19Streptococcus thermophiluswith high exopolysaccharide production were isolated from traditional Chinese fermented dairy products. The exopolysaccharide and viscosity of milk fermented by these 19 isolates were assayed. The strains ofStreptococcus thermophiluszlw TM11 were selected because its fermented milk had the highest exopolysaccharide content (380 mg/L) and viscosity (7716 mpa/s). ThenStreptococcus thermophiluszlw TM11 was combined withLactobacillus delbrueckiisubsp.bulgaricus3 4.5 and the combination was named SH-1. The quality of the yogurt fermented by SH-1 and two commercial starter cultures (YO-MIX 465, YF-L711) were compared. It was shown that the exopolysaccharide content of yogurt fermented by SH-1 was similar to that of yogurt fermented by YF-L711 and significantly higher than YO-MIX 465 (p<0.05). In addition, the yogurt fermented by SH-1 had the lowest syneresis (8.5%) and better texture and sensory than the samples fermented by YO-MIX 465 and YF-L711. It manifested that the selected higher exopolysaccharide production starter SH-1 could be used as yogurt starter and reduce the amount of adding stabilizer, which can compare with the imported commercial starter culture.

In this study, the effects of kombucha inoculum as non-conventional starter culture on fatty acids composition of fermented milk, compared to a commercial probiotic (ABT-7) and yoghurt (YF-L812) starter cultures, during 21 days of storage was investigated. Fatty acids composition was determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry after the previous extraction of lipids and derivatization. The atherogenic (AI) and thrombogenic (TI) indices determined on the basis of fatty acids composition have been used for evaluation of the nutritive lipid quality of the fermented dairy products. The most significant levels of fatty acids in fermented milk products were palmitic, followed by oleic, stearic and myristic fatty acids. Fermented milk products were characterized by low atherogenic (2.14-2.39) and thrombogenic (2.91-3.18) indices, suggesting their consumption could have a favorable effect on human health. The AI and TI were comparable during the storage of fermented milk samples. Starter culture did not affect the health-related fatty acid composition of fermented milk products during storage.

Starter cultures are those microorganisms (bacteria, yeasts, and molds or their combinations) that initiate and carry out the desired fermentation essential in manufacturing cheese and fermented dairy products such as Dahi, Lassi, Yogurt, Sour cream, Kefir, and Koumiss amongst others. Starter culture is defined as “an active microbial preparation, deliberately added to initiate desirable changes during preparation of fermented products”. Starter cultures have a multifunctional role in dairy fermentations. The production of lactic acid by fermenting lactose is the major role of dairy starters. The acid is responsible for development of characteristic body and texture of the fermented milk products, contributes to the overall flavour of the products, and enhances preservation. Beyond the horizons of their conventional role in acid, flavour and texture development, they are being looked up on as burgeoning “cell factories” for production of host of functional biomolecules and food ingredients such as biothickeners, bacteriocins, vitamins, bioactive peptides and amino acids.

The Impact

Persistent organic pollutants, including polychlorinated biphenyls, may pose serious health hazard to consumers due to their lipophilic character as well as their high stability and toxicity. They are common in milk and also in dairy products. Therefore, to provide consumers with food of the lowest possible level of pollutants, it is important to estimate the influence of technological processes in milk and dairy products manufacture on changes in the contents of toxic PCB congeners. The PCB congeners content was determined using gas chromatography with mass spectrometry. Our study showed that yoghurt starter cultures turned out to be an effective tool in decreasing the toxicity equivalent of yoghurts. The presence of additional two starter cultures of bacteria Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium sp. In the A.B.T. bioyoghurt starter culture was most likely the reason of the highest efficiency of this culture to reduce the value of toxicity equivalent (TEQPCB) in bioyoghurts (reduction by nearly 50 %). However, none of the four tested starter cultures of yoghurts and bioyoghurts ensured complete biodegradation of any of the tested PCB congeners. These cultures contributed to a distinct reduction in contents of the PCB congeners in the finished products and, simultaneously, to a significant increase in PCB 28 and PCB 77, which may result from the degradation of more chlorinated congeners. In consequence it can improve the quality of fermented dairy products.

AbstractNovel functional food products might be an easy accessible and eligible approach to help reduce the risk of severe viral infections including SARS-CoV-2. Hence a product containing probiotics, propolis and cinnamon was developed and interferences of the ingredients were characterized. Yogurts were prepared using starter cultures with propolis (0.03%) and cinnamon in various concentrations (0.3%, 1%, and 2.5%). Bifidobacterium animalis ssp. lactis, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Streptococcus thermophilus, and Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus were used as microorganisms for yogurt production. Chemical analysis revealed a decline of fat matter in the presence of propolis and/or cinnamon. Propolis had statistically significant suppressive effects on Bifidobacterium animalis ssp. lactis as well as on Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus numbers (p < 0.05). These effects were diminished in the presence of increasing cinnamon concentrations. For Lactobacillus acidophilus a statistically significant reducing effect on the number of colonies was observed in all products investigated. Nevertheless all samples met the standard of recommended level of ≥ 106 viable cells/g of a product. Propolis showed an inverse effect on Streptococcus thermophilus by increasing its colony numbers in yogurts. The probiotic yogurt samples containing propolis (0.03%) and cinnamon (2.5%) gained the highest number of points in the sensory evaluation compared to control.

The variations of temperature during the cold chain can impair the quality of live foods, such as fermented milks. Probiotic bacteria are commonly added to food to provide the consumer with beneficial effects. Nevertheless, the concentration of probiotic in the end products should be elevated to ensure functionality. The aim of this study was to evaluate the viability of probiotic strains of bifidobacteria and starter strain of Streptococcus thermophilus in fermented milks at storage temperatures of 4 and 10ºC, for a period of 28 days. Commercial cultures ofBifidobacterium spp. were added to milk fermented byStreptococcus thermophillusand stored for 28 days at 4 and 10ºC. During this period, bifidobacteria and S. thermophilluscultures were monitored to check their behavior in the evaluated storage conditions. Viable bifidobacteria and S. thermophillus counts showed no significant variation during storage at 4 and 10ºC (p < 0.05), indicating that both of these conditions are adequate for maintaining their initial concentrations. The results indicate that the storage conditions usually adopted in sale establishments of dairy products are suitable to maintain bifidobacteria and S. thermophillus cultures in fermented milk.

The exopolysaccharides produced by the lactic acid bacteria confer the possibility to obtain fermented dairy products of good quality, with desirable rheological properties, and diverse benefits for health. The capacity of lactic acid bacteria to produce exopolysaccharides is influenced by culture media and the conditions of growth. The purpose of this work was to study the thermophile yogurt culture YF-L 811, which contains Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus. The study was based on the capacity of the culture to produce exopolysaccharides in different temperature conditions and with different ingredients added in culture media. The amount of exopolysaccharides was correlated to viscosity of the yogurt.

As a result of scientific and technological research, the ingredient composition and the feasibility of using complex bacterial starter cultures as part of fermented milk ice cream have been substantiated. The objects of the study were samples of mixtures for the production of fermented milk ice cream were considered, which included dairy and non-dairy components, including complex bacterial starter cultures: YF-L812 (Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus bulgaricus) - control sample and YO-PROX 777 (Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp.bulgaricus), as well as pectin stabilizers “Grindsted Pektin LC 710” and “Cremodan SE 334” with a concentration of 0.1-0.7%. It was found that a prototype sample with starter culture YO-PROX 777 has increased values of dynamic viscosity compared with the control sample with similar stabilizers and their identical concentrations, which is evidence of the accumulation of exopolysaccharides in the fermented fermented milk mixture. A prototype of fermented milk ice cream has better shape stability during temperature control, the thawing rate is reduced by 1.6 times compared to the control. The degree of overrun of the prototype fermented milk ice cream is 37.6%, which is 1.2 times higher compared to the control.

Fermented Dairy

Fermented dairy products are known for their high nutritional and therapeutic value and are also having excellent sensory characteristics, which make them popular throughout the world. Most of the characteristics of fermented products can be attributed to the activity of their starter culture. The starter microorganisms, in the course of their metabolism, elaborate various compounds and enzymes, which impart desirable properties to the product. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are the most common starter bacterial group used extensively in fermentation of dairy products. Lactic acid bacteria synthesize different compounds belonging to classes of organic acids, gases, bacteriocins, flavoring agents, biothickners, nutrients, etc. Molecules within each class vary for each species and even within strains. The functionalities from such novel starter cultures include improved nutritional value, sensory characteristics, and therapeutic benefits. These starter cultures are thus important for development of functional fermented and probiotic products. This chapter explores functional starter cultures for fermented dairy products.
