Abstract
One of the most popular pickled foods created worldwide is table olives. The aim was to identify the bacterial microbiota of table olive samples collected from Şarköy, Tekirdağ-Türkiye using next generation sequencing and 16S metagenomic analysis. Samples were studied as non-pre-enriched (n : 10) and after pre-enrichment (n : 10) to compare the effects of the enrichment process on the bacterial diversity. In non-pre-enriched, the most common genus found was Sphingomonas, followed by Altererythrobacter and Lysobacter. The most common phylum found was Proteobacteria, followed by Bacteroidota and Actinobacteria. In pre-enriched, Bacillus was the most commonly detected genus, followed by Pantoea and Staphylococcus. The most frequently found phylum was Firmicutes, followed by Proteobacteria and Cyanobacteria. This study is the first study for Şarköy, which is the only table olive production place in the Tekirdağ region due to its microclimate feature. Further studies are needed in more table olive samples from different geographical areas to confirm and develop current findings.

Abstract
Functional foods are gaining significant attention from people all over the world. When added to foods, probiotic bacteria can turn them healthier and confer beneficial health effects, such as improving the immune system and preventing cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. However, adding probiotics to foods is a challenging task. The processing steps often involve high temperatures, and intrinsic food factors, such as pH, water activity, dissolved oxygen, post-acidification, packaging, and cold storage temperatures, can stress the probiotic strain and impact its viability. Moreover, it is crucial to consider these factors during food product development to ensure the effectiveness of the probiotic strain. Among others, techniques such as microencapsulation and lyophilization, have been highlighted as industrial food functionalization strategies. In this review, we present and discuss alternatives that may be used to functionalize foods by incorporating probiotics and/or delivering bioactive compounds produced by probiotics. We also emphasize the main challenges in different food products and the technological characteristics influencing them. The knowledge available here may contribute to overcoming the practical obstacles to food functionalization with probiotics.

Khosroshahi ED, Razavi SH, Kiani H, Aghakhani A. Mixed fermentation and electrospray drying for the development of a novel stabilized wheat germ powder containing highly viable probiotic cultures. Food Sci Nutr 2023; 11:2176-2185. [PMID: 37181318 PMCID: PMC10171522 DOI: 10.1002/fsn3.3092] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2022] [Revised: 08/27/2022] [Accepted: 09/26/2022] [Indexed: 01/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Nondairy fermented probiotic powder was developed based on stabilized wheat germ through mixed fermentation (Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus plantarum) and electrospraying process. In the first step, the effect of mixed fermentation on lipase and lipoxygenase activity of wheat germ was investigated. The results showed a significant reduction in the activity of both enzymes (82.72% for lipase and 72% for lipoxygenase), therefore, mixed fermentation effectively stabilizes the wheat germ. In the next step, after the preparation of the solutions for drying process and investigating the physical properties (surface tension, electrical conductivity, and viscosity) of the solutions, the electrosprayability of the samples was evaluated at different conditions and revealed that 18 kV applying voltage, 0.3 flow rate, and 12 cm distance between tip to collector was the best for electrospraying the 20% solution of fermented wheat germ with morphologically most semi-uniform particles. Finally, the viability of the probiotics after drying process and during the storage at 25°C was examined. The number of initial cells counted as 14.48 ± 0.2 log cfu/g and the viability studies showed 0.55 log cfu/g decrease in the number of viable bacteria from initial count as a result of the electrospraying process. Furthermore, 7.86 ± 0.03 log cfu/g in freeze-dried and 9.05 ± 0.45 log cfu/g in electrosprayed samples survived after 70 days of storage.

Cobrançosa Table Olive Fermentation as per the Portuguese Traditional Method, Using Potentially Probiotic Lactiplantibacillus pentosus i106 upon Alternative Inoculation Strategies. FERMENTATION 2022.

Abstract
Spontaneous fermentation of table olives, as per a traditional Mediterranean process, is still performed empirically; hence, final product quality is somewhat unpredictable. Our main goal was to validate an endogenous (potentially probiotic) lactic acid bacterium strain in Cobrançosa table olives as a vector for a more standardized process, further adding commercial value to the olives themselves. The traditional Portuguese fermentation process typically consists of two stages: sweetening, when olives are periodically washed with spring water to different proportions, and salting, when water is no longer changed, but salt is gradually added to the brine, up to 7–10% (w/w). Lactiplantibacillus pentosus i106 was inoculated as follows: (plan A) 2020/21 harvest, with 0, 3, 5, and 7% (w/v) NaCl, without sweetening; (plan B) 2020/21 harvest, with 5 and 7% (w/v) NaCl, during salting and sweetening; and (plan C) 2019/20 harvest, with 5% (w/v) salt, and sweetening and salting. Microbiological, physical, and biochemical evolutions were monitored for 8 months, and final nutritional and sensory features were duly assessed. Compared to the control, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) predominated over yeasts only if deliberately inoculated; however strain viability was hindered above 5% (w/w) NaCl, and LAB inhibited enterobacteria. Degradation of (bitter) oleuropein to hydroxytyrosol and verbascoside was faster upon inoculation. Color-changing olives from the 2020/21 harvest exhibited higher fat content and lower water content compared to green ones (2019/20 harvest), and different salt levels and inoculation moments produced distinct sensory properties. The best protocol was plan C, in terms of overall eating quality; hence, the addition of Lpb. pentosus i106 provides benefits as a supplementary additive (or adjunct culture), rather than a starter culture.

Study of Lactic Acid Bacteria Biodiversity in Fermented Cobrançosa Table Olives to Determine Their Probiotic Potential. Foods 2022; 11:foods11193050.

Abstract
Current market trends point at increasing demand for functional foods, namely those carrying probiotics. In the case of table olives, presence of probiotics would convey a competitive advantage to Mediterranean-based diets, already established for their cultural heritage and gastronomic character. This work assessed the safety and resistance to gastrointestinal digestion of 19 native LAB strains from Cobrançosa table olives. Strains were identified via molecular sequencing (4 fingerprints/10 strains for Lactiplantibacillus pentosus, and 2 fingerprints/9 strains for L. paraplantarum), and exposed to simulated gastrointestinal fluids, as per the INFOGEST in vitro protocol with modifications. None of those strains proved dangerous for human consumption. Survivability to the gastrointestinal resistance test ranged from 29% to 70%, with strain-dependent variability. L. paraplantarum i18, i27, and i102, and L. pentosus i10 and i11 exhibited statistically lower survival rates (29−35%) than probiotic the Greek table olive reference strain L. pentosus B281 (53%). Among the other strains, L. paraplantarum i101 and L. pentosus i53 and i106 showed the highest survival rates but were not significantly different from the strain of Lacticaseibacillus casei isolated from commercial probiotic yoghurt (65−70%). In vitro results proved that strains retrieved from fermenting cultivar Cobrançosa possess the potential to be claimed as probiotics—thus deserving further attention toward the development of a specific starter culture.

Exploratory Study for Probiotic Enrichment of a Sea Fennel ( Crithmum maritimum L.) Preserve in Brine. Foods 2022; 11:foods11152219.

Abstract
Considering the increasing consumer demand for vegan and vegetarian health foods, different vegetables have been already exploited to produce non-dairy probiotic foods. In addition to being rich in bioactive compounds, sea fennel (Crithmum maritimum L.), also known as rock samphire, represents a valuable candidate in the production of probiotic-enriched foods, and, to the authors' knowledge, it has not yet been explored as carrier for probiotics. Hence, the present study was aimed at evaluating the survival of a commercially available probiotic formulation, SYNBIO®, and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum IMC 509 in an artificially acidified, pasteurized sea fennel preserve in brine during a refrigerated storage of 44 days. Despite slight reductions in the microbial loads, at the end of the storage, both the probiotic formulations showed loads higher than 7.0 Log CFU g-1 of sea fennel or mL-1 of brine, above the recommended administration dose to exert beneficial health effects. Thus, acidified sea fennel sprouts in brine represent a potential vehicle for probiotics delivery to humans.

A Predictive Growth Model for Pro-technological and Probiotic Lacticaseibacillus paracasei Strains Fermenting White Cabbage. Front Microbiol 2022; 13:907393. [PMID: 35733952 PMCID: PMC9207389 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.907393] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2022] [Accepted: 05/06/2022] [Indexed: 12/01/2022] Open
Abstract
Bacterial strains belonging to Lacticaseibacillus paracasei species are generally used as starters in food fermentations and/or as probiotics. In the current study, the growth cardinal parameters of four L. paracasei strains (IMPC2.1, IMPC4.1, P40 and P101), isolated from table olives or human source, were determined. Strains were grown in liquid medium and incubated at several temperatures (10 values from 5.5°C–40°C) and pH (15 values from 3.2 to 9.1) along the growth range. The cardinal temperature model was used to describe temperature effects on the maximum specific growth rate of L. paracasei whereas new equations were developed for the effect of pH. The estimated Tmin values ranged between −0.97°C and 1.95°C and were lower than 0°C for strains IMPC4.1 and P101. Strain P40 was able to grow in the most restricted range of temperature (from 1.95°C to 37.46°C), while strain IMPC4.1 was estimated to survive at extreme conditions showing the lowest pHmin. Maximum specific growth rates of L. paracasei IMPC2.1 in white cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata) were used to calculate the correction factor (Cf) defined as the bias between the bacterial maximum specific growth rate in broth and in the food matrix. A simple bi-linear model was also developed for the effect of temperature on the maximum population density reached in white cabbage. This information was further used to simulate the growth of L. paracasei strains in cabbage and predict the time to reach the targeted probiotic level (7 log10 CFU/g) using in silico simulations. This study demonstrates the potential of the predictive microbiology to predict the growth of beneficial and pro-technological strains in foods in order to optimize the fermentative process.
