Abstract
Consumer demand for functional foods has increased, helping to popularize and increase the consumption of Kombucha. Other substrates have been used together with tea to improve the functional and sensory properties of the beverage. Thus, this study evaluated the comprehensive biochemical, microbiological, and sensory characteristics of kombuchas fermented with green tea (Camellia sinensis) and different concentrations of yam (0, 10, and 20 % w/v). Based on pre-tests to detect the best concentration of yam in the beverage (10, 20, 30, and 40 %) and fermentation time (5, 7, and 14 days),the concentrations of 10 and 20 % of yam and five days of fermentation were selected through pH, °Brix, and sensory analysis. During the kombucha fermentation, there was a decrease in °Brix and pH. Sucrose, glucose, fructose, citric, and succinic acids were related to the beginning of fermentation, and lactic and acetic acids were more related to the end of fermentation in the treatment containing 20 % yam. The fermentation time did not change the color of the kombucha. Fatty acids, phenols, terpenoids, and alcohols were the volatile groups with the most compounds identified. Only two yeast genera were identified (Brettanomyces bruxellensis and Pichia membranifaciens), and bacteria of the genera Acetobacter, Lactobacillus, Pantoea, Pseudomonas, Azospirillum, and Enterobacter. The beverage control showed less turbidity and more clear. The fruity descriptor was more perceived in treatments with yam. However, the perception of the apple descriptor decreases as the yam concentration increases. The yam's concentration alters the kombucha's microbiota and sensory characteristics, mainly appearance and acidity. Kombucha fermentation using yam extract is viable, and the product is sensorially accepted. However, technological improvements, such as yam flour, could be made mainly for appearance and taste attributes.

Abstract
In the recent years, lactic acid bacteria species such as Lactobacillus are considering one of the important species of probiotics used in the food processing sector to produce fermented products and play a significant role for the transformation and preservation of food products. Besides, there is a huge exploration of new molecules that promote health and exhibit potential for technological applications such as non-digestible carbohydrates. The non-digestible carbohydrates provide various health benefits such as balancing and sustaining the microbiota in the intestine and increasing the production of short chain fatty acids (SCFA). The aim of this review is to review some types of non-digestible carbohydrates as an enhancer for the growth of probiotics. These compounds can help in improving many characteristics of food such as sensory and textural properties.

Abstract
Microorganisms have been harnessed to process raw plants into fermented foods. The adaptation to a variety of plant environments has resulted in a nearly inseparable association between the bacterial species and the plant with a characteristic chemical profile. Lactic acid bacteria, which are known for their ability to adapt to nutrient-rich niches, have altered their genomes to dominate specific habitats through gene loss or gain. Molecular biology approaches provide a deep insight into the evolutionary process in many bacteria and their adaptation to colonize the plant matrix. Knowledge of the adaptive characteristics of microorganisms facilitates an efficient use thereof in fermentation to achieve desired final product properties. With their ability to acidify the environment and degrade plant compounds enzymatically, bacteria can modify the textural and organoleptic properties of the product and increase the bioavailability of plant matrix components. This article describes selected microorganisms and their competitive survival and adaptation in fermented fruit and vegetable environments. Beneficial changes in the plant matrix caused by microbial activity and their beneficial potential for human health are discussed as well.

Abstract
Lactic acid bacteria are a kind of microorganisms that can ferment carbohydrates to produce lactic acid, and are currently widely used in the fermented food industry. In recent years, with the excellent role of lactic acid bacteria in the food industry and probiotic functions, their microbial metabolic characteristics have also attracted more attention. Lactic acid bacteria can decompose macromolecular substances in food, including degradation of indigestible polysaccharides and transformation of undesirable flavor substances. Meanwhile, they can also produce a variety of products including short-chain fatty acids, amines, bacteriocins, vitamins and exopolysaccharides during metabolism. Based on the above-mentioned metabolic characteristics, lactic acid bacteria have shown a variety of expanded applications in the food industry. On the one hand, they are used to improve the flavor of fermented foods, increase the nutrition of foods, reduce harmful substances, increase shelf life, and so on. On the other hand, they can be used as probiotics to promote health in the body. This article reviews and prospects the important metabolites in the expanded application of lactic acid bacteria from the perspective of bioengineering and biotechnology.

Spontaneously Fermented Fruiting Bodies of Agaricus bisporus as a Valuable Source of New Isolates of Lactic Acid Bacteria with Functional Potential. Foods 2020; 9:E1631. [PMID: 33171613 PMCID: PMC7695194 DOI: 10.3390/foods9111631] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2020] [Revised: 11/05/2020] [Accepted: 11/06/2020] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
The aim of the investigation was the identification and initial study of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from spontaneously fermented (at 28 °C for 5 days) fruiting bodies of white button mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus). The isolated LAB were preliminarily characterized applying the MALDI-TOF Biotyper. Moreover, further phenotypical, genotypical characteristics as well as some functional and technological properties of the selected microorganisms (including the ability to produce exopolysaccharides, cell hydrophobicity, resistance to low pH, and bile salt) were also analyzed. Among autochthonous LAB (isolated from the tested mushroom raw material), Leuconostoc mesenteroides predominated in spontaneously fermented A. bisporus, while Lactiplantibacillus paraplantarum, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, and Lactococcus lactis were less abundant. The highest dynamics of acidification of the mushroom material were exhibited by isolates EK55 and EK4 that, after 24 h of incubation, were able to decrease the pH of the raw material up to 5.06 ± 0.021 and 5.17 ± 0.015, respectively. Furthermore, the analysis of bacterial cell hydrophobicity indicated that the highest values of this parameter were noted for L. plantarum isolates EK12 (29.59 ± 0.7%), EK55 (28.75 ± 0.551%), and EK5 (27.33 ± 1.516%). It was revealed some of the analyzed LAB (especially isolates L. plantarum EK55 and L. paraplantarum EK4) exhibited functional and technological potential that might be used in the formulation of novel starter cultures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The demand for industrialized foods that contribute to health and well-being has characterized the new generation of consumers. Yam (Dioscorea sp.) is a nutritious food; however, it is not used very much in industrial food processes. The objective of this study was to develop and to characterize a truly dairy-free low-fat ice cream prepared from unfermented and fermented with yam dough. RESULTS The fermentation was conducted by Leuconostoc lactic CCMA 0415 remained viable (107 CFU/g) during 90 days of storage. The fermentation process reduced the starch concentration from 26.82% to 22.35% and the protein concentration from 4.68% to 3.99% and increased the concentration of some minerals (K, S, Cu, Mn, Zn, and Fe). The total phenolic contents for fermented and unfermented ice creams were 51 and 54 mg, respectively. The radical scavenging activity were 18% and 10% with the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl method and 44% and 26% with the 2,2'-azino-bis (3 ethylbenzo-thiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) method for the unfermented and fermented samples, respectively. The fermented and unfermented ice creams were both characterized as non-Newtonian fluids exhibiting pseudoplastic behaviors. CONCLUSIONS These results indicated that yam is a suitable substitute for milk, thus making it an option to produce edible lactose-free ice cream with low fat.
