Metabolic profile of ginkgo kernel juice fermented with lactic aicd bacteria: A potential way to degrade ginkgolic acids and enrich terpene lactones and phenolics

In this paper, the influence of lactic acid fermentation on the metabolic profile of ginkgo kernel juice was studied. For this purpose, three lactic acid bacteria (LAB), Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus casei, were selected. The results showed that all the lactobacilli grew well in ginkgo kernel juice with viable cell counts exceeding 8.0 Log CFU/mL. The organic acid contents underwent dynamic changes, and the lactic acid production reached more than 3 g/L. The consumption of sugars and free amino acids by LAB was evident. Meanwhile, more than 70% of the ginkgolic acids were degraded by LAB, and the final concentrations in ginkgo kernel juice were below 1 mg/L after 48 h of fermentation. In contrast, the terpene lactones contents in fermented ginkgo kernel juice exceed 20 mg/L, which was 1.6-fold higher than that in the unfermented juice. Certain phenolics were significantly enriched, and the total phenolic content increased by approximately 9% through fermentation. In addition, lactic acid fermentation significantly enhanced the antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of ginkgo kernel juice. Overall, the results indicated that lactic acid fermentation can effectively improve the nutritional value and safety of ginkgo kernel juice.     

Microbial colonization of naturally black olives during fermentation and associated biochemical activities in the cover brine

AIMS: To establish the site of microbial growth on naturally black fermented table olives, and to monitor the population dynamics of yeasts and selected micro-organisms together with the changes in organic acid profile and pH in the cover brine during fermentation. METHODS AND RESULTS: During fermentation, the numbers of Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonas spp. in the brine decreased whilst lactic acid bacteria and yeast populations increased. Scanning electron microscopy showed that a yeast-rich biofilm developed on the epicuticular wax of the olive skin during fermentation. Yeasts also predominated in the stomatal openings, but bacteria were more numerous in intercellular spaces in the sub-stomatal flesh. Citric, malic and tartaric acids were the major organic acids accumulating in the brine during fermentation. CONCLUSIONS: Micro-organisms associated with the skin, stomata and flesh in fermenting black olives may experience different local conditions to those prevailing in the cover brine. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: These are the first observations of the micro-organisms associated with the fruit of naturally fermented black olives and of the accumulation of specific organic acids during fermentation.     

Cooperation between Lactococcus lactis and nonstarter lactobacilli in the formation of cheese aroma from amino acids

In Gouda and Cheddar type cheeses the amino acid conversion to aroma compounds, which is a major process for aroma formation, is essentially due to lactic acid bacteria (LAB). In order to evaluate the respective role of starter and nonstarter LAB and their interactions in cheese flavor formation, we compared the catabolism of phenylalanine, leucine, and methionine by single strains and strain mixtures of Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris NCDO763 and three mesophilic lactobacilli. Amino acid catabolism was studied in vitro at pH 5.5, by using radiolabeled amino acids as tracers. In the presence of alpha-ketoglutarate, which is essential for amino acid transamination, the lactobacillus strains degraded less amino acids than L. lactis subsp. cremoris NCDO763, and produced mainly nonaromatic metabolites. L. lactis subsp. cremoris NCDO763 produced mainly the carboxylic acids, which are important compounds for cheese aroma. However, in the reaction mixture containing glutamate, only two lactobacillus strains degraded amino acids significantly. This was due to their glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) activity, which produced alpha-ketoglutarate from glutamate. The combination of each of the GDH-positive lactobacilli with L. lactis subsp. cremoris NCDO763 had a beneficial effect on the aroma formation. Lactobacilli initiated the conversion of amino acids by transforming them mainly to keto and hydroxy acids, which subsequently were converted to carboxylic acids by the Lactococcus strain. Therefore, we think that such cooperation between starter L. lactis and GDH-positive lactobacilli can stimulate flavor development in cheese.     

Use of mixed cultures for the fermentation of cereal-based substrates with potential probiotic properties

The production of a new cereal-based probiotic foods with suitable aroma, flavor and pH using mixed culture fermentation has been investigated. This required the selection of suitable types of cereal grains and probiotic microorganisms. In a medium of 5% (w/v) malt suspension the effects of yeast presence on the fermentation of a lactic acid bacterium (LAB), Lactobacillus reuteri, was studied. With different inoculum ratios between the yeast and the LAB, the characteristics of the fermentation broth including pH and the contents of free amino nitrogen (FAN), reducing sugar, lactic acid and ethanol were investigated. It was found that LAB growth was enhanced by the introduction of the yeast. In mixed culture broth pH was lowered and the production of lactic acid and ethanol were increased in comparison against pure LAB culture.     

Occurrence and taxonomic characteristics of strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae predominant in African indigenous fermented foods and beverages

Indigenous fermented foods and beverages play a major role in the diet of African people. The predominant yeast species seen is Saccharomyces cerevisiae, involved in basically three groups of indigenous fermented products: non-alcoholic starchy foods, alcoholic beverages and fermented milk. These products are to a great extent made by spontaneous fermentation and consequently S. cerevisiae often coexists with other microorganisms even though a microbiological succession usually takes place both between and within species. The functions of S. cerevisiae are mainly related to formation of alcohols and other aroma compounds, but stimulation of e.g. lactic acid bacteria, improvement of nutritional value, probiotic effects, inhibition of undesired microorganisms and production of tissue-degrading enzymes may also be observed. Several different isolates of S. cerevisiae have been shown to be involved in the fermentations and some of the isolates show pheno- and genotypic characteristics that deviate from those normally recognised for S. cerevisiae.     

Current approaches on the roles of lactic acid bacteria in crop silage

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) play pivotal roles in the preservation and fermentation of forage crops in spontaneous or inoculated silages. Highlights of silage LAB over the past decades include the discovery of the roles of LAB in silage bacterial communities and metabolism and the exploration of functional properties. The present article reviews published literature on the effects of LAB on the succession, structure, and functions of silage microbial communities involved in fermentation. Furthermore, the utility of functional LAB in silage preparation including feruloyl esterase-producing LAB, antimicrobial LAB, lactic acid bacteria with high antioxidant potential, pesticide-degrading LAB, lactic acid bacteria producing 1,2-propanediol, and low-temperature-tolerant LAB have been described. Compared with conventional LAB, functional LAB produce different effects; specifically, they positively affect animal performance, health, and product quality, among others. In addition, the metabolic profiles of ensiled forages show that plentiful probiotic metabolites with but not limited to antimicrobial, antioxidant, aromatic, and anti-inflammatory properties are observed in silage. Collectively, the current knowledge on the roles of LAB in crop silage indicates there are great opportunities to develop silage not only as a fermented feed but also as a vehicle of delivery of probiotic substances for animal health and welfare in the future.

Prevalence and diversity of tetracycline resistant lactic acid bacteria and their tet genes along the process line of fermented dry sausages

In order to study the prevalence and diversity of tetracycline resistant lactic acid bacteria (Tc(r) LAB) along the process line of two different fermented dry sausage (FDS) types, samples from the raw meat, the meat batter and the fermented end product were analysed quantitatively and qualitatively by using a culture-dependent approach. Both the diversity of the tet genes and their bacterial hosts in the different stages of FDS production were determined. Quantitative analysis showed that all raw meat components of both FDS types (FDS-01 and FDS-08) contained a subpopulation of Tc(r) LAB, and that for FDS-01 no Tc(r) LAB could be recovered from the samples after fermentation. Qualitative analysis of the Tc(r) LAB subpopulation in FDS-08 included identification and typing of Tc(r) LAB isolates by (GTG)5-PCR fingerprinting, plasmid profiling, protein profiling and a characterization of the resistance by PCR detection of tet genes. Two remarks can be made when the results of this analysis for the different samples are compared. (i) The taxonomic diversity of Tc(r) LAB varies along the process line, with a higher diversity in the raw meat (lactococci, lactobacilli, streptococci, and enterococci), and a decrease after fermentation (only lactobacilli). (ii) Also the genetic diversity of the tet genes varies along the process line. Both tet(M) and tet(S) were found in the raw meat, whereas only tet(M) was found after fermentation. A possible relationship was found between the disappearing of species other than lactobacilli and tet(S), because tet(S) was only found in lacotocci, enterococci, and streptococci. These data suggest that fermented dry sausages are among those food products that can serve as vehicles for Tc(r) LAB and that the raw meat already contains a subpopulation of these bacteria. Whether these results reflect the transfer of resistant bacteria or of bacterial resistance genes from animals to man via the food chain is difficult to ascertain and may require a combination of cultivation-dependent and cultivation-independent approaches.
