Phovisay S, Abdullahi AD, Kham NNN, Unban K, Shetty K, Khanongnuch C. Microbial Population and Physicochemical Properties of Miang Fermented in Bamboo Tubes by the Luar Ethnic Group in Lao PDR. Foods 2024; 13:2109. [PMID: 38998615 PMCID: PMC11241543 DOI: 10.3390/foods13132109] [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: 06/02/2024] [Revised: 06/23/2024] [Accepted: 06/25/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Miang is a traditional fermented food made from Assam tea leaves and consumed as a snack. This study investigated the underground Miang fermentation process practiced by the Luar ethnic group in Laos, specifically examining the nutritional composition and microbial dynamics. Lactic acid bacteria and yeast were dominant in the fermentation process, reaching 8.43 and 8.50 log CFU/g after one week before gradually declining, while the coliform bacterial count was at 5.31 log CFU/g in the initial week but became undetectable in the later stages of fermentation. Next-generation sequencing identified Firmicutes (75.02%) and Proteobacteria (23.51%) as the primary phyla. Bacterial genera included Lactobacillus (73.36%) and Acetobacter (21.06%), with fungi mainly represented by Pichia (85.52%) and Candida (13.45%). Fundamental microbes such as Lactobacillus and Acetobacter were predominantly present, alongside Pichia and Candida, in the fungal communities. Microbial activities played a crucial role in generating essential enzymes for Miang's transformation. The nutritional transformation appears to be complete at 5 weeks of fermentation. The moisture content in the final products was approximately 74% and correlated with a change in nitrogen-free extract (NFE) and crude fiber. The fat content showed a slight increase from 1.3% to 2.52%, but protein content slightly declined from 17.21% to 16.05%, whereas ash content did not change significantly. Key polysaccharide-degrading enzymes, particularly pectinase and β-mannanase, were revealed and peaked at 48.32 and 25.32 U/g Miang, respectively. The total polyphenols increased from 103.54 mg/g dry Miang to 144.19-155.52 mg/g during fermentation. The lowered IC50 value indicated an increase in antioxidant activity. A fermentation period of at least 3 weeks proved to be optimal for enhancing antioxidant properties and bioactive compounds, and mitigating the risk of coliform bacteria.

Abstract
Probiotics are live microorganisms that inhabit the gastrointestinal tract and confer health benefits to consumers. However, a sufficient number of viable probiotic cells must be delivered to the specific site of interest in the gastrointestinal tract to exert these benefits. Enhanced viability and tolerance to sublethal gastrointestinal stress can be achieved using appropriate coating materials and food matrices for orally consumed probiotics. The release mechanism and interaction of probiotic microcapsules with the gastrointestinal tract have been minimally explored in the literature to date. To the authors' knowledge, no review has been published to discuss the nature of release and the challenges in the targeted delivery of probiotics. This review addresses gastrointestinal-related complications in the formulation of targeted delivery and controlled release of probiotic strains. It investigates the impacts of environmental stresses during the transition stage and delivery to the target region in the gastrointestinal tract. The influence of factors such as pH levels, enzymatic degradation, and redox conditions on the release mechanisms of probiotics is presented. Finally, the available methods to evaluate the efficiency of a probiotic delivery system, including in vitro and in vivo, are reviewed and assessed. The paper concludes with a discussion highlighting the emerging technologies in the field and emphasising key areas in need of future study.

Preparation and characterization of pectin-alginate-based microbeads reinforced by nano montmorillonite filler for probiotics encapsulation: Improving viability and colonic colonization. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 264:130543.

Abstract
Hydrogel microbeads can be used to enhance the stability of probiotics during gastrointestinal delivery and storage. In this study, the pectin-alginate hydrogel was enhanced by adding montmorillonite filler to produce microbeads for encapsulating Lactobacillus kefiranofaciens (LK). Results showed that the viscosity of biopolymer solutions with 1 % (PAMT1) and 3 % (PAMT3) montmorillonite addition was suitable for producing regular-shaped microbeads. A layered cross-linked network was formed on the surface of PAMT3 microbeads through electrostatic interaction between pectin-alginate and montmorillonite filler, and the surrounding LK with adsorbed montmorillonite was encapsulated inside the microbeads. PAMT3 microbeads reduced the loss of viability of LK when passing through the gastric acid environment, and facilitated the slow release of LK in the intestine and colonic colonization. The maximum decrease in viability among all filler groups was 1.21 log CFU/g after two weeks of storage, while PAMT3 freeze-drying microbeads only decreased by 0.46 log CFU/g, indicating that the gel layer synergized with the adsorbed layer to provide dual protection for probiotics. Therefore, filler-reinforced microbeads are a promising bulk encapsulation carrier with great potential for the protection and delivery of probiotics and can be developed as food additives for dairy products.

Symbiotic microparticles produced through spray-drying-induced in situ alginate crosslinking for the preservation of Pediococcus pentosaceus viability. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 261:129818.

Abstract
Probiotic microorganisms are a promising alternative to antibiotics in preventing and treating bacterial infections. Within the probiotic group, the lactic acid bacteria (LAB)stand out for their health benefits and for being recognized as safe by regulatory agencies. However, these microorganisms are sensitive to various environmental conditions, including the acidic environment of the stomach. Faced with these obstacles, this work aimed to promote the symbiotic microencapsulation of LAB in a composite matrix of alginate and prebiotics to enhance their survival and improve their probiotic activity during gastrointestinal transit. We evaluated the effect of inulin, fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) and mannan-oligosaccharides (MOS) as prebiotic sources on the growth of Pediococcus pentosaceus LBM34 strain, finding that MOS favored LAB growth and maintenance of microencapsulated cell viability. The symbiotic microparticles were produced using the spray-drying technique with an average size of 10 μm, a smooth surface, and a composition that favored the stabilization of live cells according to the FTIR and the thermal analysis of the material. The best formulation was composed of 1 % of alginate, 10 % MOS and 1 % M10 (% w/v), which presented notable increases in the survival rates of the probiotic strain in both alkaline and acidic conditions. Therefore, this industrially scalable approach to symbiotic LAB microencapsulation can facilitate their growth and colonization within the host. This effort aims to contribute to reducing antibiotic reliance and mitigating the emergence of new zoonotic diseases, which pose significant challenges to public health.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease that affects >500 million patients worldwide. Subcutaneous injection of insulin is the most effective treatment at present. However, regular needle injections will cause pain, inflammation, and other adverse consequences. In recent years, significant progress has been made in non-injectable insulin preparations. Oral administration is the best way of administration due to its simplicity, convenience, and good patient compliance. However, oral insulin delivery is hindered by many physiological barriers in the gastrointestinal tract, resulting in the low relative bioavailability of direct oral insulin delivery. To improve the relative bioavailability, a variety of insulin delivery vectors have been developed. Polysaccharides are used to achieve safe and effective insulin loading due to their excellent biocompatibility and protein affinity. The functional characteristics of polysaccharide-based delivery carriers, such as pH responsiveness, mucosal adhesion, and further functionalization modifications, enhance the gastrointestinal absorption and bioavailability of insulin. This paper reviews the materials and structures of oral insulin polysaccharide-based carriers, providing ideas for further improving the relative bioavailability of oral insulin.

Abstract
Probiotics are essential to improve the health of the host, whereas maintaining the viability of probiotics in harsh environments remains a challenge. Polysaccharides have non-toxicity, excellent biocompatibility, and outstanding biodegradability, which can protect probiotics by forming a physical barrier and show a promising prospect for probiotic delivery. In this review, we summarize polysaccharides commonly used for probiotic microencapsulation and introduce the microencapsulation technologies, including extrusion, emulsion, spray drying, freeze drying, and electrohydrodynamics. We discuss strategies for better protection of probiotics and introduce the applications of polysaccharides-encapsulated probiotics in functional food, oral formulation, and animal feed. Finally, we propose the challenges of polysaccharides-based delivery systems in industrial production and application. This review will help provide insight into the advances and challenges of polysaccharides in probiotic delivery.

Abstract
Exopolysaccharides (EPSs) are naturally occurring high-molecular-weight carbohydrates that have been widely studied for their biological activities, including antioxidant, immunomodulatory, anticancer and gut microbiota regulation activities. Polysaccharides are abundant in nature and can be derived from animals, plants, algae, and microorganisms, but among polysaccharides with potential uses, EPSs from microorganisms have the advantages of a short production cycle, high yield, and independence of production from season and climate and thus have broad prospects. While the safety of the producing microorganism can represent a problem in application of microbial EPSs, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have been used by humans for thousands of years, and they and their products are generally recognized as safe. This makes LAB excellent sources for exopolysaccharides. EPS-producing LAB are readily found in nature. Through screening of strains, optimization of culture conditions, and improvement of the growth medium, the yield of EPSs from LAB can be increased and the scope of application broadened. This review summarizes EPSs from LAB in terms of structure, function and applications, as well as yield optimization, and introduces recent research on the biological activities and practical applications of LAB EPSs, aiming to provide references for researchers in related areas.

Scanning electron microscopy revealed the compact and smooth surface of pectin of DM 28 %, and the stochastic distribution of L. plantarum throughout the gel reticulation. And the pectin of DM 28 % considerably increased probiotics tolerance after continuous exposure to stimulated gastrointestinal tract conditions, with viable counts exceeding 109 CFU/mL. This data indicated that low methoxy-esterification pectin was more efficient to improve the targeted delivery of probiotics in GIT. Additionally, the controlled release of microspheres was dependent on various pH levels. At pH 7.4, the release rates of L. plantarum STB1 and L. plantarum LJ1 reached up to 97.63 % and 95.33 %, respectively. Finally, the Caco-2 cell adhesion model was used to evaluate the cell adhesion rate after encapsulation, which exhibited better adhesion at DM of 60 %.

Abstract
The potential health benefits of probiotics may not be cognized because of the substantial curtailment in their viability during food storage and passage through the gastrointestinal system. Intestinal flora composition, and resistance against pathogens are among the health benefits associated with probiotic consumption. In the gastric environment, pH 2.0, probiotics dramatically lose their viability during the transit through the gastrointestinal system. The challenge remains to maintain cell viability until it reaches the large intestine. In extreme conditions, such as a decrease in pH or an increase in temperature, encapsulation technology can enhance the viability of probiotics. Probiotic bacterial strains can be encapsulated in a variety of ways. The methods are broadly systematized into two categories, liquid and solid delivery systems. This review emphasizes the technology used in the research and commercial sectors to encapsulate probiotic cells while keeping them alive and the food matrix used to deliver these cells to consumers.

Abstract
This study examined the gel behavior of naturally-occurring palmyra palm kernel (PPK). Due to the presence of polysaccharide in PPK hydrogels, they exhibit excellent swelling behavior in response to pH. Chemotherapeutic drug 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) was encapsulated in these gels using an equilibrium swelling technique. It was found that 5-FU had an encapsulation efficiency of up to 62%. To demonstrate the drug stability in the gels, the PPK hydrogels were characterized using fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and X-ray diffraction. The results showed that the PPK hydrogel matrix contained molecularly dispersed 5-FU drug. The PPK hydrogel exhibited a denser structure and a rough surface, according to images obtained by scanning electron microscopy. In vitro release tests were carried out at pH 1.2 (gastric fluid) and 7.4 (intestinal fluid). The efficacy of the encapsulation and the release patterns were influenced by the network topology of the PPK hydrogel. The release patterns showed that 5-FU was released gradually over a time internal of more than 12 h. The findings suggest that naturally-occurring PPK hydrogels loaded with chemotherapeutic drugs could be employed to treat colon cancer.

Abstract
Probiotics are generally used as therapeutic intervention in inflammatory bowel disease. However, the low survival rate in harsh gastrointestinal environment and limited retention in intestine greatly restrict their health benefits. To address this problem, a ROS-responsive hydrogel based on hyaluronic acid (HA) was developed for encapsulation and targeted delivery of probiotics. The hydrogel was prepared facilely by physiological crosslink with methacrylated HA and thiolated thioketal. As a model probiotic, Lactobacillu reuteri showed a significantly increased survival rate in simulated digestive conditions after encapsulated in hydrogel. The negative properties conferred the hydrogel preferential adhesions to inflammation sites. Meanwhile, the excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by inflamed colon tissues selectively cleaved thioketal linkages resulted in hydrogel degradation and local probiotics release. Furthermore, the hydrogel exerted an appropriate ROS-scavenge capacity and protected HT-29 cells from oxidative damage. Animal experiments indicated that hydrogel-encapsulated L. reuteri could remarkably alleviate the symptoms and improve the survival rate of mice with dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis. These results suggested that the biocompatible hydrogel may be a delivery platform to target inflamed intestines and expand the application of probiotics as pharmaceuticals.

LACpG10-HL Functions Effectively in Antibiotic-Free and Healthy Husbandry by Improving the Innate Immunity. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms231911466.

Abstract
Antibiotics are broadly restricted in modern husbandry farming, necessitating the need for efficient and low-cost immunomodulatory preparations in antibiotic-free and healthful farming. As is known to all, CpG oligonucleotides (CpG-ODNs, an effective innate immunostimulatory agent) recognized by TLR9 in mammals (while TLR21 in avians) could collaborate with some united agent to induce stronger immune responses, but the cost is prohibitively expensive for farmers. Here, considering the coordination between TLR2 and TLR9/TLR21, we firstly proposed the idea that the well-fermented Lactococcus lactis could be utilized as a CpG-plasmid carrier (LACpG10) to enhance the host’s innate immunity against pathogenic invasion. In the present study, after obtaining LACpG10-HL from homogenized and lyophilized recombinant strain LACpG10, we treated primary chicken lymphocytes, two cell lines (HD11 and IPEC-J2), and chickens with LACpG10-HL, CpG plasmids (pNZ8148-CpG10), and other stimulants, and respectively confirmed the effects by conducting qRT-PCR, bacterial infection assays, and a zoological experiment. Our data showed that LACpG10-HL could induce excellent innate immunity by regulating autophagy reactions, cytokine expression, and motivating PRRs. Interestingly, despite having no direct antiseptic effect, LACpG10-HL improved the antibacterial capacities of lymphocytes and enterocytes at the first line of defense. Most importantly, water-supplied LACpG10-HL treatment reduced the average adverse event rates, demonstrating that LACpG10-HL maintained its excellent immunostimulatory and protective properties under farming conditions. Our research not only contributes to revealing the satisfactory effects of LACpG10-HL but also sheds new light on a cost-effective solution with optimal immune effects in green, antibiotic-free, and healthful husbandry farming.

Abstract
The aim of the study was evaluating the effect of probiotic bacteria on chemical values, texture profile and sensory attributes of Mozzarella cheese which produced from cow and buffalo milk during the storage. The acidity, dry matter content, amount of protein and ripening index of sample increased throughout the storage (P < 0.05). Storage time influenced acidity, dry matter content, amount of protein and ripening index of samples (P < 0.001). Lightness and redness decreased while yellowness increased (P < 0.05). Storage time influenced lightness and yellowness of samples (P < 0.001). TPA parameters increased. The count of Lactobacillus acidophilus increased during the storage (P < 0.05) but Bifidobacterium lactis spp. animalis count increased first 14 days of storage and later decreased (P < 0.05). The samples produced from buffalo milk by adding probiotic bacteria had the highest sensory scores.

Abstract
It is becoming clear that the human gut microbiome is critical to health and well-being, with increasing evidence demonstrating that dysbiosis can promote disease. Increasingly, precision probiotics are being investigated as investigational drug products for restoration of healthy microbiome balance. To reach the distal gut alive where the density of microbiota is highest, oral probiotics should be protected from harsh conditions during transit through the stomach and small intestines. At present, few probiotic formulations are designed with this delivery strategy in mind. This study employs an emerging machine learning (ML) technique, known as active ML, to predict how excipients at pharmaceutically relevant concentrations affect the intestinal proliferation of a common probiotic, Lactobacillus paracasei. Starting with a labelled dataset of just 6 bacteria-excipient interactions, active ML was able to predict the effects of a further 111 excipients using uncertainty sampling. The average certainty of the final model was 67.70% and experimental validation demonstrated that 3/4 excipient-probiotic interactions could be correctly predicted. The model can be used to enable superior probiotic delivery to maximise proliferation in vivo and marks the first use of active ML in microbiome science.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Alcoholic gastric ulcers are currently a common upper gastrointestinal disease with a high recurrence rate, causing gastric perforation or even gastric cancer in severe cases. Lactobacillus rhamnosus was previously found to prevent alcoholic gastric ulcers, but its therapeutic effects were not illustrated. AIMS This study aims to illustrate the preventive and therapeutic effects of L. rhamnosus SHA113 cells and their culture supernatant on alcoholic gastric ulcers and explore the related mechanisms. METHODS An alcoholic gastric ulcer model was established by feeding mice with 75% ethanol once at a dosage of 10 ml per kg body weight. The L. rhamnosus SHA113 cells (SHA) and their culture supernatant (SHA-FS) were separately used to feed mice for 2 weeks before ethanol injury in preventive experiments and for 2 days after ethanol injury in therapeutic experiments. The mechanisms were analyzed in view of anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory activities and intestinal barrier functions. RESULTS The preventive effects of SHA-FS were much better than those of SHA via similar mechanisms, such as promoting the secretion of mucus, improving the antioxidant capacity of the gastric mucosa, and inhibiting inflammation. In terms of the therapeutic effects, SHA-FS and SHA could accelerate the healing of damaged ulcers by improving the secretion of tight junction proteins and mucus proteins, increasing angiogenesis, and inhibiting the apoptosis of gastric epithelial cells. CONCLUSION L. rhamnosus SHA113 and its culture supernatant had preventive and therapeutic effects on alcoholic gastric ulcers via anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory pathways and the promotion of healing of damaged ulcers by enhancing intestinal barrier functions, respectively.

Abstract
In this study, double emulsion containing L. plantarum F1 cells and prebiotic mannitol in the inner water phase, lipophilic sea buckthorn pomace extract as an antioxidant in the oil phase, and alginate in the outer water phase showed high encapsulation yield (82.19%), good cell survival rate (76.99%) and low chemical degradation of the oil (peroxide value - 3.8 meq O2/kg fat) after 42 days of storage. Gelation of the outer water phase enhanced the viability of L. plantarum F1 cells both during storage and under gastrointestinal conditions due to strong physical barrier formation. Encapsulated L. plantarum F1 viability throughout the 30-day storage period decreased to the value meeting the minimum required dose for probiotics. In vitro digestion of the loaded alginate capsules showed high survival rate of encapsulated cells under gastric conditions and significant reduction at the end of the duodenal phase of digestion.

Abstract
Naturally occurring nanoscale exopolysaccharide (EPS) has attracted much attention in recent years. In this research, we obtained a new kind of naturally occurring spherical EPS nanoparticles (EPS-R503) from Lactobacillus plantarum R503. The secretion, self-assembly process, morphological structure, and surface characteristics of the as-prepared nanoparticles were comprehensively revealed with transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atomic force microscope (AFM) for the first time. It was found that the EPS-R503 nanoparticles consist of negatively charged heteropolysaccharide composed of mannose, glucose, galactose, and glucuronide with several functional groups including -OH, -COOH, and -NH2. When different solvents were used to treat the EPS-R503 nanoparticles, the morphological structure and surface properties could be changed or manipulated. The forming mechanism of EPS-R503 was elucidated based on the aggregation processes from a fundamental point of view. Furthermore, EPS-R503 can serve as reducing and stabilizing agents for the biosynthesis of manganese dioxide nanosheets (MnO2 NSs), leading to EPS-MnO2 nanocomposite. The as-prepared nanocomposites can absorb fluorescein (FL) to form EPS-MnO2-FL, which can be used to detect glutathione (GSH) with a low limit of detection (0.16 μM) and a wide detection range from 0.05 to 4 mM. The excellent biocompatibility of EPS-MnO2-FL endows the feasibility of in vivo detection of GSH as well. Overall, the findings from this work not only benefit the exploitation of naturally occurring EPS nanomaterials but also provide a novel strategy for the green synthesis of metal-containing nanosheets for GSH detection.

Abstract
The selection of potential probiotic strains that possess the physiological capacity of performing successfully in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) is a critical challenge. Probiotic microorganisms must tolerate the deleterious effects of various stresses to survive passage and function in the human GIT. Adhesion to the intestinal mucosa is also an important aspect. Recently, numerous studies have been performed concerning the selection and evaluation of novel probiotic microorganisms, mainly probiotic bacteria isolated from dairy and nondairy products. Therefore, it would be crucial to critically review the assessment methods employed to select the potential probiotics. This article aims to review and discuss the recent approaches, methods used for the selection, and outcomes of the evaluation of novel probiotic strains with the main purpose of supporting future probiotic microbial assessment studies. The findings and approaches used for assessing acid tolerance, bile metabolism and tolerance, and adhesion capability are the focus of this review. In addition, probiotic bile deconjugation and bile salt hydrolysis are explored. The selection of a new probiotic strain has mainly been based on the in vitro tolerance of physiologically related stresses including low pH and bile, to ensure that the potential probiotic microorganism can survive the harsh conditions of the GIT. However, the varied experimental conditions used in these studies (different types of media, bile, pH, and incubation time) hamper the comparison of the results of these investigations. Therefore, standardization of experimental conditions for characterizing and selecting probiotics is warranted.

Abstract
In this study, we show that calcium pectinate beads (CPB) allow the formation of 20 µm spherical microcolonies of the probiotic bacteria Lacticaseibacillus paracasei (formerly designated as Lactobacillus paracasei) ATCC334 with a high cell density, reaching more than 10 log (CFU/g). The bacteria within these microcolonies are well structured and adhere to a three-dimensional network made of calcium-pectinate through the synthesis of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and thus display a biofilm-like phenotype, an attractive property for their use as probiotics. During bacterial development in the CPB, a coalescence phenomenon arises between neighboring microcolonies accompanied by their peripheral spatialization within the bead. Moreover, the cells of L. paracasei ATCC334 encased in these pectinate beads exhibit increased resistance to acidic stress (pH 1.5), osmotic stress (4.5 M NaCl), the freeze-drying process and combined stresses, simulating the harsh conditions encountered in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. In vivo, the oral administration of CPB-formulated L. paracasei ATCC334 in mice demonstrated that biofilm-like microcolonies are successfully released from the CPB matrix in the colonic environment. In addition, these CPB-formulated probiotic bacteria display the ability to reduce the severity of a DSS-induced colitis mouse model, with a decrease in colonic mucosal injuries, less inflammation, and reduced weight loss compared to DSS control mice. To conclude, this work paves the way for a new form of probiotic administration in the form of biofilm-like microcolonies with enhanced functionalities.
