[PMID: 38616098 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2024.122078] [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: 11/28/2023] [Revised: 03/16/2024] [Accepted: 03/18/2024] [Indexed: 04/16/2024]
Abstract
Microbial polysaccharides (MPs) are biopolymers secreted by microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi during their metabolic processes. Compared to polysaccharides derived from plants and animals, MPs have advantages such as wide sources, high production efficiency, and less susceptibility to natural environmental influences. The most attractive feature of MPs lies in their diverse biological activities, such as antioxidative, anti-tumor, antibacterial, and immunomodulatory activities, which have demonstrated immense potential for applications in functional foods, cosmetics, and biomedicine. These bioactivities are precisely regulated by their sophisticated molecular structure. However, the mechanisms underlying this precise regulation are not yet fully understood and continue to evolve. This article presents a comprehensive review of the most representative species of MPs, including their fermentation and purification processes and their biomedical applications in recent years. In particular, this work presents an in-depth analysis into the structure-activity relationships of MPs across multiple molecular levels. Additionally, this review discusses the challenges and prospects of investigating the structure-activity relationships, providing valuable insights into the broad and high-value utilization of MPs.

Abstract
Pullulan is naturally occurring polysaccharide exhibited potential applications for food preservation has gained increasing attention over the last half-century. Recent studies focused on efficient preservation and targeted inhibition using active composite ingredients and advanced technologies. This has led to the emergence of pullulan-based biofilm preservation. This review extensively studied the characteristics of pullulan-based films and coatings, including their mechanical strength, water vapor permeability, thermal stability, and potential as a microbial agent. Furthermore, the distinct characteristics of pullulan, production methods, and activation strategies, such as pullulan derivatization, various compounded ingredients (plant extracts, microorganisms, and animal additives), and other technologies (e.g., ultrasound), are thoroughly studied for the functional property enhancement of pullulan-based films and coatings, ensuring optimal preservation conditions for diverse food products. Additionally, we explore hypotheses that further illuminate pullulan's potential as an eco-friendly bioactive material for food packaging applications. In addition, this review evaluates various methods to improve the efficiency of the film-forming mechanism, such as improving the direct coating process, bioactive packaging films, and implementing layer-by-layer coatings. Finally, current analyses put forward suggestions for future advancement in pullulan-based bioactive films, with the aim of expanding their range of potential applications.

Lactic acid bacteria viability in different refrigerated food matrices: a systematic review and Meta‑analysis. Crit Rev Food Sci Nutr 2023; 63:12178-12206.

Abstract
The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to determine which variables affect the viability of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) added to different types of refrigerated foods during the first 28 days. Scopus, ScienceDirect, PubMed and Cochrane Central Register of Reviews databases were searched from 1997 to April 2022. A total of 278 studies, which showed randomized and controlled experiments published in peer reviewed journals, were included. The viability of LAB in different moments during the storage process was synthesized as mean point estimate (MPE) via random-effects meta-analyses and the effect of multiple factors on the LAB´s viability was evaluated by multiple meta-regression. The meta-analysis showed that the decrease in LAB viability will be more abrupt the greater the initial dose. The physical structure of food may influence bacterial viability. Fruit was the type of product that most quickly lost viability. Co-culture of two or more species did not affect viability. Preservation methods had an unfavorable effect and prebiotics had a beneficial effect on bacterial viability. Viability was genus dependent. The data obtained in this study provide an overview of the factors to be taken into account for the design of new foods.

Abstract
Yogurt is a fermented food obtained by the bacterial fermentation of milk. In the present work, the effect of different concentrations (1, 3 and 5% w/w) of coriander (Coriandrum sativum) seed powder on physicochemical, sensory characteristics and viability of Bifidobacterium bifidum and Lactobacillus acidophilus of probiotic yogurt were investigated at 4 °C for 21 days. Laboratory-made yogurts were obtained by inoculating milk with yogurt bacteria (mixed culture of Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus) and two probiotic cultures (Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum). According to the results, the viability of B. bifidum and L. acidophilus increased in synbiotic stirred yogurts with 5% CSP (coriander seed powder) up to 9.15 ± 0.09 log CFU/g at 11 days of the storage period, whereas probiotic bacteria count decreased to 9.02 ± 0.01 by the end. Therefore, our results confirmed that the addition of probiotics and CSP powder improved the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of stirred yogurt and exerted a beneficial effect on probiotic bacteria.

Abstract
Microorganisms, fermentation processes, and the resultant metabolic products are a key driving force in biotechnology and, in particular, in food biotechnology. The quantity and/or quality of final manufactured food products are directly related to the efficiency of the metabolic processes of producer microorganisms. Food BioTech companies are naturally interested in increasing the productivity of their biotechnological production lines. This could be achieved via either indirect or direct influence on the fundamental mechanisms governing biological processes occurring in microbial cells. This review considers an approach to improve the efficiency of producer microorganisms through the use of several types of substances or complexes affecting the metabolic processes of microbial producers that are of interest for food biotechnology, particularly fermented milk products. A classification of these supplements will be given, depending on their chemical nature (poly- and oligosaccharides; poly- and oligopeptides, individual amino acids; miscellaneous substances, including vitamins and other organic compounds, minerals, and multicomponent supplements), and the approved results of their application will be comprehensively surveyed.

Abstract
Electrospinning has been proposed as a method to encapsulate and preserve bioactive compounds in nanofibrous mats to ensure their delivery and associated health benefits when consumed directly or added to a food formulation. In previous work, we demonstrated the production of edible fibers to form mats of both calcium (CaCAS) and sodium (NaCAS) caseinate-pullulan (PUL), with the polysaccharide PUL added as a carrier to facilitate molecular entanglement for fiber formation. In this study, we determined the viability of the probiotic bacteria, Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG), used as a model bacterium, in mats of CaCAS-PUL and NaCAS-PUL. Electrospinning of aqueous solutions at room temperature (21 ± 1°C) of 15% (wt/wt) CaCAS and NaCAS mixed with 15% (wt/wt) PUL, with a 1:1 ratio of CAS:PUL, resulted in fibrous mats with average fiber diameter sizes of 233 ± 20 and 244 ± 21 nm, respectively, as determined by scanning electron microscopy. Addition of LGG in the amounts of 9.3 and 9.0 log10 cfu/mL to the CaCAS-PUL and NaCAS-PUL solutions before electrospinning resulted in average fiber diameter sizes of 212 ± 14 and 286 ± 16 nm, respectively. The LGG was found to be distributed within the CaCAS-PUL and NaCAS-PUL fibers. The addition of LGG increased the shear viscosity and conductivity of the CaCAS-PUL solution, enhancing molecular entanglement and resulting in thinner fibers. For NaCAS, LGG increased the conductivity but reduced shear viscosity. Adjustment of the NaCAS-PUL composition would be needed to optimize conditions for thinner fibers. The numbers of viable LGG recovered from the CaCAS-PUL and NaCAS-PUL nanofibrous mats after electrospinning were 9.5 and 9.6 log10 cfu/g, respectively, proving that the electrospinning conditions used were capable of supporting probiotic encapsulation. These results demonstrate that food-grade electrospun fibrous mats can be used to develop functional foods with delivery of probiotics to improve human or animal health.

Abstract
Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a biopolymer produced by different microorganisms, but in biotechnological practice, Komagataeibacter xylinus is used. The micro- and nanofibrillar structure of BC, which forms many different-sized pores, creates prerequisites for the introduction of other polymers into it, including those synthesized by other microorganisms. The study aims to develop a cocultivation system of BC and prebiotic producers to obtain BC-based composite material with prebiotic activity. In this study, pullulan (PUL) was found to stimulate the growth of the probiotic strain Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG better than the other microbial polysaccharides gellan and xanthan. BC/PUL biocomposite with prebiotic properties was obtained by cocultivation of Komagataeibacter xylinus and Aureobasidium pullulans, BC and PUL producers respectively, on molasses medium. The inclusion of PUL in BC is proved gravimetrically by scanning electron microscopy and by Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy. Cocultivation demonstrated a composite effect on the aggregation and binding of BC fibers, which led to a significant improvement in mechanical properties. The developed approach for "grafting" of prebiotic activity on BC allows preparation of environmentally friendly composites of better quality.

Abstract
The potential of Tremella fuciformis polysaccharides (TFPS) as a fat substitute in low-fat yogurt was evaluated in this study. The effects of adding different concentrations of TFPS solution on the physical and chemical properties, texture, rheology, microstructure and sensory properties of low-fat yogurt were evaluated. Compared with control, the addition of TFPS not only increased the solid content and water holding capacity of yogurt, but also reduced syneresis losses in low-fat yogurt. In fact, the addition of TFPS did not affect the color of yogurt but had a positive effect on the texture and sensory of yogurt. In terms of rheology, all low-yogurt samples exhibited rheological to the weak gel-like structures (G' > G″), and the storage modulus and loss modulus of the yogurt added with TFPS were higher than those of the low-fat yogurt control group. Compared with the low-fat yogurt control group, yogurt added TFPS makes the cross-linking of polysaccharides and casein more compact. In conclusion, TFPS has potential as a fat substitute in dairy products. TFPS with Medicine Food Homology can be used as a fat substitute for low-fat yogurt. TFPS significantly improved the physical and chemical properties of low-fat yogurt. 0.025% TFPS in low-fat yoghurt was most acceptable in the sensory score. Polysaccharide-protein interactions enhanced protein network structure. TFPS improved overall organoleptic quality of low-fat yogurt.

Abstract
This study aims to determine the yoghurt production potential of lactic acid bacteria isolated from legumes seeds (lentils, beans, cowpea, and broad beans) and examine the effects of alginate capsules of selected starter cultures with high yoghurt production potential on the physicochemical properties, sensory properties of yoghurt, and bacterial viability during storage time at 4°C. The exopolysaccharide (EPS), proteolytic activity, and acidification properties of eight different isolates were determined, and sixteen different yoghurt combinations prepared. The samples showed similar physicochemical (pH, titratable acidity, dry matter, and whey separation), bacterial count, and sensory results in comparison with the commercial yoghurt used as a control sample. The acidity and pH of the yoghurt samples were significantly affected by the storage time. Total solids of yoghurt samples generally tend to decrease and syneresis of yoghurt samples also differed for each starter culture combination during the storage time. The total count of lactic acid bacteria during the storage time was higher than 107 CFU/g. The sensory analysis results of bacterial combinations are significantly different (
). Results indicated that isolated starter cultures have potential as commercial starters to improve the quality of yoghurt. Selected starter cultures with yoghurt production potential were encapsulated. Lactic acid bacteria with encapsulation efficiency of 86,3 ± 0,2 and 82,26 ± 0,79 were selected for yoghurt production. The physicochemical properties of the yoghurt with free and encapsulated starter culture were significantly different during the storage time. The reduction (∼0,5 log cfu/g) in the numbers of free and encapsulated starter cultures is over during the storage time (
). The acceptability of yoghurt containing encapsulated bacteria was lower than the yoghurt containing free bacteria by the panelists. Consequently, it was determined that alginate capsules increased bacterial viability, but the sensory properties of yoghurt were affected adversely. The LAB isolated form legumes can be introduced to the national microbial collection.

Abstract
Exopolysaccharides (EPSs) are high molecular weight polysaccharides secreted by microorganisms in the surrounding environment. In addition to the favorable benefits of these compounds for microorganisms, including microbial cell protection, they are used in various food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. Investigating the functional and health-promoting characteristics of microbial EPS, identifying the isolation method of these valuable compounds, and their applications in the food industry are the objectives of this study. EPS are used in food industries as thickeners, gelling agents, viscosifiers, and film formers. The antioxidative, anticancer, prebiotic, and cholesterol-lowering effects of some of these compounds make it possible to use them in functional food production.

Abstract
A dynamic system mimicking the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) conditions (fluids, pH, temperature, and residence time) was used to evaluate the behavior of Bacillus coagulans GBI-30, 6086 (BC) incorporated in yogurt and orange juice. BC counts were monitored in samples collected before the in vitro digestion, after initial contact with gastric fluids (30 min), static (1 h 15 min) and dynamic (2 h) stages in the gastric compartment, static (3 h) and dynamic (4 h) stages in the duodenal compartment, static (5 h) and dynamic (6 h) stages in the jejunal compartment, and after digestion. BC presented high survival in juice and yogurt over the digestion stages. The number of decimal reductions (γ) of BC caused by exposure to simulated GIT conditions was ≥0.89 in orange juice and ≥1.17 in yogurt. No differences (p ≥ 0.05) were observed on the survival of BC among the samples collected over the digestion in juice or yogurt, or between these matrices. After the in vitro digestion, BC counts were ≥7 log CFU/mL or g. Results show the great survival of BC under GIT conditions and suggest both, juice and yogurt as appropriate carries for delivering this probiotic to the diet. The semi-dynamic in vitro system was easily built and to operate, comprising an intermediate approach to assess the resistance of probiotic or potentially probiotic strains under simulated gut conditions.

Abstract
This study provides important information about the impacts of various levels of oat (OBG) and bacterial (curdlan) β-glucan and fat contents in milk on survivability and metabolism of yogurt starter cultures. The results show that addition of β-glucans in the concentration higher than 0.25% reduced starter bacterial counts during storage and prolonged the milk acidification process. A significant increase in lactose consumption by starter cultures was noted in the yogurt samples with OBG addition up to 0.75%. The highest (by 567% on average) increase in lactic acid content was noted in the control yogurts. Whereas the lowest (by 351%) increase in lactic acid content was noted in yogurts with OBG. After 28-day storage, the acetic aldehyde content was significantly influenced by fat content, type and addition level of polysaccharide. A higher increase in acetoin content was noted in samples with 0.25% than in samples with 1% of polysaccharides. In turn, significantly lower increases in diacetyl and 2,3-pentanedione contents were observed in the yogurt samples with OBG than in these with curdlan, with diacetyl production increase along with the higher concentration of the polysaccharide. The addition of OBG and curdlan to milk contributed to differences in the starter culture metabolism, consequently, in the milk acidification dynamics.
