.59gr% with the useful-energy value of only 27 Kcal. This research analyzes variants of barms for the production of national Kyrgyz drink Maksym with different proportion of yeast and lactic-acid bacteria. Traditional Maksym composition and its production technology have been modified. For the produced drink, sediment content, titratable acidity, solids content, ethanol volume, nutritional and energy value, and organoleptic properties were tested.

The suitable properties of potential probiotic lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains (preselected among 153 strains on the basis of their potential technological properties) isolated from traditional Çubuk pickles were examinedin vitro. For this purpose, these strains (21Lactobacillus plantarum, 11Pediococcus ethanolidurans,and 7Lactobacillus brevis) were tested for the ability to survive at pH 2.5, resistance to bile salts, viability in the presence of pepsin-pancreatin, ability to deconjugate bile salts, cholesterol assimilation, and surface hydrophobicity properties. Most of the properties tested could be assumed to be strain-dependent. However,L. plantarumandL. brevisspecies were found to possess desirable probiotic properties to a greater extent compared toP. ethanolidurans. In contrast toP. ethanoliduransstrains, the testedL. plantarumandL. brevisstrains exhibited bile salt tolerance, albeit to different extent. All tested strains showed less resistance to intestinal conditions than gastric juice environment. Based on the survival under gastrointestinal conditions, 22 of the 39 strains were selected for further characterization. The eight strains having the highest cholesterol assimilation and surface hydrophobicity ratios could be taken as promising probiotic candidates for furtherin vivostudies, because of the strongest variations found among the tested strains with regard to these properties.

On the frame of this research survey, a novel potentially probiotic strain (Lactobacillus paracasei SP5) recently isolated from kefir grains was evaluated for chokeberry juice fermentation. Chokeberry juice was retrieved from the variety Aronia melanocarpa, a plant known to provide small, dark berries and to be one of the richest sources of antioxidants. The juice was subsequently fermented inoculating L. paracasei SP5 for 48 h at 30 °C. The fermented juices were left at 4 °C and tested regarding microbiological and physicochemical characteristics for 4 weeks. The potentially probiotic strain was proved capable of performing lactic acid fermentation at 30 °C. Cell viability of L. paracasei was detected in high levels during fermentation and the whole storage period, while the fermented juice showed higher levels of viability in juice with 40.3 g/L of initial sugar concentration. No ethanol was detected in the final fermented juice. Fermented chokeberry juice was characterized by aromatic desirable volatiles, which were retained in adequate levels for the whole storage period. Specifically, the occurrence of organic esters detected in fermented juices is considered as positive evidence of the provision of fruity and floral notes to the final product. During storage, total phenolics content and antioxidant activity were observed in higher levels in fermented chokeberry juice compared with non-fermented juice. Subsequently, fermentation of chokeberry juice by potentially probiotic lactic acid bacteria could provide high industrialization potential, providing the market with a nutritional beverage of good volatile quality with an enhanced shelf-life compared with an unfermented fresh juice.

Tabah bamboo shoot pickle is one of the fermented food which is the source of lactic acid bacteria.  Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) is beneficial to health because it has the ability as a probiotic. Lactic acid bacteria that have probiotic criteria should have resistance to low pH and bile salts. This study aims to determine isolates of lactic acid bacteria isolated from tabah bamboo shoot pickle resistant to low pH and bile salts (NaDC). Lactic acid bacteria were tested to low pH by using MRS broth that have different pH (pH 2, pH 3, pH 4 and pH 6.2 as a control) incubated at 37ºC for 3 hours. isolates were survive in low pH then continued in bile salt resistance test with 0.3% bile salt concentration for 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 60 minutes and 24 hours. The results showed that three isolates out of 88 isolates had ability to grow in low pH and in medium supplemented by NaDC 0,3%. The isolates are AR 3057, AR 3101 and AR 6152 which can be used as candidat of  probiotic. Keywords : Tabah bamboo shoot pickle, lactic acid bacteria, probiotic, low pH, bile salt

Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate the microbiological (number of viable lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria), physicochemical (dry matter, protein and fat contents, titratable acidity, and pH), and sensory characteristics (appearance of coagulum, taste and aroma, structure at cutting, color, and consistency at shattering) of probiotic Bulgarian yoghurts obtained by ultrafiltration of goat’s milk. These yoghurts were obtained using volume reduction ratios of 2 and 3 with the probiotic starters MZ2f, MZ2f + Bifidobacterium bifidum BB – 87, and MZ2f + Lactobacillus acidophilus LAB – 8. The increase in the level of the concentration by ultrafiltration led to an increase in the dry matter, protein and fat contents of the yoghurts, in the number of lactic acid bacteria and titratable acidity, and to a decrease in the pH. The twofold concentration by ultrafiltration resulted in a higher number of lactic acid bacteria in comparison with yoghurts made without ultrafiltration, and with better sensory characteristics compared to yoghurts without and with threefold ultrafiltration. The higher number of viable cells and better sensory characteristics were obtained for yoghurts with MZ2f + Bifidobacterium bifidum BB – 87 and MZ2f + Lactobacillus acidophilus LAB – 8 in comparison with MZ2f alone.
