Sharma P, Sharma A, Lee HJ. Antioxidant potential of exopolysaccharides from lactic acid bacteria: A comprehensive review. Int J Biol Macromol 2024:135536. [PMID: 39349319 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.135536] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2024] [Revised: 08/23/2024] [Accepted: 09/09/2024] [Indexed: 10/02/2024]
Abstract
Exopolysaccharides (EPSs) from lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have multifunctional capabilities owing to their diverse structural conformations, monosaccharide compositions, functional groups, and molecular weights. A review paper on EPS production and antioxidant potential of different LAB genera has not been thoroughly reviewed. Therefore, the current review provides comprehensive information on the biosynthesis of EPSs, including the isolation source, type, characterization techniques, and application, with a primary focus on their antioxidant potential. According to this review, 17 species of Lactobacillus, five species of Bifidobacterium, four species of Leuconostoc, three species of Weissella, Enterococcus, and Lactococcus, two species of Pediococcus, and one Streptococcus species have been documented to exhibit antioxidant activity. Of the 111 studies comprehensively reviewed, 98 evaluated the radical scavenging activity of EPSs through chemical-based assays, whereas the remaining studies documented the antioxidant activity using cell and animal models. Studies have shown that different LAB genera have a unique capacity to produce homo- (HoPs) and heteropolysaccharides (HePs), with varied carbohydrate compositions, linkages, and molecular weights. Leuconostoc, Weissella, and Pediococcus were the main HoPs producers, whereas the remaining genera were the main HePs producers. Recent trends in EPSs production and blending to improve their properties have also been discussed.

Arch Microbiol 2024; 206:389. [PMID: 39210205 DOI: 10.1007/s00203-024-04112-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2024] [Revised: 08/13/2024] [Accepted: 08/14/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024]
Abstract
Exopolysaccharides produced by lactic acid bacteria have gained attention for their potential health benefits and applications in functional foods. This study explores the isolation and characterization of a novel exopolysaccharide-producing strain from dairy products. The aim was to evaluate its probiotic potential and investigate the properties of the produced exopolysaccharide. A strain identified as Enterococcus faecium PCH.25, isolated from cow butter, demonstrated exopolysaccharide production. The study's novelty lies in the comprehensive characterization of this strain and its exopolysaccharide, revealing unique properties with potential applications in food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries. The E. faecium PCH.25 strain exhibited strong acid tolerance, with a 92.24% viability rate at pH 2 after 2 h of incubation. It also demonstrated notable auto-aggregation (85.27% after 24 h) and co-aggregation abilities, antibiotic sensitivity, and absence of hemolytic activity, suggesting its probiotic potential. The exopolysaccharide produced by this strain showed bactericidal activity (MIC and MBC = 1.8 mg/ml) against Listeria monocytogenes and antioxidant properties (22.8%). Chemical analysis revealed a heteropolysaccharide composed of glucose and fructose monomers, with various functional groups contributing to its bioactivities. Physical characterization of the exopolysaccharide indicated thermal stability up to 270 °C, a negative zeta-potential (-27 mV), and an average particle size of 235 nm. Scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray analysis revealed a smooth, nonporous structure primarily composed of carbon and oxygen, with an amorphous nature. These findings suggest that the exopolysaccharide from E. faecium PCH.25 has potential as a natural antibacterial and antioxidant polymer for use in functional foods, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.

Abstract
Fructilactobacillus sanfranciscensis is a significant and dominant bacterial species of sourdough microbiota from ecological and functional perspectives. Despite the remarkable prevalence of different strains of this species in sourdoughs worldwide, the drivers behind the genetic diversity of this species needed to be clarified. In this research, 14 F. sanfranciscensis strains were isolated from sourdough samples to evaluate the genetic diversity and variation in metabolic traits. These 14 and 31 other strains (obtained from the NCBI database) genomes were compared. The values for genome size and GC content, on average, turned out to 1.31 Mbp and 34.25%, respectively. In 45 F. sanfranciscensis strains, there were 162 core genes and 0 to 51 unique genes present in each strain. The primary functions of core genes were related to nucleotide, lipid transport, and amino acid, as well as carbohydrate metabolism. The size of core genes accounted for 41.18% of the pan-genome size in 14 F. sanfranciscensis strains, i.e., 0.70 Mbp of 1.70 Mbp. There were genetic variations among the 14 strains involved in carbohydrate utilization and antibiotic resistance. Moreover, exopolysaccharides biosynthesis-related genes were annotated, including epsABD, wxz, wzy. The Type IIA & IE CRISPR-Cas systems, pediocin PA-1 and Lacticin_3147_A1 bacteriocins operons were also discovered in F. sanfranciscensis. These findings can help to select desirable F. sanfranciscensis strains to develop standardized starter culture for sourdough fermentation, and expect to provide traditional fermented pasta with a higher quality and nutritional value for the consumers.

Abstract
An exopolysaccharide (EPS)-producing bacterium was isolated from apricot fermentation broth and identified as Gluconobacter frateurii HDC-08 (accession number: OK036475.1). HDC-08 EPS is a linear homopolysaccharide mainly composed of glucose linked by α-(1,6) glucoside bonds. It contains C, H, N and S elements, with a molecular weight of 4.774 × 106 Da. Microscopically, it has a smooth, glossy and compact sheet structure. It is an amorphous noncrystalline substance with irregular coils. Moreover, the EPS showed surface hydrophobicity and high thermal stability with a degradation temperature of 250.76 °C. In addition, it had strong antioxidant properties against DPPH radicals, ABPS radicals, hydroxyl radicals and H2O2. The EPS exhibited high metal-chelating activity and strong emulsifying ability for soybean oil, petroleum ether and diesel oil. The milk solidification test indicated that the EPS had good potential in fermented dairy products. In general, all the results demonstrate that HDC-08 EPS has promise for commercial applications as a food additive and antioxidant.

Abstract
This study aimed to enhance exopolysaccharide production by Tetragenococcus halophilus, and results showed that low temperature (20 °C) significantly improved exopolysaccharide production. Based on the analysis of batch fermentation kinetic parameters, a temperature-shift strategy was proposed, and the exopolysaccharide yield was increased by 28 %. Analysis of the structure of exopolysaccharide suggested that low temperature changed the molecular weight and monosaccharide composition. Transcriptomic analysis was performed to reveal mechanisms of low temperature improving exopolysaccharide production. Results suggested that T. halophilus regulated utilization of carbon sources through phosphotransferase system and increased the expression of key genes in exopolysaccharide biosynthesis to improve exopolysaccharide production. Meanwhile, metabolic pathways involved in glycolysis, amino acids synthesis, two-component system and ATP-binding cassette transporters were affected at low temperature. Results presented in this paper provided a theoretical basis for biosynthetic pathway of exopolysaccharide in T. halophilus and aided to strengthen its production and application in many areas.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In investigating of (exopolysaccharide) EPS from unconventional sources, lactic acid bacteria have a vital role due to their generally recognized as safe (GRAS) status. EPSs have diverse applications such as drug delivery, antimicrobial activity, surgical implants, and many more in many sectors. Despite being important, the main hindrance to the commercial application of these significant biopolymers is low productivity. Therefore, this study primarily focuses on optimizing physio-chemical conditions to maximize the previously produced EPS from probiotic Lactiplantibacillus plantarum RO30 (L. plantarum RO30) using one factor at a time (OFAT) and method Response Surface Methodology (RSM). RESULTS The EPS obtained from L. plantarum RO30 named REPS. The medium formulation for REPS production using the OFAT method revealed that sucrose (20 g/L, beef extract (25 g/L), and ammonium sulfate at 4 g/L concentration were the optimum carbon, organic and inorganic nitrogen sources, and REPS yield was increased up to 9.11 ± 0.51 g/L. RSM experiments revealed that, a greatly significant quadratic polynomial attained from the Central Composite Design (CCD) model was fruitful for specifying the most favorable cultural conditions that have significant consequences on REPS yield. The maximal amount of REPS (10.32 g/L) was formed by: sucrose (40 g/L), beef extract (25 g/L), pH (5.5), incubation temperature (30 °C), and incubation period (72 h). A high closeness was obtained between the predicted and experimental values and it displayed the efficiency of the RSM. CONCLUSION This study was conducted to reinforce REPS production in the probiotic LAB L. plantarum RO30 by utilizing various experimental parameters. The maximum REPS yield of 10.32 g/L was attained under the circumstances optimized in the study.

Abstract
Naturally occurring biopolymers like exopolysaccharides (EPS) secreted by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) has gained significant attention as they are cost effective, renewable and safe. In order to prevent the rapid increase in antibiotic resistant bacteria, the EPS of LAB offers novel approach of targeting the antibiotic resistant pathogens by limiting their effects on environment. Accordingly, in this study, the production, purification, characterization and biological properties of exopolysaccharides from Lactococcus hircilactis strain CH4 and Lactobacillus delbrueckii strain GRIPUMSK were performed. The optimization of lactic acid bacterial strains for exopolysaccharide production was done by response surface methodology and changing the carbon sources in the growth media. The carbohydrate and protein of exopolysaccharide 1 were 79.7 % and 8.7 % respectively and exopolysaccharide 2 were 75.2 % and 9.3 % respectively. When compared with the commercial emulsifier sodium dodecyl sulfate, both the exopolysaccharides have shown good emulsifying activity. Both the exopolysaccharides were linear homo-polysaccharide as determined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and Nuclear magnetic resonance spectra. Scanning electron microscopy showed that the exopolysaccharides were porous and capable of holding water. The exopolysaccharides were partially crystalline as confirmed by X-ray diffraction spectra. Exopolysaccharides from L. hircilactis and L. delbrueckii exhibited significant antimicrobial activity against H. pylori, S. flexneri, S. pyogenes, E. faecalis and C. albicans. Both the exopolysaccharides revealed significant 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl and hydrogen peroxide scavenging ability with the IC50 value of 100 μg/ml and 80 μg/ml respectively. Exopolysaccharides from L. hircilactis and L. delbrueckii at 100 μg/ml showed significant anticancer activity on HT-29 cells with 58.4 % and 58.7 % respectively. These findings proved that exopolysaccharides from the two selected lactic acid bacterial strains could be explored as natural bioactive carbohydrate polymer for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Crude exopolysaccharides produced by Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus SHA113 were previously found to exhibit anti-alcoholic gastric ulcer activity in mice, but their major active fraction, structural characteristics, and underlying mechanisms remain unknown. Here, LRSE1 was identified as the active exopolysaccharide fraction produced by L. rhamnosus SHA113 responsible for the above effects. Purified LRSE1 had a molecular weight of 4.9 × 104 Da and was comprised of L-fucose, D-mannose, D-glucuronic acid, d-glucose, D-galactose, and L-arabinose in the molar ratio of 2.4:6.5:1.2:1.00:0.3:0.6, respectively. The oral administration of LRSE1 resulted in a significant protective and therapeutic effect on alcoholic gastric ulcers in mice. These effects were identified to involve a reduction in reactive oxygen species, apoptosis, and the inflammatory response, increases in antioxidant enzyme activities, and increases in the phylum Firmicutes and decreases in the genera Enterococcus, Enterobacter, and Bacteroides in the gastric mucosa of mice. In vitro experiments showed that the administration of LRSE1 both inhibited apoptosis in GEC-1 cells via the TRPV1-P65-Bcl-2 pathway and inhibited the inflammatory response in RAW264.7 cells via the TRPV1-PI3K pathway. For the first time, we have identified the active exopolysaccharide fraction produced by Lacticaseibacillus that protects against alcoholic gastric ulcers and determined that its effect involves TRPV1-mediated pathways.

Physicochemical and rheological characterizations of a novel exopolysaccharide EPSKar1 and its iron complex EPSKar1-Fe: Towards potential iron-fortification applications.

Abstract
Iron is a micronutrient essential for human health and physiology. Iron-deficiency anemia, the most common form of anemia, may occur from an iron homeostasis imbalance. Iron fortification is a promising and most sustainable and affordable solution to tackle the global prevalence of this anemia. Herein, we investigate physicochemical, rheological and stability characteristics of a novel exopolysaccharide 'EPSKar1' (derived from Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus strain Kar1) and its iron complex 'EPSKar1-Fe (II)'. Our findings demonstrate that EPSKar1 is a high molecular-weight (7.8 × 105 Da) branched-chain heteropolysaccharide composed of galactose, N-acetylglucosamine, and mannose in a molar ratio of 8:4:1, respectively, and exhibits strong emulsifying and water-holding capacities. We find that EPSKar1 forms strong complexes with Fe, wherein the interactions between EPSKar1-Fe (II) complexes are mediated by sulfate, carboxyl, and hydroxyl groups. The rheological analyses reveal that the EPSKar1 and EPSKar1-Fe (II) complexes exhibited shear thickening and thinning properties in skim milk and water, respectively; however, the suspension of EPSKar1 in skim milk is viscoelastic with predominantly elastic response (G'>G" and tan δ < 1). In comparison, EPSKar1-Fe (II) complex exhibits remarkable stability under various processing conditions, highlighting its usefulness for the development of fortified dairy products. Together, these findings underpin considerable prospects of EPSKar1-Fe (II) complex as a novel iron-fortifier possessing multifarious rheological benefits for food applications.

Probiotic-derived exopolysaccharides are considered as promising sources of carbohydrate with extensive applications in many industries. In the current study, yeast strains were isolated from chicken ingluvies and gizzard samples. According to molecular identification, EPS-producing yeast (Pichia sp. DU2) showed the most similarity to Pichia cactophila (99.67%). Pichia sp. DU2 showed probiotic properties. EPS of Pichia sp. DU2 showed emulsifying activity. The formed emulsions showed 53% (colza oil) and 100% (p-xylene) stability after 24 h. These emulsions were oil-in-water and have stability in the presence of NaCl, KCl, and also acidic and basic conditions. Also, the EPS showed anti-biofilm (29.7-47.6% and 19.06-55.26% against B. cereus and Y. enterocolitica, respectively) and flocculating activities (31.4%). FT-IR showed the presence of various functional groups in EPS structure. Also, its heteropolysaccharide nature was revealed in 1H-NMR and HPLC analysis. This emulsifying EPS showed significant thermal stability and negative zeta potential, which make it a promising carbohydrate for various industries. Finally, according to the predicted model, the maximal EPS production was achieved at reaction time 36 h, pH 6, yeast extract concentration 1.0%, and sucrose concentration 5%. Pichia sp. DU2 with probiotic properties and producing EPS with emulsifying, anti-biofilm, and flocculating activities can be considered as promising yeast strain in various industries like food and pharmaceutical industries.

Abstract
Exopolysaccharides (EPS) produced by lactic acid bacteria are complicated polymers with industrial applications. LAB were isolated, screened for EPS production, and their probiotic properties determined. The anti-biofilm activity of EPS was investigated. Safety of EPS-producing isolate was investigated and it was molecularly identified through 16S rRNA sequencing. Finally, anti-biofilm and emulsification activity of EPS was studied and it was characterized using FT-IR, TGA, 1H-NMR, DLS and HPLC. Thirteen LAB were isolated from dairy products. They showed probiotic characteristics like acid resistance (0-6.51 CFU ml-1) hydrophobicity (8-54.04%), autoaggregation (0% [t = 2 h]-99.8% [t = 24 h]) and coaggregation with food borne pathogens. Among them, Enterococcus durans DU1 had ability to produce EPS. EPS of Enterococcus durans DU1 showed antibiofilm activity against Y. enterocolitica (24.06-51.36%), S. aureus (12.33-49.6%), and B. cereus (11.66-27.16%). FT-IR showed this EPS had characteristic absorption peaks due to the presence of the pyran ring of sugars. 1H NMR showed that EPS has N-acetyl, methyl, and alkyl groups in its structure. The HPLC analysis showed that EPS is a heteropolysaccharide and consists of sucrose, glucose, and fructose. EPS showed significant thermal stability (20% weight loss) under 300 °C and zeta potential of - 18.1 mV. This EPS can be used in the food industry with no adverse effect on consumers.

Abstract
In the present work, a novel exopolysaccharide EPS-3791 was extracted and purified from a salt-tolerant yeast, Zygosaccharomyces rouxii. Structural analyses showed that EPS-3791 was composed of galactose, glucose and mannose in a molar ration of 1.00: 4.25: 13.30 with a molecular weight of 64.412 kDa. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy manifested the main functional groups, α- and β- configurations. Methylated analysis indicated T-Manp-(1→, →2)-Glcp-(1 → and → 2,6)-Manp-(1 → were the main linkages. 800 MHz nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy demonstrated the EPS-3791 structure of a novel main chain and branched chain. Atomic force microscope and scanning electron microscope revealed a homogeneous and uniform porous structure. In addition, EPS-3791 was proven to have cryoprotective and freeze-drying protective effects on Lactococcus lactis, and exhibited better protective performance than that of trelahose during freeze-drying of L. lactis, suggesting that EPS-3791 could be developed into cryoprotectant or lyoprotectant applied in food industry.

Abstract
An EPS produced by Weissella confusa H2 was purified through Sephadex G-100, and the preliminary structure characteristics and biological activities of H2 EPS were analyzed. Molecular mass of purified H2 EPS was 2.705 × 106 Da as measured with gel permeation chromatography (GPC). Composition of monosaccharides, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy spectroscopy and fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) showed that the EPS was a linear homopolysaccharide, mainly constituted of glucose and it is suggested that the EPS was dextran with α-(1 → 6) glycosidic bonds and a few α-(1 → 3) branches. Atomic force micrograph (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis of dextran further revealed sheets branched microstructure anchored with many irregular protuberances in aqueous solution. The XRD pattern reflected non-crystalline amorphous nature. In addition, the solubility, water-holding capacity, thermal property, rheological property and heavy metal chelating activity of the purified H2 dextran were determined. The dissolution percentage and water holding capacity of the dextran were 98.78 ± 1.37% and 426.03 ± 7.26%, respectively. The dextran exhibited good hydrophilicity, thermal stability and heavy metal chelating activity. Rheological studies exhibited rotational speed, pH, temperature, metal ions solutions dependent semiviscous nature. These results support its use as an additive in the food and environmental protection fields.

Abstract
Probiotics and their fermentation products are increasingly been focused on due to their health-boosting effects. Exopolysaccharides (EPS) synthetized by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are widely applied as texture modifiers in dairy, meat and bakery products owning to their improved properties. Moreover, LAB-derived EPS have been confirmed to possess diverse physiological bioactivities including antioxidant, anti-biofilm, antiviral, immune-regulatory or antitumor. However, the low production and high acquisition cost hinder their development. Even though LAB-derived EPS have been extensively studied for their production-improving, there are only few reports on the systematic elucidation and summary of the relationship among biosynthesis pathway, strain selection, production parameter, structure-function relationship. Therefore, a detailed summary on biosynthesis pathway, production parameter and structure-function relationship of LAB-derived EPS is provided in this review, the structural modifications together with the current and potential applications are also discussed in this paper.

Abstract
Bioflocculant may be a promising bioactivator for heavy metal removal duo to its eco-friendly properties and remarkable ability to adsorb heavy metals. In this study, bioflocculant production from a bacterium, Pseudomonas sp. GO2, was optimized and its removal efficiency for two heavy metal ions was evaluated. Results demonstrated that the maximal flocculation efficiency was achieved with concentration levels of 5 g/L glucose, 3 g/L casein, and 5 g/L NaCl, with an initial pH of 9.0, and a fermentation time of 48 h. Bioflocculant produced by GO2 had a stronger removal efficiency for Cd2+ than that of Pb2+, with highest removal efficiencies of 85.38% and 80.87%, respectively. The adsorption process was mainly dependent on the monolayer and chemisorption based on the adsorption isotherm and kinetic models. This study demonstrated that bioflocculant produced by the GO2 strain has the potential to be used in heavy metal treatment from industrial wastewater.

Abstract
The production of exopolysaccharides (EPS) by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) has attracted particular interest in the food industry. EPS can be considered as natural biothickeners as they are produced in situ by LAB and improve the rheological properties of fermented foods. Moreover, much research has been conducted on the beneficial effects of EPS produced by LAB on modulating the gut microbiome and promoting health. The EPS, which varies widely in composition and structure, may have diverse health effects, such as glycemic control, calcium and magnesium absorption, cholesterol-lowering, anticarcinogenic, immunomodulatory, and antioxidant effects. In this article, the latest advances on structure, biosynthesis, and physicochemical properties of LAB-derived EPS are described in detail. This is followed by a summary of up-to-date methods used to detect, characterize and elucidate the structure of EPS produced by LAB. In addition, current strategies on the use of LAB-produced EPS in food products have been discussed, focusing on beneficial applications in dairy products, gluten-free bakery products, and low-fat meat products, as they positively influence the consistency, stability, and quality of the final product. Highlighting is also placed on reports of health-promoting effects, with particular emphasis on prebiotic, immunomodulatory, antioxidant, cholesterol-lowering, anti-biofilm, antimicrobial, anticancer, and drug-delivery activities.

Abstract
In this study, an exopolysaccharide (EPS) was produced by Weissella cibaria NC516.11 isolated from distiller grains of Chinese Baijiu. The structural characterization of EPS determined using fourier transform infrared spectra and nuclear magnetic resonance spectra demonstrated that W. cibaria NC516.11 had α-(1 → 6) (93.46%) d-glucose linkages with a few α-(1 → 3) (6.54%) d-glucose linked branches. The monosaccharide composition of the EPS was glucose, and its molecular weight was 2.82 × 106 Da. Scanning electron microscopy showed that the microstructure of EPS had a three-dimensional structure at low magnification and a particle structure that protruded from the surface at high magnification. The addition of EPS into dough can promote the cross-linking of starch molecules and increase the water-holding capacity. Dynamic rheology indicated that the aqueous solution of EPS is a pseudoplastic fluid, and the higher the concentration of EPS, the greater the viscosity. The addition of EPS to the gluten-free dough showed G' > G", which could increase the viscoelastic properties of the dough and enhance the gluten network.

Abstract
Exopolysaccharides (EPSs) synthesized by lactic acid bacteria (LAB), have recently received much interest because of their various functional features in several industries. Food wastes (FWs) have become a major source of worry, as they can cause serious environmental contamination if improperly disposed. The utilization of these FWs is an excellent choice (approach) for producing value-added products such as EPSs, which will efficiently remediate wastes. The overall EPSs yield for the selected producers is strain-specific, and is heavily influenced by the nutritional and growing conditions used. This review emphasizes what is currently known about LAB's ability to generate economically relevant EPSs from FWs. In addition, a concise overview of the food industry, packaging, pharmaceutical and clinical applications application is discussed.

Abstract
Exopolysaccharides (EPS) are biopolymers produced by many microorganisms, including some species of the genus Acetobacter, Bacillus, Fructobacillus, Leuconostoc, Lactobacillus, Lactiplantibacillus, Pediococcus, Pichia, Rhodotorula, Saccharomycodes, Schizosaccharomyces, and Sphingomonas, which have been reported in the microbiota of traditional fermented beverages. Dextran, levan, glucan, gellan, and cellulose, among others, are EPS produced by these genera. Extracellular biopolymers are responsible for contributing to specific characteristics to fermented products, such as modifying their organoleptic properties or contributing to biological activities. However, EPS can be easily found in the dairy industry, where they affect rheological properties in products such as yogurt or cheese, among others. Over the years, LAB has been recognized as good starter strains in spontaneous fermentation, as they can contribute beneficial properties to the final product in conjunction with yeasts. To the best our knowledge, several articles have reported that the EPS produced by LAB and yeasts possess many both biological and technological properties that can be influenced by many factors in which fermentation occurs. Therefore, this review presents traditional Mexican fermented beverages (tavern, tuba, sotol, and aguamiel) and relates them to the microbial EPS, which affect biological and techno-functional activities.

Abstract
The application of probiotics has emerged as an innovative bioprotection technology to preserve fresh and minimally processed fruit and vegetables. This review discusses the most recent advances on the development and application of probiotic-loaded edible films/coatings as a strategy to preserve fresh or minimally processed fruit and vegetables. Available studies have shown a variety of materials, including hydrocolloids (polysaccharides and proteins) and lipids, used alone or in combination to formulate edible films/coatings loaded with probiotics. Plasticizers and surfactants are usually required to formulate these edible films/coatings. The reported antimicrobial effects of probiotic-loaded edible films/coating and quality parameters of coated fruit and vegetables could vary according to the characteristics of the materials used in their formulation, loaded probiotic strain and its dose. The antimicrobial effects of these films/coatings could be linked to the action of various metabolites produced by embedded probiotic cells with inhibitory effects on microorganisms contaminating fruit and vegetable surfaces. The implication of the use of probiotic-loaded edible films/coatings should be their antimicrobial effects against pathogenic and spoilage microorganisms and efficacy to control the ripening of fruit and vegetables, helping the coated products to maintain their safety, quality, nutritional and functional characteristics for a more prolonged storage period.

Abstract
In this study, an extracellular acidic polysaccharide (EAPS) from marine Rhodotorula sp. RY1801 was extracted, and its biological properties were investigated. EAPS is mainly composed of monosaccharides, including mannose, rhamnose, glucose, galactose, and fucose, had an average molecular weight of 5.902 × 107 Da. The results indicated that EAPS can promote the growth of Lactobacillus acidophilus and L. acidophilus plantarum. EAPS is capable of scavenging both superoxide anion and hydroxyl radicals in vitro. The highest scavenging rate of superoxide anion and hydroxyl radicals is 29 and 84%, respectively. Using in vivo model, we found that the EAPS can expand the lifespan and increase the disease resistance of Caenorhabditis elegans against Klebsiella pneumoniae infection via the DAF-2/DAF-16 pathway. These results suggested that EAPS from marine Rhodotorula sp. RY1801 could promote the growth of beneficial bacteria and can be used as an antioxidant and immunomodulator, which had considerable potential in the food and health industry.

Technological and Safety Attributes of Lactic Acid Bacteria and Yeasts Isolated from Spontaneously Fermented Greek Wheat Sourdoughs. Microorganisms 2021; 9:microorganisms9040671. [PMID: 33805132 PMCID: PMC8064081 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms9040671] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2021] [Revised: 03/16/2021] [Accepted: 03/22/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
The aim of the present study was to assess the technological and safety potential of 207 lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and 195 yeast strains isolated from spontaneously fermented Greek wheat sourdoughs. More accurately, the amylolytic, proteolytic, lipolytic, phytase and amino acid decarboxylase activities, along with the production of exopolysaccharides and antimicrobial compounds by the LAB and yeast isolates, were assessed. A well diffusion assay revealed seven proteolytic LAB and eight yeast strains; hydrolysis of tributyrin was evident only in 11 LAB strains. A further Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate-Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) indicated partial hydrolysis of gluten. Lipolysis kinetics over 21 days was applied, exhibiting that lipolytic activity ranged from 6.25 to 65.50 AU/mL. Thirteen LAB inhibited Penicillium olsonii and Aspergillus niger growth and 12 yeast strains inhibited Pe. chrysogenum growth. Twenty-one Lactiplantibacillus plantarum strains exhibited inhibitory activity against Listeria monocytogenes, as well as several sourdough-associated isolates. The structural gene encoding plantaricin 423 was detected in 19 Lcb. plantarum strains, while the structural genes encoding plantaricins NC8, PlnE/F, PlnJ/K, and S were detected in two Lcb. plantarum strains. None of the microbial strains tested exhibited exopolysaccharide (EPS) production, amino acid decarboxylase, amylolytic or phytase activity. The technological and safety potential of the Lcb. plantarum and Wickerhamomyces anomalus strains was highlighted, since some of them exhibited proteolytic, lipolytic, antibacterial and antimould activities.

Abstract
In the present study, an exopolysaccharide (EPS)-producing bacterial strain was isolated from the Eastern Sea (Sokcho Beach) of South Korea and identified as Sphingobium yanoikuyae BBL01. Media optimization was performed using response surface design, and a yield of 2.63 ± 0.02 g/L EPS was achieved. Purified EPS produced using lactose as the main carbon source was analyzed by GC-MS and found to be composed of α-D-xylopyranose (28.6 ± 2.0%), β-D-glucopyranose (21.0 ± 1.6%), α-D-mannopyranose (18.5 ± 1.2%), β-d-mannopyranose (13.1 ± 1.4%), β-D-xylopyranose (10.2 ± 2.1%), α-d-talopyranose (5.9 ± 1.1%), and β-d-galacturonic acid (2.43 ± 0.8%). Interestingly, different carbon sources (glucose, galactose, glycerol, lactose, sucrose, and xylose) showed no effect on EPS monomer composition, with a slight change in the mass percentage of various monosaccharides. Purified EPS was stable up to 233 °C, indicating its possible suitability as a thickening and gelling agent for food-related applications. EPS also showed considerable emulsifying, flocculating, free-radical scavenging, and metal-complexion activity, suggesting various biotechnological applications.

Structural characterization, functional and biological activities of an exopolysaccharide produced by probiotic Bacillus licheniformis AG-06 from Indian polyherbal fermented traditional medicine.

Abstract
An exopolysaccharide (EPS) was purified from the probiotic bacterium Bacillus licheniformis AG-06 isolated from the polyherbal fermented traditional medicine (Ashwagandharishta) of Indian Ayurveda. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) based compositional analysis exhibits the heteropolymeric nature of the EPS consisting of galactose, rhamnose, xylose, mannose, and glucose, as the monomeric units. Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopic analyses confirm the presence of typical carbohydrate polymer functional groups and structural units, respectively. The purified EPS demonstrates the web-like fibrous and porous nature in scanning electron microscopic and atomic force microscopic studies. The purified EPS had shown 71.83% and 67.79% of flocculation and emulsification activities, respectively. Antioxidant activity was evaluated against 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS), nitric oxide, and superoxide free radicals and the scavenging actions were increased in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, the purified EPS exhibits a significant cytotoxic activity against the human lung carcinoma cells (A549), which strongly suggests the anticancer potential of the EPS derived from B. licheniformis AG-06.

Abstract
The occurrence of inflammatory responses in humans is frequently associated with food intolerances and is likely to give rise to irritable bowel disease. The use of conventional or unconventional flours to produce gluten-free baking doughs brings important technological and nutritional challenges, and the use of the sourdough biotechnology has the potential to overcome such limitations. In addition, the typical metabolic transformations carried out by Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) can become an important biotechnological process for the nutritional fortification and functionalization of sourdoughs due to the resulting postbiotics. In such a context, this research work aimed at isolating and selecting new LAB strains that resort to a wide range of natural environments and food matrices to be ultimately employed as starter cultures in gluten-free sourdough fermentations. Nineteen LAB strains belonging to the genera of Lactobacillus, Leuconostoc, Pediococcus, and Streptococcus were isolated, and the selection criteria encompassed their acidification capacity in fermentations carried out on chickpea, quinoa, and buckwheat flour extracts; the capacity to produce exopolysaccharides (EPS); and the antimicrobial activity against food spoilage molds and bacteria. Moreover, the stability of the LAB metabolites after the fermentation of the gluten-free flour extracts submitted to thermal and acidic treatments was also assessed.
