LacVc
acid
bacteria
(LAB)
may
be
used
as
bioprotecVve
agent.
Some
strains
of
LAB
may
increase
the
safety
and
quality
of
fermented
products
due
to
the
producVon
of
different
anVmicrobial
compounds,
which
can
prevent
the
growth
of
pathogenic
and
spoilage
bacteria.
In
this
work,
indigenous
LAB
strains
were
isolated
from
fermented
foods
without
the
addiVon
of
starter
cultures
(goat
cheese,
sausage
and
“Chicha”
beverage)
and
non-‐fermented
foods
(llama
meat,
goat
milk
and
several
vegetables),
all
arVsans
producing
in
Quebrada
de
Humahuaca,
ArgenVna.
All
strains
were
propagated
in
MRS
broth
and
cell-‐free
supernatants
were
separated
for
parVal
characterizaVon.
Those
supernatants
were
tested
concerning
their
anVbacterial
acVvity
by
a
well-‐
diffusion
assay
against
bacterial
pathogens
associated
with
food.
Proteic
nature
of
inhibitory
substances
was
analysed
by
the
acVon
of
digesVve
enzymes
and
the
stability
at
different
temperatures
and
pH.
Strains
revealing
anVbacterial
acVvity
were
idenVfied
by
16S
rRNA
gene
sequencing
analysis.
One
hundred
seventy
six
(176)
colonies
Gram
(+)
and
catalase
(-‐)
were
isolated;
60
showed
anVbacterial
acVvity
against
Listeria
monocytogenes,
Listeria
innocua
and/or
Enterococcus
faecalis.
The
strains
with
anVbacterial
acVvity
could
group
in
four
genders:
Pediococcus,
Enterococcus,
Lactobacillus
and
Leuconostoc.
AnVmicrobial
substances
produced
by
Pediococcus
acidilac7ci
showed
greater
stability
to
sterilizing
temperatures
and
wide
pH
range
(2
to
10).
When
bacteriocin
was
incubated
with
proteinase
K
and
chymotrypsin,
the
extract
lost
inhibitory
acVvity.
Llama
meat
and
pre-‐cooked
andean
potatoes
were
co-‐inoculated
with
107
cfu/g
and
104
cfu/g
of
Pediococcus
acidilac7ci
and
L.
innocua,
respecVvely
and
store
to
12
°C,
7
days,
a
reducVon
in
total
mesophylic
and
L.
innocua
(1
logarithmic
cycle)
were
observed.
This
results
show
that
the
use
of
P.
acidilac7ci
as
biopreservante
in
food
could
be
possible.

LacVc
acid
bacteria
play
an
essenVal
role
in
fermented
sausage
processing.
The
objecVve
of
this
work
was
to
study
the
hygienic
properVes
(acidifying
capacity,
synthesis
of
biogenic
amines
and
anVmicrobial
substance
producVon)
of
170
lactobacilli
strains
isolated
from
spontaneously
fermented
sausages
elaborated
with
different
proporVons
of
goat
meat.
The
strains
were
isolated
and
idenVfied
by
phenotypic
tests
as
L.
curvatus
(28%),
L.
sakei
(24%),
L.
alimentarius
(13.33%),
L.
casei
subsp.
tolerans
(9.33%),
L.
plantarum
(8.66%),
L.
brevis
(6%),
L.
casei
subsp.
rhamnosus
(5.33%)
and
L.
farciminis
(5.33%).
Even
if
none
of
the
lactobacilli
strains
were
found
to
produce
bacteriocin
when
tested
against
Listeria
inocua,
a
high
acidifying
capacity
in
sarcoplasmic
juice
(24
h,
30°C)
was
observed
in
L.
plantarum
(pH
3,86±
0.03)
and
L.
curvatus
(pH
3,93±0,02)
strains
while
only
the
19%
of
the
L.
sakei
(pH
3,89±0,05)
strains
showed
a
good
acidogenic
potenVal.
These
three
species
exhibited
the
greatest
viability
in
the
sarcoplasmic
juice
(around
8
Log
CFU/ml
at
24
h).
The
absence
of
lysine-‐,
tyrosine-‐
and
hisVdine-‐descarboxylase
acVvity
was
detected
indicaVng
no
biogenic
amine
producVon.
The
suitable
combinaVon
of
the
most
efficient
strains
in
the
formulaVon
of
a
starter
culture
could
contribute
to
assure
the
homogeneity
and
the

Lactobacillus
plantarum
has
been
described
as
one
of
the
LAB
species
responsible
for
malolacVc
fermentaVon
in
winemaking.
Due
the
stress
factors
present
in
wine
(low
pH,
high
ethanol
concentraVon,
etc.),
starter
cultures
shall
be
previously
acclimated.
The
aim
of
this
work
was
to
evaluate
the
effect
of
acclimaVon
on
the
viability,
membrane
integrity
and
technological
properVes
of
three
oenological
strains
of
Lb.
plantarum
exposed
to
wine
condiVons.
Cultures
in
the
exponenVal
phase
were
inoculated
in
an
acclimaVon
medium
containing
0,
6
and
10%
v/v
ethanol
and
incubated
48
h
at
28
°C.
Ayer
incubaVon,
cells
were
harvested
by
centrifugaVon
and
inoculated
in
a
syntheVc
wine,
containing
14%
v/v
ethanol
and
pH
3.5.
The
membrane
integrity
and
viability
were
measured
by
flow
cytometry
using
two
fluorescent
dyes:
propidium
iodide
(PI)
and
carboxyfluorescein
diacetate
(cFDA).
Strains
previously
acclimated
were
inoculated
in
syntheVc
wine
and
incubated
at
28
ºC
without
shaking.
CulVvability
and
L-‐malic
acid
consumpVon
were
monitored
during
15
days.
In
non-‐acclimated
strains,
the
damage
of
bacterial
membranes
produced
a
rapid
increase
of
PI
uptake.
At
the
same
Vme,
a
noVceable
decrease
of
microbial
viability
was
observed.
AcclimaVon
in
both
6%
and
10%
v/v
ethanol,
noVceable
increased
the
microbial
viability
of
all
strains
in
syntheVc
wine,
and
contributed
to
maintain
the
membrane
integrity.
The
evoluVon
of
viability
and
malolacVc
fermentaVon
of
acclimated
strains,
grown
15
days
in
syntheVc
wine,
showed
the
high
effecVveness
of
pre-‐acclimaVon
at
10%
v/v
ethanol.
AcclimaVon
of
oenological
strains
in
media
containing
ethanol
prior
to
inoculaVon
of
wines
significantly
improves
the
viability
and
decreases
the
membrane
damage
in
the
harsh
wine
condiVons.
These
results
represent
a
contribuVon
for
the
development
of
LAB
starter
cultures
for
winery.
Among
bioacVve
compounds,
there
are
different
conjugated
fa|y
acids
with
beneficial
health
properVes
for
humans.
Conjugated
linoleic
(CLA)
and
linolenic
acid
(CLNA)
are
the
most
important
ones
in
this
group,
being
posiVonal
and
geometric
isomers
of
linoleic
(LA)
and
linolenic
acid
(LNA),
respecVvely.
Many
biological
effects
have
been
a|ributed
to
them,
including
anVcarcinogenic
acVvity.
CLA
has
also
properVes
as
anV-‐obesity
and
immunomodulatory
compound,
but
CLNA
isomers
are
most
effecVve
against
cancer.
Milk
and
meat
of
ruminants
are
the
main
source
of
these
biolipids
for
humans.
Many
bacteria
are
able
to
form
different
conjugated
fa|y
acids,
included
lacVc
acid
bacteria,
propionibacteria
and
bifidobacteria.
This
bioprocess
allows
the
use
of
microorganisms
as
adjunct
culture
to
increase
the
level
of
CLA
and
CLNA
in
fermented
products
or
as
probioVc
strains
for
bioproducVon
at
intesVnal
level.
The
aim
of
this
work
was
to
determine
CLA
and
CLNA
producVon
in
four
Bifidobacterium
strains
isolated
from
human
breast
milk
(at
the
INLAIN).
Strains
were
cultured
in
MRS-‐cys,
supplemented
with
LA
or
LNA
for
48
h
at
37ºC
under
anaerobic
condiVons.
Total
conjugated
fa|y
acid
levels
were
first
determined
by
UV
method
(233
nm),
ayer
which
possiVve
strains
were
evaluated
by
gaseous
chromatography.
Results
showed
that
strains
were
able
to
form
CLA
or
CLNA
in
MRS-‐cys
broth,
having
percentages
of
conversion
from
1
%
to
14%
for
CLA,
and
1%
to
65%
for
CLNA.
The
highest
CLNA
producVon
was
determined
in
Bifidobacterium
animalis
subsp.
lac7s
INL2,
selected
for
further
studies.
In
this
strain,
LNA
was
mainly
converted
to
the
c9,t,11,c12
isomer.
Increasing
substrate
concentraVons
were
added
to
the
broth
(200
to
1000
µg/mL)
to
evaluate
tolerance.
No
signifficant
inhibitory
effect
of
LA
or
LNA
on
bacterial
growth
was
observed
during
48
h
compared
to
control
(without
fa|y
acid
addiVon).
According
to
results,
500
µg/mL
of
substrate
was
selected
for
further
assays.
Regarding
Vme
of
conjugated
fa|y
acids
producVon,
CLA/CLNA
begins
ayer
8-‐12
h
of
incubaVon.
This
study
demonstrates
that
bifidobacteria
are
good
producers
of
conjugated
bioacVve
lipid
in
vitro.
Bacteria
conjugated
LNA
more
efficiently
than
LA.
As
far
as
we
are
concerned,
this
study
informed
for
the
first
Vme
CLNA
producVon
by
strains
in
our
country.
Since
CLNA
has
higher
effect
on
cancer
prevenVon
than
CLA,
the
use
of
these
bacteria
able
to
produce
it
could
be
an
advance
to
develop
funcVonal
products
enriched
in
CLNA.
For
this
purpose,
bacteria
must
be
carefully
selected
taking
into
account
the
opVmal
condiVons
for
the
biolipid
producVon.
LepVn,
a
pleiotropic
hormone
mainly
produced
by
the
adipose
Vssue,
regulates
mulVple
homeostaVc
funcVons
such
as
food
intake,
reproducVve
and
immune
funcVons,
besides
basal
metabolism.
The
objecVve
of
this
study
was
to
evaluate
the
influence
of
different
lacVc
acid
bacteria
(LAB)
on
lepVn
and
cytokine
secreVon
by
murine
adipocyte
cells.
These
parameters
and
the
Obr-‐
lepVn
receptor
expression
were
also
evaluated
in
co-‐cultures
of
adipocytes
and
macrophage
cells
in
order
to
select
a
microorganism
with
low
pro-‐inflammatory
potenVal,
able
to
posiVvely
and
negaVvely
modulate
lepVn
secreVon.
Bacterial
cell
suspensions
of
14
LAB
strains
were
used
(Lactobacillus

The
influence
of
different
LAB
on
immunological
properVes
(cytokine)
and
Obr
receptor
expression
in
RAW
264.7
macrophage
cell
line
was
evaluated.
These
macrophages
were
sVmulated
with
bacterial
cell
suspensions
(1x107
UFC/mL)
at
37°C
under
5%
CO2
for
24
h.
Adipocytes
isolated
from
Balb/c
mice
were
sVmulated
with
LAB
suspensions
(1x107
UFC/mL)
under
the
same
condiVons,
and
adipokines
levels
were
determined.
For
co-‐culture
experiments,
adipocytes
were
cultured
with
Raw
264.7
macrophage
cells
(5x104
cels/mL,
1:1).
LepVn,
TNF-‐α,
IL-‐6,
IL-‐10
and
MCP-‐1
levels
were
determined
in
the
culture
supernatants
by
ELISA
test.
The
principal
component
analysis
(PCA)
allow
the
classificaVon
into
three
disVncVve
groups
of
LAB
according
to
their
ability
to
modulate
both
lepVn
and
lepVn
receptor
expression,
and
inflammatory
profile.
We
selected
one
strain
from
each
group
in
order
to
perform
further
studies:
1)
Lactobacillus
casei
CRL431
(low
lepVn
levels,
medium
inflammatory
profile
and
ObR
expression),
Lactobacillus
fermentum
CRL1446
(medium
lepVn
levels,
low
inflammatory
profile
and
ObR
expression)
and
Lactococcus
lac7s
CRL1434
(high
lepVn
levels,
medium-‐high
inflammatory
profile
and
high
ObR
expression).
Our
results
suggested
that
different
strains
may
have
different
funcVonal
roles
and
applicaVons
in
diverse
pathologies.
Therefore,
modulaVon
of
circulaVng
lepVn
levels
may
be
considered
as
a
promising
novel
strategy
to
intervene
on
different
nutriVonal
condiVons
(obesity
and
undernutriVon).

Phaseolus
vulgaris
is
a
valuable
source
of
phenolic
compounds
and
precursor
proteins
of
bioacVve
pepVdes
exhibiVng
several
bioacVviVes.
FermentaVon
has
been
used
as
a
cost-‐effecVve
process
for
biopepVdes
release,
γ-‐aminobutyric
acid
(GABA)
producVon
and
bioconversion
of
phenolic
compounds
which
ulVmately
lead
to
enhancements
of
their
bioacVvity.
Therefore,
there
is
an
increased
interest
in
the
applicaVon
of
fermentaVon
for
producVon
of
bioacVve
compounds.
The
objecVve
was
to
produce
bioacVve
compounds
with
anVoxidant
and
potenVal
anVhypertensive
acVviVes
by
liquid
(LSF)
and
solid
state
fermentaVon
(SSF)
of
kidney
beans
(P.
vulgaris
var.
pinto).
LSF
of
bean
flour
was
performed
either
naturally
(NF)
or
induced
by
Lactobacillus
plantarum
(LP).
SSF
of
cracked
seeds
was
carried
out
by
Bacillus
sub7lis
(BS).
Soluble
fracVons
were
used
to
analyse
free-‐amino
groups
(by
TNBS
method),
GABA
(by
HPLC),
anVoxidant
acVvity
(by
ORAC-‐FL),
total
phenolic
compounds
(TPC,
by
the
Folin
Ciocalteu
method)
and
angiotensin
I-‐converVng
enzyme
inhibiVon
(by
fluorescence).
In
addiVon,
selecVve
and
differenVal
agarized
media
were
used
for
specific
microbiological
counts
(Log
CFU/ml).
LSF
of
kidney
bean
for
48
h
(both
NF
and
LP)
led
to
an
extended
protein
hydrolysis
and
higher
(P<0.05)
GABA
content,
anVoxidant
and
ACE
inhibitory
acVvity
(>93%
inhibiVon).
In
contrast,
no
significant
differences
for
TPC
were
found.
SSF
for
48h
and
96h
gave
rise
to
water-‐soluble
fracVons
with
higher
TPC
that
was
accompanied
with
a
noVceable
increase
in
anVoxidant
acVvity.
Unlike
LSF,
protein
hydrolysis
was
observed
ayer
48
h
of
SSF.
In
addiVon,
kidney
bean
fermented
by
B.
sub7lis
for
48
and
96
h
brought
about
lower
(P<0.05)
GABA
content
and
ACE
inhibitory
acVvity
(33%
inhibiVon).
Indigenous
lacVc
acid
flora
in
NF
adapted
well
to
fermentaVve
condiVons
since
viability
increased
8.8
log
units
up
to
48
h
and
remained
unchanged
thereayer.
In
LP,
L.
plantarum
grew
2
log
units
from
the
beginning,
reached
the
maximum
ayer
48
h
to
9.15
log
CFU/ml,
and
a
viability
of
5.85
log
CFU/ml
ayer
96
h
was
found.
It
is
worth
to
noVce
that
contaminant
flora
(enterobacteria,
moulds
and
yeast)
was
detected
at
low
but
detectable
levels
along
all
NF
process,
while
it
disappeared
ayer
48h
in
LP.
Differences
could
be
due
to
the
different
acidifying
acVvity
of
L.
plantarum
against
the
natural
microbiota,
as
it
was
observed
in
the
found
pH
ayer
48
and
96h.
In
SSF,
B.
sub7lis
counts
increases
3
log
units
from
an
inoculum
of
5.5
log
CFU/g,

Folates
play
a
key
role
in
many
metabolic
pathways
such
as
DNA
and
RNA
synthesis.
Folate
deficiency
is
very
frequent,
reason
for
which
many
countries
have
adopted
mandatory
forVficaVon
programs;
however,
high
intakes
of
folic
acid
(the
syntheVc
form
of
folate
used
in
forVficaVon)
can
mask
vitamin
B12
deficiency,
and
alter
the
acVvity
of
the
hepaVc
dihydrofolate
reductase
enzyme.
These
adverse
health
effects
do
not
occurs
with
natural
folates.
In
this
study,
the
folate
producVon
by
Streptococcus
thermophilus
CRL803
in
low-‐folate
culture
medium
was
invesVgated
during
batch
fermentaVons
with
uncontrolled
pH
and
constant
pH
(6.0
and
5.0).
This
medium
was
based
in
LAPTg
culture
medium
without
yeast
extract
(the
main
source
of
folate).
The
temperature
was
maintained
at
37ºC
and
the
pH
was
kept
automaVcally
at
6.0
and
5.0
with
3
M
NaOH.
Samples
were
asepVcally
withdrawn
at
0,
2,
4,
6,
8,
10,
12
and
24
h
of
incubaVon
from
the
fermentaVon
vessel
and
immediately
cooled
on
ice
to
determine
folate
producVon
(µg/L)
and
cell
viability
(log
cfu/mL).
Folate
levels
were
esVmated
by
the
microbiological
assay
using
Lactobacillus
rhamnosus
NCIMB
10463
as
the
indicator
strain.
The
results
showed
that
folate
producVon
and
yields
were
higher
under
constant
pH
condiVon
compared
to
fermentaVons
at
free
pH.
The
highest
folate
producVon
was
reached
at
8
h
of
incubaVon
at
pH
6.0
(168.4±7.3
µg/L)
compared
to
pH
5.0
(35.1±3.6
µg/L)
or
even
at
uncontrolled
pH
condiVons
(84.9±2.7
µg/L).
Also,
at
pH
6.0,
the
highest
values
of
viability
were
observed,
being
19
Vmes
higher
(log
cfu/mL
8.8±0.1)
than
at
pH
5.0
(log
cfu/mL
6.2±0.2)
or
at
uncontrolled
pH
(log
cfu/mL
7.9±0.1).
In
conclusion,
Streptococcus
thermophilus
CRL803
grown
at
pH
6.0
was
able
to
increase
about
167%
the
folate
levels,
being
a
promising
low
cost
strategy
for
the
obtaining
bioforVfied
products
without
the
need
to
add
costly
addiVves.
The
pseudocereals
quinoa
(Chenopodium
quinoa)
and
amaranth
(sp.)
are
ancient
Andean
crops
with
high
nutriVonal
value
because
they
contain
elevated
concentraVons
of
proteins,
and
different
levels
of
vitamins
and
minerals,
in
addiVon
to
other
beneficial
compounds
such
as
polyphenols,
phytosterols
and
flavonoids.
However,
many
of
these
compounds
are
altered
or
removed
during
milling,
processing
or
cooking.
LacVc
acid
bacteria
(LAB)
are
widely
used
as
starter
cultures
for
the
fermentaVon
of
different
foods,
thus
improving
the
nutriVonal
value,
organolepVc
characterisVcs,
self-‐
life
and
overall
quality
of
fermented
products.
LAB
are
usually
auxotrophic
for
several
vitamins
although
some
strains
have
the
ability
to
synthesize
B
vitamins,
suggesVng
that
the
use
of
adequately
selected
strains
could
increase
the
concentraVon
of
these
vitamins
in
fermented
foods
and
their
nutriVonal
value.
In
previous
work,
LAB
were
isolated
from
spontaneously
fermented
dough
prepared
with
quinoa
and
amaranth
flours
from
different
sources
of
Northwestern
ArgenVna
(NOA).
LAB
were
idenVfied
by
biochemical
and
molecular
methods.
The
aim
of
this
study
was
to
evaluate
the
producVon
of
B
vitamins,
folate
(B9)
and
riboflavin
(B2),
by
LAB
isolated
from
quinoa
and
amaranth
flour.
Thirty-‐five
strains
belonging
to
the
species
Lactobacillus
(L.)
pentosus,
L.
rhamnosus,
L.
sakei
and
L.
plantarum
were
evaluated.
LAB
were
inoculated
into
a
syntheVc
medium
free
of
vitamin
B2
or
B9
and
incubated
at
37°
C
for
16
h.
Intra-‐,
extracellular
and
total
concentraVons
of
B2
and
B9
were
determined
using
a
microbiological
method
with
L.
rhamnosus
ATCC
7469
and
L.
rhamnosus
NCIMB
10463
as
the
indicator
strains.
Of
the
total
tested
strains,
33
grew
on
the
B2
free
medium.
L.
rhamnosus
(5
strains)
produced
high
levels
of
this
vitamin
(>
260
ng
/
ml),
whereas
L.
pentosus
produced
the
highest
concentraVon
of
intracellular
B2
(31.8
±
0.1
ng
/
ml),
and
L.
rhamnosus
the
highest
concentraVon
of
extracellular
B2
(364
±
0.1
ng/ml).
All
isolated
strains
(35)
grew
in
syntheVc
medium
without
B9.
The
total
concentraVon
of
this
vitamin
was
determined
in
a
range
between
16
and
76
ng
/
ml.
L.
pentosus
produced
the
highest
concentraVon
of
extracellular
(49.84
±
0.1
ng
/
ml)
and
L
rhamnosus
the
highest
concentraVon
of
intracellular
B9
(30.08
±
0.1
ng
/
ml).
The
results
obtained
put
in
evidence
that
naVve
LAB
isolated
from
quinoa
and
amaranth
from
NOA,
produce
significant
levels
of
vitamin
B2
and
B9,
indicaVng
their
potenVal
to
be
included
as

The
introducVon
of
starter
cultures
designed
using
autochthonous
microflora
can
enhance
safety
of
fermented
meat
products
while
preserving
their
sensory
qualiVes.
The
selecVon
of
potenVal
starter
strains
is
based
on
their
technological
and
safety
characterisVcs.
Each
of
the
strains
of
a
mixed
culture
meant
to
be
added
to
a
meat
product
should
be
compaVble.
A
first
approach
to
this
situaVon
can
be
simulated
in
model
systems
where
assessments
compiled
in
vitro
can
be
checked.
Hence,
the
aim
of
this
study
was
to
evaluate
the
behavior
of
pre-‐selected
autochthonous
strains,
as
mixed
cultures,
in
meat
model
systems.
From
a
compaVbility
trial,
carried
out
by
means
of
the
agar
well
diffusion
method,
comprising
seven
strains
of
Lactobacillus
sakei
and
three
strains
of
coagulase
negaVve
cocci
(CNC)
(Staphylococcus
vitulus
and
two
S.
xylosus
strains),
two
pairs
of
strains
were
selected.
Culture
A:
L.
sakei
487
and
S.
vitulinus;
culture
B:
L.sakei
442
and
S
xylosus
C8.
The
meat
model
contained:
minced
beef
and
pork
meat
(70:30),
NaCl,
milk
powder,
sugar,
spices
and
KNO3.
The
ingredients
were
thoroughly
mixed
and
placed
in
a
beaker.
The
meat
matrix
was
separated
into
three
batches,
which
were
then
subdivided
into
six
batches
to
create
the
corresponding
duplicates.
Batches
A
and
B
corresponded
to
the
aforemenVoned
mixed
cultures
and
the
third
one
corresponded
to
the
control
system,
with
the
addiVon
of
sodium
azide
and
no
added
cultures.
The
batches
were
incubated
at
20°C
and
samples
were
withdrawn
at
the
beginning
of
the
trial,
one
and
seven
days
ayer
inoculaVon.
Microbial
counts
were
assessed
on
MRS
agar
and
mannitol
salt
agar
(AMS).
Total
protein
content
on
sarcoplasmic
fracVon
was
determined
by
means
of
the
bicinchoninic
acid
method
and
free
aminoacid
concentraVon
was
determined
by
the
OPA
method.
pH
measurements
were
also
registered.
Both
mixed
cultures
adapted
well
to
the
meat
environment;
LAB
final
counts
reached
values
of
8.6
and
8.8
log
colony
forming
units
per
gram
(cfu/g)
and
CNC
final
counts
were
7.4
and
8.3
log
(cfu/g)
in
batch
A
and
B,
respecVvely.
Regarding
pH
values,
they
diminished
from
5.54
(iniVal
Vme)
to
4.66
(A)
and
4.68
(B)
at
the
end
of
the
trial,
while
the
control
system
did
not
show
pH
variaVons.
Final
pH
values
from
both
batches
are
similar
to
those
found
in
local
dry
sausages
at
the
end
of
the
ripening
stage.
Total
protein
content
reducVon
was
16%
(control),
77.9%
(A)
and
78.4%
(B)
indicaVng
a
strong
metabolic
acVvity
of
both
mixed
cultures.
Besides,
the
release
of
soluble
aminoacids
started
being
0.98
mMl,
showed
a
peak
of
3.11
mM
(A)
and
2.43
mM
(B)
at
24
h,
followed
by
a
reducVon
(1.99
mM)
in
both
batches.
Protein
fracVon
released
at
24

may
have
contributed
to
aminoacid
supply
for
bacterial
growth.
The
acidogenic
capacity

Soymilk,
the
water
extract
of
soybean,
is
a
rich
source
of
high
quality
proteins,
amino
acids,
unsaturated
fa|y
acids
and
isoflavones.
Soymilk
contains
sucrose
as
the
main
carbohydrate
source,
which
makes
it
a
good
alternaVve
from
milk
for
lactose-‐intolerant
people.
However,
soymilk
contains
low
concentraVons
of
B-‐group
vitamins
such
as
riboflavin.
Riboflavin
(vitamin
B2)
is
important
water-‐soluble
vitamin
available
only
through
food
intake,
because
humans
lack
the
ability
to
synthesize
it.
Vitamin
B2
is
the
precursor
of
two
co-‐enzymes:
flavin
mononucleoVde
(FAD)
and
flavin
adenin
dinucleoVde
(FMN)
that
regulate
the
acVvity
of
many
different
metabolic
enzymes
of
the
redox
pathways
associated
with
energy
producVon.
Although
riboflavin
is
found
in
a
wide
variety
of
foods,
subclinical
deficiency
of
riboflavin
is
common
in
many
parts
of
the
world,
even
in
highly
industrialized
countries.
Some
lacVc
acid
bacteria
(LAB)
have
ability
to
produce
riboflavin
but
it
producVon
depends
on
the
strain
used
and
the
culture
condiVons.
The
ability
of
riboflavin
producVon
by
180
strains
of
LAB,
belonging
to
CERELA
culture
collecVon,
was
evaluated
using
a
commercial
riboflavin-‐free
growth
medium.
Only
43
strains
were
able
to
grow
in
this
broth
without
the
exogenous
addiVon
of
riboflavin,
and
the
vitamin
producVon
was
evaluated
by
a
microbiological
method
using
Lactobacillus
(L.)
rhamnosus
ATCC7469
as
the
indicator
strain.
L.
plantarum
CRL
725
was
able
to
grow
and
increase
2.3
Vmes
the
riboflavin
concentraVon
in
soymilk
(300ng/ml).
In
this
study,
the
influence
of
controlled
and
uncontrolled
pH
condiVons
on
riboflavin
producVon
by
L.
plantarum
CRL
725
during
soymilk
fermentaVon
was
evaluated.
The
highest
riboflavin
producVon
(900ngB2/mL)
was
achieved
ayer
8
h
of
incubaVon
under
controlled
pH
(pH
6.0)
whereas
lower
values
were
obtained
during
fermentaVon
both
at
controlled
pH
of
5.0
or
uncontrolled
pH.
These
results
showed
that
the
ability
of
L.
plantarum
CRL
725
to
produce
riboflavin
in
soymilk
is
influenced
by
the
environmental
pH
condiVons.
This
strain
could
be
used
to
obtain
soy
foods
enriched
in
riboflavin,
taking
into
account
the
growth
condiVons
of
this
substrate.

The
lacVc
acid
bacteria
(LB)
are
subject
to
constant
scienVfic
studies
in
the
field
of
biotechnology.
The
use
of
LB
as
probioVc
cultures
has
grown
significantly
in
last
years.
The
incorporaVon
of
the
probioVc
cultures
more
adapted
to
the
new
technological
processes
is
a
requirement
for
their
use
in
the
modern
food
industry.
While
the
fermented
foods
containing
probioVcs
LB
are
generally
associated
with
milk
based
products
that
require
cold
chain
for
storage,
the
need
to
expand
the
use
of
probioVc
strains
in
foods
not
requiring
refrigeraVon
for
storage
is
a
valuable
contribuVon
for
the
industry.
The
objecVve
of
this
work
was
to
develop
new
strategies
of
conservaVon
at
room
temperature
of
probioVc
strains
previously
selected
(Lactobacillus
(L.)
casei
CRL
731
and
L.
reuteri
CRL
1098).
In
this
context,
the
formulaVon
of
an
economic
culture
media
for
the
development
of
probioVc
strains;
the
evaluaVon
of
different
lyophilizaVon
substrates
and
the
study
of
storage
condiVons
without
using
cold
chain
considering
Vme/temperature
and
cell
viability
variables
were
carried
out.
Biomass
producVon
was
carried
out
with
two
defined
experimental
media
(M1
and
M2
for
L.
reuteri
CRL
1098
and
L.
casei
CRL
731,
respecVvely)
under
controlled
condiVons
(temperature
and
pH
constants).
LyophilizaVon
process
was
standardized
evaluaVng
different
substrates:
powdered
skim
milk
(10
and
20%)
and
two
type
of
soy
flour-‐based
beverage
(A
and
B)
to
10%;
in
all
cases,
the
monosodium
glutamate
5%
(w/v)
was
used
as
lyoprotector.
For
conservaVon
studies,
lyophilized
microorganisms
were
packed
in
bi-‐laminated
polyester
metallic
containers
with
polyethylene,
vacuum
sealed
and
stored
at
22
±
2ºC
during
5
months.
Cell
viability
was
determined
by
cell
plate
count
using
specific
culture
medium
for
each
strain.
The
best
results
in
terms
of
low
cost
biomass
recovering
were
obtained
with
the
medium
containing
glucose
as
a
carbon
source,
manganese
sulfate
as
essenVal
salt
and
yeast
extract,
trypVcase
and
meat
peptone
as
nitrogen
source.
With
respect
to
the
studies
of
different
lyophilizaVon
supports,
20%
and
10%
skim
milk
powder
and
soy
beverage
B
(flavored
soy
meal)
showed
the
best
results.
L.

CRL
1098
retained
viability
during
more
than
2
months,
yielding
107
CFU/g
ayer
42
days
of
storage
when
milk
at
20%
was
used
as
lyophilizaVon
support
and
106
CFU/g
during
56
days
when
the
support
used
was
soy

B.
L.
casei
CRL
731
remained
viable
at
room
temperature
for
only
14
days
at
the
assayed
storage
condiVons.
The
minimum
cell
concentraVon
required
of
probioVc
microorganism
to
exert
a
beneficial
effect
in
the
host
ranges
from
106
to107
CFU/g.
In
consequence
the
results
obtained
in
this
study
are
promising
as
they
would
allow
expanding
the

soy
cheeses
of
15
days
of
ripening,
standardized
to
pH
5.2
and
NaCl
1.5%.
Experimental
extracts
were
inoculated
with
Lp90
or
Lc72,
which
possess
aminotransferase
(AT)
acVvity
towards
different
AA,
and
Stv,
Sta
or
Stu,
all
derived
from
a
strain
with
high
glutamate
dehydrogenase
(GDH)
acVvity.
Control
extracts
without
inoculaVon
were
also
obtained.
The
pH
of
all
the
experimental
extracts
decreased
significantly
during
incubaVon,
due
to
fermentaVon
of
lactose
and
galactose,
with
the
consequent
producVon
of
lacVc
acid.
As
for
amino
acids
metabolism,
significant
differences
were
observed
in
α-‐ketoglutarate
concentraVon.
This
key
intermediate
compound
is
consumed
as
amino
group
acceptor
in
the
first
step
of
the
catabolism
of
AA
and
it
is
replenished
from
glutamic
acid
by
GDH
acVvity.
ConcentraVon
of
α-‐ketoglutarate
was
lower
than
the
controls
in
the
extracts
containing
Lp90+Stv
and
Lp90+Sta,
but
higher
than
in
the
controls
in
extracts
with
Lc72,
Lc72+Sta
and
Lc72+Stu.
Diacetyl
and
acetoin
were
significantly
higher
in
all
extracts
inoculated
with
Lp90
in
comparison
with
the
control;
evidence
of
some
cooperaVon
with
a|enuated
cells
of
S.
thermophilus
was
found,
as
both
volaVle
compounds
were
highest
when
Lp90
was
combined
with
Sta
o
Stu.
In
extracts
containing
Lc72,
diacetyl
was
higher
than
in
the
controls;
the
highest
producVon
was
found
when
Lc72+Stv
were
added.
Extracts
with
Lp90
single
or
mixed
with
Stv,
Sta
and
Stu
always
contained
more
diacetyl
and
acetoin
than
those
with
Lc72.
This
result
correlates
with
the
aminotransferase
profile
of
Lp90,
which
was
highest
towards
Asp,
as
diacetyl
and
acetoin
may
derive
from
Asp
transaminaVon
in
cheese.
On
the
other
hand,
3-‐methyl
butanal
and
3-‐methyl
butanol,
derived
from
the
catabolism
of
Leu,
were
higher
in
all
extracts
with
Lc72
than
in
the
controls.
This
finding
also
matches
with
aminotransferase
specificity
of
Lc72
towards
branched
chain
AA.
In
extracts
with
Lp90,
these
compounds
were
only
slightly
higher
than
in
the
controls.
In
the
present
work,
we
found
that
fermentaVon
of
lactose
and
galactose
and
formaVon
of
volaVle
compounds
were
led
by
the
strain
of
Lactobacillus
tested.
Only
minimal
changes
were
observed
which
could
be
a|ributed
to
the
combinaVon
of
these
strains
with
St
in
different
physiological
states,
and
they
always
reinforced
the
influence
detected
for
the
Lactobacillus
strains
when
used
alone.

The
tunta,
is
a
fermented
food
which
is
made
from
naturally
lyophilized
naVve
potatoes.
Its
resistance
to
weather
and
high
caloric
content,
higher
than
fresh
potatoes,
make
it
a
strategic
product
in
the
fragile
economy
of
the
AlVplano.
Puno
region
(south-‐East
Peru)
accounts
for
about
70%
tunta
producVon
in
the
country
and
actually,
an
esVmated
6000
tonnes
of
this
product
is
traded
annually.
Because
there
is
not
enough
informaVon
of
microbial
populaVons
in
naVve

this
study
aims
to
molecularly
characterize
isolates
of

(LAB)
and
determine
their

it
was
determined
that
isolates
belong

Leuconostoc.
Eighteen
strains
showed
99.71%
similarity
to

Likewise,
two
of

Assays
evaluaVng
bacteriocin-‐producing
capacity
of
the
strains
reflect
that
41%
of
isolates
inhibited
the
growth
of
Listeria
innocua
and
1%
inhibited
the
growth
of
Lactobacillus

have
been
previously
reported
as
bacteriocin
producers
and
anVmicrobial
compounds,
others
could
be
also
used
as
bio-‐thickeners
and
even
have
probioVc
properVes.
This
research
aims
to
revaluate
the
biotechnological
importance
of
LAB
from
naVve
Andean
products,
taking
advantage
of
their
qualiVes
in
nutriVonal
and
hygienic
improvements
and

industries.
In
a

Amino
acid
(AA)
catabolism
by
lacVc
acid
bacteria
is
one
of
the
most
important
biochemical
events
that
lead
to
bioformaVon
of
cheese
flavour.
The
selecVon
of
adjunct
strains
of
mesophilic
lactobacilli
possessing
key
enzymaVc
acVviVes
to
AA
catabolism
and
its
combinaVon
with
appropriate
primary
cultures
represents
an
interesVng
strategy
to
accelerate
or
diversify
the
flavor
development
in
cheeses.
The
aim
of
the
present
work
was
to
evaluate
the
ability
to
produce
volaVle
compounds
derived
from
AA
in
a
hard
cheese
model
by
a
strain
of
mesophilic
lactobacilli,
Lb.
paracasei
I90,
and
a
strain
of
thermophilic
starter,
L.
helve7cus
B02,
which
were
added
individually
and
mixed.
Hard
cheese
model
consisted
in
a
sterile
extract
standardized
in
salt
content
and
pH,
obtained
from
the
aqueous
phase
of
a
Reggianito
cheese
manufactured
with
L.
helve7cus
B02
and
ripened
for
3
months.
From
this
model
system
were
prepared:
extracts
inoculated
with
the
same
strain
of
L.
helve7cus
(re-‐inoculaVon)
used
in
cheese-‐making,
extracts
inoculated
with
L.
paracasei
I90,
extracts
inoculated
with
both
strains,
and
control
extracts
with
not
added
lactobacilli.
They
were
incubated
at
37ºC
for
14
days.
The
assays
were
performed
in
duplicate,
by
using
two
independent
cultures
of
each
strain
for
the
inoculaVon.
The
producVon
of
volaVle
compounds
was
monitored
by
solid-‐phase
microextracVon
(SPME)
coupled
to
GC-‐FID
and
GC-‐MS.
A
total
of
38
volaVle
compounds
were
idenVfied
in
the
cromatographic
profiles
of
extracts.
However,
only
13
were
related
to
AA
catabolism:
acetaldehyde,
2-‐
and
3-‐methyl
butanal,
ethanol,
diacetyl,
acetoin,
3-‐methyl
1-‐butanol,
benzaldehyde,
acetophenone,
aceVc
acid,
3-‐methyl
butanoic
acid,
phenylmethanol
and
phenol.
The
levels
of
acetaldehyde
were
staVsVcally
higher
in
the
extracts
inoculated
with
both
strains
in
comparison
to
the
rest
of
the
extracts.
Diacetyl,
3-‐methyl
1-‐
butanol
and
aceVc
acid
had
higher
area
values
in
all
inoculated
extracts
in
comparison
to
the
controls.
In
parVcular,
aceVc
acid
was
produced
in
higher
levels
in
the
extracts
containing
the
mixed
strains
than
in
those
with
individual
strains.
A
preferenVal
producVon
of
isovaleric
acid
was
observed
in
the
extracts
with
L.
paracasei
I90
both
alone
as
combined
with
L.
helve7cus
B02.
The
cooperaVon
effect
between
both
strains
was
only
detected
for
acetaldehyde
and
aceVc
acid.
The
benzaldehyde
and
phenylmethanol
levels
were
always
higher
in
the
control
extracts.
Both
strains
did
not
significantly
increase
the
amount
of
the
remaining
volaVle
compounds
derived
from
AA.
In
the
present
study,
L.
helve7cus
B02
and
L.
paracasei
I90
affected
the
producVon
of
some
volaVle
compounds
that
play
a
key
role
in
the
aroma,
therefore,
these
strains
could
be
used
in
cheese-‐
making
in
order
to
improve
flavour
development.

Goat
milk
is
considered
an
important
product
in
many
countries
due
to
its
economic
and
nutriVonal
values.
The
important
nutriVonal
properVes
and
organolepVc
characterisVcs
have
made
its
dairy
products,
such
as
cheeses,
recognized
as
high
value-‐added
products.
The
majority
of
fermented
products
are
produced
by
lacVc
acid
bacteria
(LAB)
which
have
a
lot
of
beneficial
properVes.
Some
LAB
possess
the
ability
to
produce
vitamins
which
are
micronutrients
that
are
essenVal
for
the
metabolism
of
living
organisms.
B-‐group
vitamins,
such
as
folate
and
riboflavin
(B2),
play
important
roles
in
metabolic
processes
such
as
energy
producVon
and
nucleoVdes
and
enzymes
synthesis.
The
aim
of
this
study
was
to
determinate
the
producVon
of
natural
folate
and
riboflavin
by
potenVal
LAB
isolated
from
goat’s
milk
and
cheeses
produced
in
São
Paulo,
Brazil.
A
total
of
127
potenVal
LAB
(Gram
posiVve
and
catalase
negaVve)
were
isolated
from
goat’s
milk
and
cheeses
samples.
A
group
of
34
isolates
(10
isolates
from
cheeses
and
24
isolates
from
goat’s
milk)
were
able
to
grow
in
the
absence
of
folate
ayer
7
passages
in
folate-‐free
medium.
These
34
isolates
were
used
to
determinate
the
extracellular
(EC)
and
intracellular
(IC)
producVon
of
natural
folate
and
riboflavin.
Folate
determinaVon
was
performed
using
a
modified
microbiological
assay
using
Lactobacillus
casei
subsp.
rhamnosus
NCIMB
10463
as
indicator
strain.
Riboflavin
determinaVon
was
performed
using
a
similar
microbiological
assay
using
Lactobacillus
rhamnosus
ATCC
7469
as
indicator
strain.
The
average
of
total
natural
folate
concentraVon
produced
was
91.2
ng/ml
and
the
values
ranged
from
2.4
to
340.6
ng/ml.
A
total
of
18
isolates
(52.9%,
5
isolates
from
cheeses
samples
and
13
isolates
from
goat’s
milk
samples)
were
able
to
produce
very
high
levels
of
natural
folates
(value
over
91.2
ng/ml).
The
mean
value
of
total
folate
produced
by
isolates
from
goat’s
milk
samples
were
98.4
ng/ml
and
by
isolates
from
cheeses
samples
were
73.8
ng/ml.
The
average
of
extracellular
concentraVons
was
25.8
ng/ml
and
the
values
ranged
from
1.1
to
227.7
ng/ml
with
9
isolates
producing
more
than
average.
The
mean
value
of
intracellular
concentraVons
was
65.3
ng/ml,
ranging
from
1.3
to
150.1
ng/ml
and
half
of
the
isolates
(17)
produced
more
than
mean
value.
One
isolate
from
a
goat’s
milk
sample
was
the
best
folate
producer,
yielding
340.6
ng/
ml
total
folate
(EC
=
227.7
ng/ml
and
IC
=
112.9
ng/ml).
Even
though
some
isolates
were
able
to
grow
without
riboflavin,
none
were
able
to
produce
this
vitamin.
The
potenVal
lacVc
acid
bacteria
isolated
in
this
study
showed
good
results
for
folate
producVon
and
probably
they
will
have
good
potenVal
to
be
used
in
the
producVon
of
a
variety
of
bioenriched
foods
and
are
currently
being
idenVfied.

Solid

fermentaVon
(SSF)
is
a
very
interesVng
technological
alternaVve
to
obtain
new
products
due
to
it
uses
waste
and
cheap
raw
material
like
substrate.
In
this
sense
soy
is
a
great
substrate
to
use
for
its
high

value
and
low
cost.
In
previous

on
soy
SSF
with
different
moisture
content
(50,
55,
65,
75,
80
%)
and
several
temperatures
(31,
33,
37,
41,
43
ºC)
were
analyzed.
These
assays
were
performed
using
4%
inoculum.
These
results
demonstrated
that
both
strains
were
able
to
develop
on
SSF
proposed
and
some
parameters
of
fermentaVve
process
were
opVmized.
The
condiVons
selected
were:
moisture
65%
and
37ºC.
The
aim
of
this
study
was
to
analyze
different
inoculum
concentraVons
on
the
behavior
of
both
strains
under
previously
opVmized
condiVons
of
soy
SSF.
Pastes
were
made
from
commercial
soy
flour
and
disVllated
water
to
obtain
65%
moisture;
they
were
sterilized
and
inoculated
with
1,
2
and
4%
cultures
of
each
strain.
These
were
incubated
at
37ºC
for
24
h
in
adequate
condiVons
for
each
strain
and
samples
at
different
Vmes
(0,
4,
8,
12,
16,
24
h)
were
taken.
The
growth,
through
the
measurement
of
pH
and
plate
counts,
proteolyVc
acVvity
and
β-‐glucosidase
acVvity
were
analyzed.
At
the
end
of
fermentaVon,
CRL
849
populaVon
reached
around
9
log
CFU
g-‐1
for
the
three
assayed
inoculum
and
pH
values
decreased
c.a.
1,55
Vmes
respect
to
the
control,
nevertheless
the
acidificaVon
rate
was
lower
for
1%
inoculum.
The
behavior
was
similar
for
the
three
condiVons
assayed
respect
to
amino
acids
intake,
soluble
protein
concentraVon
decrease
and
β-‐glucosidase
acVvity
enhancement
compared
with
non-‐inoculated
control
4).
On
the
other
hand,
populaVon
of
CRL
207
reached
around
9.6
log
CFU
g-‐1
for
the
three
inoculum,
however
pH
values
decreased
slightly
in
all
cases.
Increase
of
amino
acids
amount
and
evidence
of
β-‐glucosidase
acVvity
was
observed
without
significant
differences
between
inoculum
concentraVons.
Taken
together,
obtained
results
show
a
different
behavior
for
each
strain.
In
addiVon,
we
can
conclude
that
it
is
not
necessary
to
work
with
4%
inoculum
because
with
lower
iniVal
bacterial
amounts
is
possible
to
obtain
results
with
significant
technological
impact.
