Characterization of the exopolysaccharide produced by Pediococcus acidilactici S1 and its effect on the gel properties of fat substitute meat mince. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 270:132262. [PMID: 38734356 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.132262] [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: 05/16/2023] [Revised: 04/25/2024] [Accepted: 05/08/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024]
Abstract
Exopolysaccharide produced by lactic acid bacteria has various functions. In the present study, one anti-oxidant polysaccharide fraction, namely S1-EPS, was extracted and purified from Pediococcus acidilactici S1, and its structure and its potential effect on the gel properties of fat substitute meat mince were investigated. The results showed that S1-EPS, one of homogeneous polysaccharides, was mainly composed of Gal, Glc, and Man in molar ratio of 7.61: 15.25: 77.13 and molecular weight of 46.975 kDa. The backbone of EPS-S1 contained →2,6)-α-D-Manp-(1→,→2)-α-D-Manp-(1→,→3)-α-D-Glcp-(1 → and a small amount of→6)-β-D-Manp-(1→. The linkages of branches in EPS-S1 were mainly composed of α-D-Manp-(1→ attached to a sugar residue →2,6)-α-D-Manp-(1→O-2 or β-D-Galp-(1→ attached to a sugar residue →2,6)-α-D-Manp-(1→O-6. Furthermore, as S1-EPS increased, the meat minced gel pores decreased, and the surface became smooth. A remarkable inhibitory effect on the lipid oxidation of meat minced gel was found as S1-EPS concentration increased. Overall, S1-EPS was found to have substantial potential in low-fat meat products by serving as a natural, anti-oxidant, and functional additive.

Abstract
Lactic acid bacteria of the genus Weissella contribute to spontaneous fermentation in, e.g., sourdough or sauerkraut, but are not registered as starter cultures because of their pending safety assessment. Some strains are able to produce high amounts of exopolysaccharides. This study aims to demonstrate the techno-functionality of five dextrans from W. cibaria DSM14295, produced under varying cultivation conditions, with respect to structural and macromolecular properties. A maximum of 23.1 g/L dextran was achieved by applying the "cold shift" temperature regime. The dextrans differed in molecular mass (9-22∙108 Da, determined by HPSEC-RI/MALLS), intrinsic viscosity (52-73 mL/g), degree of branching (3.8-5.7 % at position O3, determined by methylation analysis) and their side chain length and architecture, determined by HPAEC-PAD after enzymatic hydrolysis. Stiffness of acid gels from milk spiked with these dextrans increased linearly with dextran concentration. Principal component analysis showed that dextrans produced in a semi-defined medium are primarily described by moisture sorption and branching properties, whereas dextrans produced in whey permeate were similar because of their functional and macromolecular properties. Overall, dextrans from W. cibaria DSM14295 have a high potential because of the high production yield and their functionality which can be tailored by the conditions during fermentation.

Abstract
Plants, animals, bacteria, and food waste are subjects of intensive research, as they are biological sources for the production of biopolymers. The topic links to global challenges related to the extended life cycle of products, and circular economy objectives. A severe and well-known threat to the environment, the non-biodegradability of plastics obliges different stakeholders to find legislative and technical solutions for producing valuable polymers which are biodegradable and also exhibit better characteristics for packaging products. Microorganisms are recognized nowadays as exciting sources for the production of biopolymers with applications in the food industry, package production, and several other fields. Ubiquitous organisms, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are well studied for the production of exopolysaccharides (EPS), but much less as producers of polylactic acid (PLA) and polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs). Based on their good biodegradability feature, as well as the possibility to be obtained from cheap biomass, PLA and PHAs polymers currently receive increased attention from both research and industry. The present review aims to provide an overview of LAB strains' characteristics that render them candidates for the biosynthesis of EPS, PLA, and PHAs, respectively. Further, the biopolymers' features are described in correlation with their application in different food industry fields and for food packaging. Having in view that the production costs of the polymers constitute their major drawback, alternative solutions of biosynthesis in economic terms are discussed.

[PMID: 36869552 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2023.112570] [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: 11/29/2022] [Revised: 01/27/2023] [Accepted: 01/30/2023] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
The application of pea flour (PF) was restricted by the resulting non-satisfying texture of food with a high addition level of PF. Four lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains with the ability to synthesize dextran (DX) were used to ferment PF in order to modify the texture of PF pastes, screen out promising DX producers, and evaluate the role of the in-situ-produced DX in texture modification. The microbial growth, acidity, and DX contents of PF pastes were first analyzed. Then, the rheological and textural properties of PF pastes after fermentation were assessed. After this, the in-situ-produced DXs in PF pastes were further hydrolyzed, and the corresponding changes were studied. Finally, the protein and starch in PF pastes were hydrolyzed separately to evaluate the role of macromolecular interactions between DX and protein/starch in the texture modification of PF pastes. The four LAB strains were all dominant in PF pastes, and the in-situ-produced DXs by these four strains played a critical role in the texture modification of PF pastes. Among the four DX-positive strains, Ln. pseudomesenteroides DSM 20193 and W. cibaria DSM 15878 were promising DX producers in PF-based media due to their high capacity in synthesizing DX and texture modification. The in-situ-produced DX promoted the formation of a porous network structure that was important for water-holding and texture-retaining. The DX-protein interaction contributed more to the texture modification of PF pastes than did the DX-starch interaction. This study clearly showed the role of the in-situ-produced DX and the DX-protein/starch interactions in the texture modification of PF pastes, which could further guide the utilization of in-situ-produced DXs in legume-based food and promote the exploitation of plant proteins.

Abstract
Phase separation is one of the primary quality control issues for plant-based beverages during storage. This study applied the in-situ-produced dextran (DX) from Leuconostoc citreum DSM 5577 to solve this problem. Rice flour milled from broken rice was used as the raw material and Ln. citreum DSM 5577 as the starter to prepare rice-protein yogurt (RPY) under different processing conditions. The microbial growth, acidification, viscosity change, and DX content were first analyzed. Then, the proteolysis of rice protein was evaluated, and the role of the in-situ-synthesized DX in viscosity improvement was explored. Finally, the in-situ-synthesized DXs in RPYs under different processing conditions were purified and characterized. The in-situ-produced DX caused a viscosity increase up to 1.84 Pa s in RPY and played a major role in this improvement by forming a new network with high water-binding capacity. The processing conditions affected the content and the molecular features of DXs, with a DX content up to 9.45 mg/100 mg. A low-branched DX (5.79 %) with a high aggregating ability possessed a stronger thickening ability in RPY. This study may guide the application of the in-situ-synthesized DX in plant protein foods and may promote the utilization of broken rice in the food industry.

Proteomic and in silico analyses of dextran synthesis influence on Leuconostoc lactis AV1n adaptation to temperature change. Front Microbiol 2023; 13:1077375. [PMID: 36713162 PMCID: PMC9875047 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.1077375] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2022] [Accepted: 12/16/2022] [Indexed: 01/12/2023] Open
Abstract
Leuconostoc lactis is found in vegetables, fruits, and meat and is used by the food industry in the preparation of dairy products, wines, and sugars. We have previously demonstrated that the dextransucrase of Lc. lactis (DsrLL) AV1n produces a high-molecular-weight dextran from sucrose, indicating its potential use as a dextran-forming starter culture. We have also shown that this bacterium was able to produce 10-fold higher levels of dextran at 20°C than at 37°C, at the former temperature accompanied by an increase in dsrLL gene expression. However, the general physiological response of Lc. lactis AV1n to cold temperature in the presence of sucrose, leading to increased production of dextran, has not been yet investigated. Therefore, we have used a quantitative proteomics approach to investigate the cold temperature-induced changes in the proteomic profile of this strain in comparison to its proteomic response at 37°C. In total, 337 proteins were found to be differentially expressed at the applied significance criteria (adjusted p-value ≤ 0.05, FDR 5%, and with a fold-change ≥ 1.5 or ≤ 0.67) with 204 proteins overexpressed, among which 13% were involved in protein as well as cell wall, and envelope component biosynthesis including DsrLL. Proteins implicated in cold stress were expressed at a high level at 20°C and possibly play a role in the upregulation of DsrLL, allowing the efficient synthesis of the protein essential for its adaptation to cold. Post-transcriptional regulation of DsrLL expression also seems to take place through the interplay of exonucleases and endonucleases overexpressed at 20°C, which would influence the half-life of the dsrLL transcript. Furthermore, the mechanism of cold resistance of Lc. lactis AV1n seems to be also based on energy saving through a decrease in growth rate mediated by a decrease in carbohydrate metabolism and its orientation toward the production pathways for storage molecules. Thus, this better understanding of the responses to low temperature and mechanisms for environmental adaptation of Lc. lactis could be exploited for industrial use of strains belonging to this species.

Abstract
Ensuring a sustainable supply of food for the world’s fast growing population is a major challenge in today’s economy, as modern lifestyle and increasing consumer concern with maintaining a balanced and nutritious diet is an important challenge for the agricultural sector worldwide. This market niche for healthier products, especially fruits and vegetables, has increased their production, consequently resulting in increased amounts of agri-food surplus, waste, and loss (SWL) generated during crop production, transportation, storage, and processing. Although many of these materials are not utilized, negatively affecting the environmental, economic, and social segments, they are a rich source of valuable compounds that could be used for different purposes, thus preventing the losses of natural resources and boosting a circular economy. This review aimed to give insights on the efficient management of agri-food SWL, considering conventional and emerging recovery and reuse techniques. Particularly, we explored and summarized the chemical composition of three worldwide cultivated and consumed vegetables (carrots, broccoli and lettuce) and evaluate the potential of their residues as a sustainable alternative for extracting value-added ingredients for the development of new biodynamic products.

Abstract
Weissella strains have been reported to be useful in biotechnological and probiotic determinations, and some of them are considered opportunistic pathogens. Given the widespread interest about antimicrobial susceptibilities, transmission of resistances, and virulence factors, there is little research available on such topics for Weissella. The aim of this study was to assess the safety aspects and antimicrobial potential of 54 Weissella spp. strains from different environmental sources. Antibiotic susceptibility, hemolytic activity, horizontal transfer, and antibacterial activity were studied, as well as the detection of biogenic amine BA production on decarboxylase medium and PCR was performed. All the strains were nonhemolytic and sensitive to chloramphenicol and ampicillin. Several strains were classified as resistant to fusidic acid, and very low resistance rates were detected to ciprofloxacin, tetracycline, streptomycin, lincomycin, erythromycin, and rifampicin, although all strains had intrinsic resistance to vancomycin, nalidixic acid, kanamycin, and teicoplanin. Two BA‐producing strains (W. halotolerans FAS30 and FAS29) exhibited tyrosine decarboxylase activity, and just one W. confusa FS077 produced both tyramine and histamine, and their genetic determinants were identified. Ornithine decarboxylase/odc gene was found in 16 of the Weissella strains, although 3 of them synthesize putrescine. Interestingly, eight strains with good properties displayed antibacterial activity. Conjugation frequencies of erythromycin from Bacillus to Weissella spp. varied in the average of 3 × 10−9 transconjugants/recipient. However, no tetracycline‐resistant transconjugant was obtained with Enterococcus faecalis JH2‐2 as recipient. The obtained results support the safe status of Weissella strains, derived from environmental sources, when used as probiotics in animal feed.

Abstract
The current state-of-art research pertaining to lactic acid bacteria (LAB) calls for the screening and isolation of robust LAB strains to achieve holistic exploitation of LAB and their metabolites of marketable importance.

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
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
Microbial polysaccharides have interesting and attractive characteristics for the food industry, especially when produced by food grade bacteria. Polysaccharides produced by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) during fermentation are extracellular macromolecules of either homo or hetero polysaccharidic nature, and can be classified according to their chemical composition and structure. The most prominent exopolysaccharide (EPS) producing lactic acid bacteria are Lactobacillus, Leuconostoc, Weissella, Lactococcus, Streptococcus, Pediococcus and Bifidobacterium sp. The EPS biosynthesis and regulation pathways are under the dependence of numerous factors as producing-species or strain, nutrient availability, and environmental conditions, resulting in varied carbohydrate compositions and beneficial properties. The interest is growing for fruits and vegetables fermented products, as new functional foods, and the present review is focused on exploring the EPS that could derive from lactic fermented fruit and vegetables. The chemical composition, biosynthetic pathways of EPS and their regulation mode is reported. The consequences of EPS on food quality, especially texture, are explored in relation to producing species. Attention is given to the scientific investigations on health benefits attributed to EPS such as prebiotic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and cholesterol lowering activities.

Abstract
High molecular weight dextrans improve the rheological properties of fermented products and have immunomodulatory and antiviral activity. We report on 5.84 × 107-2.61 × 108 Da dextrans produced by Leuconostoc lactis AV1n, Weissella cibaria AV2ou and Weissella confusa V30 and FS54 strains. Dextransucrases catalyze dextran synthesis by sucrose hydrolysis concomitant with fructose generation. The four bacteria have dextransucrases with molecular weight of about 160 kDa detected by zymograms. Each bacterium showed different interplay of dextran production and metabolic fluxes. All bacteria produced lactate, and AV2ou apart, synthesized mannitol from fructose. FS54 hydrolyzed dextran blue and the concentration of dextran produced by this bacterium decreased during the stationary phase. The AV1n binding to Caco-2 cells and polystyrene plates was higher under conditions for dextran synthesis. Thus, this is the first instance of a Weissella dextranase, associated with a dextransucrase ability, and of a positive influence of dextran on adhesion and aggregation properties of a bacterium.

Waste bread recycling as a baking ingredient by tailored lactic acid fermentation. Int J Food Microbiol 2020; 327:108652.

Abstract
Food-grade waste and side streams should be strictly kept in food use in order to achieve sustainable food systems. At present, the baking industry creates food-grade waste as excess and deformed products that are mainly utilized for non-food uses, such as bioethanol production. The purpose of this study was therefore to explore the potential of waste wheat bread recycling for fresh wheat bread production. Waste bread recycling was assessed without further processing or after tailored fermentation with lactic acid bacteria producing either dextran or β-glucan exopolysaccharides. When non-treated waste bread slurry was added to new bread dough, bread quality (specific volume and softness) decreased with increasing content of waste bread addition. In situ EPS-production (dextran and microbial β-glucan) significantly increased waste bread slurry viscosity and yielded residual fructose or glucose that could effectively replace the sugar added for yeast leavening. Furthermore, fermentation acidified waste bread matrix, thus improving the hygienic safety of the process. Bread containing dextran synthesized in situ by Weissella confusa A16 showed good technological quality. The produced dextran compensated the adverse effect of recycled bread on new bread quality attributes by 12% increase in bread specific volume and 37% decrease in crumb hardness. In this study, a positive technological outcome of the bread containing microbial β-glucan was not detected. The waste bread fermented by W. confusa A16 containing dextran appears to enable safe bread recycling with low acidity and minimal quality loss.

Abstract
Numerous traditional low-alcohol fermented beverages produced from fruit or vegetables are described around the world. Fruit and vegetables and lactic fermented products both present nutritional benefits, which give reasons for the recent expansion of non-dairy lactic fermented juices on the market. In addition, fruit and vegetable juices are new carriers for probiotic bacteria. Specific phenotypic traits of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are required so that LAB can effectively grow in fruit or vegetable juices, increase their safety and improve their sensory and nutritional quality. From the diversity of microbiota of spontaneous fermentations, autochthonous starters can be selected, and their higher performance than allochthonous LAB was demonstrated. Achieving long-term storage and constant high quality of these beverages requires additional processing steps, such as heat treatment. Alternatives to conventional treatments are investigated as they can better preserve nutritional properties, extract bioactive compounds and promote the growth and metabolism of LAB. Specific processing approaches were shown to increase probiotic viability of fruit and vegetable juices. More knowledge on the metabolic activity of lactic acid bacterium consortium in fruit or vegetable juices has become a bottleneck for the understanding and the prediction of changes in bioactive compounds for functional beverages development. Hopefully, the recent developments of metabolomics and methods to describe enzymatic machinery can result in the reconstruction of fermentative pathways.

Abstract
The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of a reduced pH value (5.1 instead of 5.5 to 5.6) on the properties of highly perishable, spreadable raw fermented sausages (onion mettwurst) with or without the addition of homopolysaccharide (HoPS)-producing lactic acid bacteria (LAB). Hence, sausages with HoPS-producing LAB and a pH value of 5.1 were produced and compared to sausages (pH 5.1) produced with a non-exopolysaccharide (EPS)-forming strain (Lactobacillus sakei TMW 1.2037). Microbial growth and pH values were monitored during processing (24 °C for 48 hr, 10 °C for 24 hr) and storage (14 days at 0 to 2 °C). Furthermore, fat (Weibull-Stoldt) and EPS contents were determined in the final products. Sausages were characterized using texture profile and sensory analysis. The fat contents ranged from 16% to 19% and the determined EPS concentrations ranged from 0.17 to 0.59 g/kg for L. sakei TMW 1.411 and Lactobacillus curvatus TMW 1.1928 and from 0.67 to 1.58 g/kg for L. curvatus TMW 1.51. The strains L. sakei TMW 1.411 and L. curvatus TMW 1.51 reduced the hardness of the samples significantly (P < 0.05) compared to the control samples. Regarding spreadability and mouthfeel, sausages containing an EPS-forming culture were rated slightly better than the control samples and the taste was not negatively influenced. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: This study clearly demonstrated that it is promising to apply HoPS-producing LAB to maintain the spreadability of pH-reduced (pH 5.1) spreadable raw fermented onion mettwurst, which may prospectively give the opportunity to increase the safety of this highly perishable product.

Abstract
Production of exopolysaccharides (EPS) is one of the unique features of Lactobacillus genus. EPS not only have many physiological roles such as in stress tolerance, quorum sensing and biofilm formation, but also have numerous applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries. In this study, we identified and compared EPS biosynthesis gene clusters in 106 sequenced Lactobacillus genomes representing 27 species. Of the 146 identified clusters, only 41 showed the typical generic organization of genes as reported earlier. Hierarchical clustering showed highly varied nature of the clusters in terms of the gene composition; nonetheless, habitat-wise grouping was observed for the gene clusters from host-adapted and nomadic strains. Of the core genes required for EPS biosynthesis, epsA, B, C, D and E showed higher conservation, whereas gt, wzx and wzy showed high variability in terms of the number and composition of the protein families. Analysis of the distribution pattern of the protein families indicated a higher proportion of mutually exclusive families in clusters from host-adapted and nomadic strains, whereas those from the free-living group had very few unique families. Taken together, this analysis highlights high variability in the EPS gene clusters amongst Lactobacillus with some of their properties correlated to the habitats.

Abstract
Fermented foods are experiencing a resurgence due to the consumers' growing interest in foods that are natural and health promoting. Microbial fermentation is a biotechnological process which transforms food raw materials into palatable, nutritious and healthy food products. Fermentation imparts unique aroma, flavor and texture to food, improves digestibility, degrades anti-nutritional factors, toxins and allergens, converts phytochemicals such as polyphenols into more bioactive and bioavailable forms, and enriches the nutritional quality of food. Fermentation also modifies the physical functional properties of food materials, rendering them differentiated ingredients for use in formulated foods. The science of fermentation and the technological and health functionality of fermented foods is reviewed considering the growing interest worldwide in fermented foods and beverages and the huge potential of the technology for reducing food loss and improving nutritional food security.

Abstract
Phyllosphere microorganisms are common contaminants of fruit or vegetable containing foods. The aim of this study was to identify and characterize lactic acid bacteria isolated from fruits and vegetables from Reunion Island, regarding possible application in food. Among 77 isolates, a large diversity of species was observed, with isolates belonging to Lactobacillus plantarum (3 isolates), other species of Lactobacillus (3), Lactococcus lactis (13), Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides (25), Leuconostoc lactis (1), Leuconostoc mesenteroides (7), Leuconostoc citreum (14), Weissella cibaria (4), Weissella confusa (4), other species of Weissella (2) and Fructobacillus tropaeoli (1). Several of these species, although belonging to lactic acid bacteria, are poorly characterized, because of their low occurrence in dairy products. Lactobacillus, Lactococcus, Leuconostoc and Weissella isolates were classified by (GTG)5 fingerprinting in 3, 6, 21 and 10 genetic groups, respectively, suggesting a large intra-species diversity. Several Weissella and Lactobacillus isolates were particularly tolerant to acid and osmotic stress, whereas Lc. pseudomesenteroides 60 was highly tolerant to oxidative stress. Isolates of Weissella 30, 64 and 58, Leuconostoc 60 and 12b, Lactobacillus 75 and Fructobacillus 77 present relevant characteristics for their use as starters or as preservative cultures for fruits and vegetables.

Abstract
Rheological properties and supramolecular structure of the exopolysaccharide (EPS) secreted by Lactobacillus fermentum MTCC 25067 were investigated. The critical concentration representing the lower-limit of the semi-dilute regime was estimated to be 0.71 g/L from the concentration dependence of zero-shear specific viscosity. The storage modulus (G') of a 20 g/L EPS solution was greater than the loss modulus (G″) at 0.1-25 Hz. Approximately linear increases in G' and G″ determined at a frequency of 1 Hz and a strain of 0.01 during cooling from 80 to 25 °C were an indication that the EPS did not undergo thermally-induced cooperative conformational transitions typical of gelling polysaccharides. Atomic force microscopy images revealed that EPS molecules were not completely dissociated into individual molecules in an aqueous solution but remained to form three-dimensional networks. The gel-like dynamic viscoelasticity of the 20 g/L EPS solution was thus attributed to the existence of supramolecular assemblies resulting from significant degrees of intermolecular association of the EPS in the solution.

Techno-Functional Role of Exopolysaccharides in Cereal-Based, Yogurt-Like Beverages. BEVERAGES 2019. [DOI: 10.3390/beverages5010016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
This review describes the technical and functional role of exopolysaccharides (EPSs) in cereal-based, yogurt-like beverages. Many microorganisms produce EPSs as a strategy for growing, adhering to solid surfaces, and surviving under adverse conditions. In several food and beverages, EPSs play technical and functional roles. Therefore, EPSs can be isolated, purified, and added to the product, or appropriate bacteria can be employed as starter cultures to produce the EPSs in situ within the matrix. The exploitation of in situ production of EPSs is of particular interest to manufacturers of cereal-base beverages aiming to mimic dairy products. In this review, traditional and innovative or experimental cereal-based beverages, and in particular, yogurt-like beverages are described with a particular focus in lactic acid bacteria (LAB’s) EPS production. The aim of this review is to present an overview of the current knowledge of exopolysaccharides produced by lactic acid bacteria, and their presence in cereal-based, yogurt-like beverages.

Nutritional and Microbiological Quality of Tiger Nut Tubers (Cyperus esculentus), Derived Plant-Based and Lactic Fermented Beverages. FERMENTATION-BASEL 2018.

Abstract
Tiger nut (Cyperus esculentus) is a tuber that can be consumed raw or processed into beverages. Its nutritional composition shows a high content of lipid and dietary fiber, close to those of nuts, and a high content of starch, like in other tubers. Tiger nuts also contain high levels of phosphorus, calcium, and phenolic compounds, which contribute to their antioxidant activity. From those characteristics, tiger nuts and derived beverages are particularly relevant to limit food insecurity in regions where the plant can grow. In Europe and United States, the tiger nut derived beverages are of high interest as alternatives to milk and for gluten-free diets. Fermentation or addition of probiotic cultures to tiger nut beverages has proven the ability of lactic acid bacteria to acidify the beverages. Preliminary sensory assays concluded that acceptable products are obtained. In the absence of pasteurization, the safety of tiger nut-based beverages is not warranted. In spite of fermentation, some foodborne pathogens or mycotoxigenic fungi have been observed in fermented beverages. Further studies are required to select a tailored bacterial cocktail which would effectively dominate endogenous flora, preserve bioactive compounds and result in a well-accepted beverage.

Abstract
Levans and inulins are fructans with mainly β-(2→6) and β-(2→1) linkages, respectively. Levans are produced by many lactic acid bacteria, e.g. during sourdough fermentation. Levans have shown prebiotic properties and may also function as in situ-produced hydrocolloids. So far, levan contents have been measured by acid hydrolysis, which cannot distinguish levans from e.g. inulins. In order to develop a specific analysis for levan in food matrices, a Paenibacillus amylolyticus endolevanase was combined with exoinulinase for levan hydrolysis. A separate endoinulinase treatment was used to detect the possible presence of inulin. Interfering sugars were removed by a pre-wash with aqueous ethanol. Levan content was estimated from fructose and glucose released in the hydrolysis, with a correction made for the residual fructose and glucose-containing sugars. The method was validated using wheat model doughs spiked with commercial Erwinia levan, and tested by analyzing levan content in Leuconostoc mesenteroides DSM 20343-fermented fava bean doughs.

Abstract
The interest towards legumes in food applications has risen over the past decades. However, the presence of antinutritional factors (ANF) and the poor technological performances still restricts their application in food fortification. In this study, four lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from faba bean were applied as starter cultures for faba bean bioprocessing. None of the strains employed produced exopolysaccharides from raffinose, on the contrary, they did with sucrose as substrate. The fermented doughs were characterized and the strains were compared for their adaptation capacity and metabolic performance including the formation of dextrans, the degradation of ANF and the ability to improve antioxidant activity and in vitro protein digestibility (IVPD). A contribution to the proteolysis was given by the presence of endogenous enzymes, responsible for the increase of peptides and amino acids in dough from irradiated flour. However, the LAB strains further enhanced proteolysis. Weissella cibaria VTT E-153485 led to the highest peptide release and consequentially to the highest IVPD. In doughs fermented with Pediococcus pentosaceus VTT E-153483 and Leuconostoc kimchi VTT E-153484, phytic acid was reduced to more than half the initial concentration. Inoculated doughs had significantly lower content of oligosaccharides after 24 h of incubation compared to the controls. The most efficient raffinose consumption was found for Leuc. kimchi and W. cibaria. Doughs inoculated with weissellas contained >1% of dextrans. Weissella confusa VTT E-143403 induced a significant increment in viscosity (ca. 7 times higher than the controls). This study revealed that well-characterized, indigenous LAB provided beneficial biotechnological features in faba bean dough processing and contributed to its implementation in the food production.

Impact of in situ produced exopolysaccharides on rheology and texture of fava bean protein concentrate. Food Res Int 2018; 115:191-199.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of in situ produced exopolysaccharides (EPS) on the rheological and textural properties of fava bean protein concentrate (FPC). EPS (dextrans) were produced from sucrose by two lactic acid bacteria (LAB). The acidification, rheology, and texture of FPC pastes fermented with Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides DSM 20193 and Weissella confusa VTT E-143403 (E3403) were compared. A clear improvement in rheological and textural parameters was observed in sucrose-added pastes after fermentation, especially with W. confusa VTT E3403. Only moderate proteolysis of fava bean protein during fermentation was observed. The microstructure of the protein in FPC pastes, as observed by confocal laser scanning microscopy, revealed a less continuous and denser structure in EPS-abundant pastes. The beneficial structure formed during EPS-producing fermentation could not be mimicked by simply mixing FPC, isolated dextran, lactic acid, and acetic acid with water. These results emphasize the benefits of in situ produced EPS in connection with the LAB fermentation of legume protein-rich foods. Fermentation with EPS-producing LAB is a cost-effective and clean-labeled technology to obtain tailored textures, and it can further enhance the usability of legumes in novel foods.

Abstract
Lactobacillus casei LC2W, a probiotic strain, can produce exopolysaccharide (EPS) with anti-hypertensive bioactivity. The relationship between eps genes and EPS synthesis in LC2W due to unclear regulation mechanism of EPS biosynthesis was investigated. The several relevant genes in EPS biosynthetic gene cluster were deleted, overexpressed and complemented. The results suggested that glucose-1-phosphate thymidyltranseferase gene (LC2W_2179), uncharacterized EPS biosynthesis protein (LC2W_2188), and EPS biosynthesis protein (LC2W_2189) were related to EPS biosynthesis. EPS titer decreased 15, 13, and 21% when the three genes were deleted, respectively. When they were overexpressed, EPS titer increased 16, 10, and 18%. When they were complemented, EPS titer was similar to the wild-type strain. This work showed the three eps genes from LC2W played important roles on EPS production.

Abstract
Weissella cibaria 27 (W27) is a new lactic acid bacterium which has been screened from kimchi, and is important in diary fermentation. This is first-attempt to understand the effects of sucrose and achieve the highest exopolysaccharide (EPS) productivity from W27. The metabolic compounds of lactic acid, acetic acid and ethanol are at similar levels when the cultures with glucose or lactose; except for EPS is significantly increased up to 24.8 g/L with 60 g/L of sucrose. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results reveal cell length changing shorter after sucrose addition. By Taguchi's approach, an L9 orthogonal array was adopted to evaluate the effects of culture were ranked according to the EPS production as temperature > time > initial pH, in which optimal conditions were at 22°C and pH 6.2 for 24 h. The major composition of EPS is dextran of α-1,6 glycosidic linkage with molecular weight of 1.2 x 107 Da by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and high-performance size-exclusion chromatography (HPSEC) analysis. The surface property of W27 induced by sucrose is become more hydrophobic to better inhibit bacteria. The simple cultural approach for this new dextran producing strain, W27, has potential in the food, feed, antibacterial agent, and cosmetic industry.

Abstract
Among other fermentation processes, lactic acid fermentation is a valuable process which enhances the safety, nutritional and sensory properties of food. The use of starters is recommended compared to spontaneous fermentation, from a safety point of view but also to ensure a better control of product functional and sensory properties. Starters are used for dairy products, sourdough, wine, meat, sauerkraut and homemade foods and beverages from dairy or vegetal origin. Among lactic acid bacteria, Lactobacillus, Lactococcus, Leuconostoc, Streptococcus and Pediococcus are the majors genera used as starters whereas Weissella is not. Weissella spp. are frequently isolated from spontaneous fermented foods and participate to the characteristics of the fermented product. They possess a large set of functional and technological properties, which can enhance safety, nutritional and sensory characteristics of food. Particularly, Weissella cibaria and Weissella confusa have been described as high producers of exo-polysaccharides, which exhibit texturizing properties. Numerous bacteriocins have been purified from Weissella hellenica strains and may be used as bio-preservative. Some Weissella strains are able to decarboxylate polymeric phenolic compounds resulting in a better bioavailability. Other Weissella strains showed resistance to low pH and bile salts and were isolated from healthy human feces, suggesting their potential as probiotics. Despite all these features, the use of Weissella spp. as commercial starters remained non-investigated. Potential biogenic amine production, antibiotic resistance pattern or infection hazard partly explains this neglecting. Besides, Weissella spp. are not recognized as GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe). However, Weissella spp. are potential powerful starters for food fermentation as well as Lactococcus, Leuconostoc or Lactobacillus species.

Abstract
Bacterial exopolysaccharides produced by lactic acid bacteria are of increasing interest in the food industry, since they might enhance the technological and functional properties of some edible matrices. In this work, Pediococcus parvulus 2.6, which produces an O2-substituted (1,3)-β-d-glucan exopolysaccharide only synthesised by bacteria, was proposed as a starter culture for the production of three cereal-based fermented foods. The obtained fermented matrices were naturally bio-fortified in microbial β-glucans, and used to investigate the prebiotic potential of the bacterial exopolysaccharide by analysing the impact on the survival of a probiotic Lactobacillus plantarum strain under starvation and gastrointestinal simulated conditions. All of the assays were performed by using as control of the P. parvulus 2.6's performance, the isogenic β-glucan non-producing 2.6NR strain. Our results showed a differential capability of P. parvulus to ferment the cereal flours. During the fermentation step, the β-glucans produced were specifically quantified and their concentration correlated with an increased viscosity of the products. The survival of the model probiotic L. plantarum WCFS1 was improved by the presence of the bacterial β-glucans in oat and rice fermented foods under starvation conditions. The probiotic bacteria showed a significantly higher viability when submitted to a simulated intestinal stress in the oat matrix fermented by the 2.6 strain. Therefore, the cereal flours were a suitable substrate for in situ bio-fortification with the bacterial β-glucan, and these matrices could be used as carriers to enhance the beneficial properties of probiotic bacteria.

Abstract
Consumption of legumes is highly recommended due to their beneficial properties. Thus, there is a great interest in developing new legume-based products with good texture. In situ produced microbial exopolysaccharides (EPS) are regarded as efficient texture modifiers in the food industry. In this study, soybean and fava bean flours with different levels of added sucrose were fermented by Leuconostoc mesenteroides DSM 20343. After fermentation, a significant increase in viscosity was observed. Sugars, glucans, fructans, mannitol, lactic acid, and acetic acid were quantified to follow the EPS and metabolite production. By treating the fermented doughs selectively with dextranase or levanase, the major role of glucans in viscosity improvement was confirmed. The roles of microbial fructansucrase and endogenous α-galactosidase in degradation of raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFO) were also investigated. This study shows the potential of Ln. mesenteroides DSM 20343 in tailoring viscosity and RFO profiles in soybean and fava bean flours.

Abstract
Fava bean flour is regarded as a potential plant-based protein source, but the addition of it at high concentration is restricted by its poor texture-improving ability and by anti-nutritional factors (ANF). Exopolysaccharides (EPS) produced by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are regarded as good texture modifiers. In this study, fava bean flour was fermented with Leuconostoc spp. and Weissella spp. with or without sucrose addition, in order to evaluate their potential in EPS production. The contents of free sugars, organic acids, mannitol and EPS in all fermented fava bean doughs were measured. Rheological properties of sucrose-enriched doughs, including viscosity flow curves, hysteresis loop and dynamic oscillatory sweep curves, were measured after fermentation. As one of the ANF, the degradation of raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFO) was also studied by analyzing RFO profiles of different doughs. Quantification of EPS revealed the potential of Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides DSM 20193 in EPS production, and the rheological analysis showed that the polymers produced by this strain has the highest thickening and gelling capability. Furthermore, the viscous fava bean doughs containing plant proteins and synthesized in situ EPS may have a potential application in the food industry and fulfill consumers' increasing demands for "clean labels" and plant-originated food materials.

Abstract
Leuconostoc garlicum KCCM 43211 isolated from traditional Korean fermented food is an intensive producer of exopolysaccharide (EPS). Here we report the first complete genome sequence of L. garlicum KCCM 43211. The genome sequence displayed that this strain contains genes involved in production of EPS possibly composed of glucose monomers. An uncharacterized EPS from the L. garlicum KCCM 43211 strains was also produced during fermentation in the sucrose medium. The MALDI-TOF results displayed the typical mass spectrometry pattern of dextran. This uncharacterized EPS may have use in commercial prebiotics, food additives, and medical purposes. The complete genome sequence of L. garlicum KCCM 43211 will provide valuable information for strain engineering based on the genetic information.
