Abstract
There are a variety of ways to make glucose-galactose syrup (GGS) and other products of lactose hydrolysis; therefore, research is still ongoing and will undoubtedly result in improved methods and lower costs. The aim of the study was to use a two-stage fermentation approach to increase the sweetness of glucose-galactose syrup. Comparing lactose hydrolysis with β-galactosidases, the enzyme Ha-Lactase 5200 (K. lactis) showed the highest hydrolysis yield but NOLA™ Fit5500 (B. licheniformis) and GODO-YNL2 (K. lactis) hydrolysis yields varied. After the two-stage fermentation, the syrups from sweet whey permeate had shown the highest sweet taste intensity scores; the sweetest samples were 1NFS and 1HLS with a score of 9.2 and 9.3, respectively. The presence of fructose in the range of 14 ± 3 to 25 ± 1 %, significantly (p < 0.05) increased the sweetness of the syrups. Obtained syrups from whey permeates using enzymes NOLA™ Fit5500 and Ha-Lactase 5200 contained less than 10% lactose. Additionally, results indicate that hydrolysis of lactose and subsequent enhancement of sweetness through glucose isomerisation may provide additional benefits through the production of galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) in the range of 2 ± 1 to 34 ± 7%.

Abstract
Streptococcus thermophilus is a fast-growing lactic acid bacterium (LAB) used in yoghurt and cheese manufacturing. Recently, we reported how this bacterium could serve as a cell catalyst for hydrolyzing lactose when permeabilized by nisin A. To enhance the lactose hydrolyzing activity of S. thermophilus, we mutated a dairy strain and screened for variants with elevated β-galactosidase activity. Two isolates, ST30-8 and ST95, had 2.4-fold higher activity. Surprisingly, both strains were able to hydrolyze lactose when used as whole-cell lactase catalysts without permeabilization, and ST30-8 hydrolyzed 30 g/L lactose in 6 h at 50 °C using 0.18 g/L cells. Moreover, both strains hydrolyzed lactose while growing in milk. Genome sequencing revealed a mutation in l-lactate dehydrogenase, which we believe hampers growth and increases the capacity of S. thermophilus to hydrolyze lactose. Our findings will allow production of sweet lactose-reduced yoghurt without the use of costly purified lactase enzymes.

Abstract
Dairy industry waste has been explored as a cheap and attractive raw material to produce various commercially important rare sugars. In this study, a lactose-rich dairy byproduct, namely cheese whey powder (CWP), was microbially converted into three low caloric sweeteners using whole-cell and fermentation technologies. Firstly, the simultaneous lactose hydrolysis and isomerization of lactose-derived D-galactose into D-tagatose was performed by an engineered Escherichia coli strain co-expressing β-galactosidase and L-arabinose isomerase, which eventually produced 68.35 g/L D-tagatose during sequential feeding of CWP. Subsequently, the mixed syrup containing lactose-derived D-glucose and residual D-galactose was subjected to fermentation by Metschnikowia pulcherrima E1, which produced 60.12 g/L D-arabitol and 28.26 g/L galactitol. The net titer of the three rare sugars was 156.73 g/L from 300 g/L lactose (equivalent to 428.57 g/L CWP), which was equivalent to 1.12 mol product/mol lactose and 52.24% conversion efficiency in terms of lactose.

Characterization of the Fermentation and Sensory Profiles of Novel Yeast-Fermented Acid Whey Beverages. Foods 2021; 10:foods10061204.

Abstract
Acid whey is a by-product generated in large quantities during dairy processing, and is characterized by its low pH and high chemical oxygen demand. Due to a lack of reliable disposal pathways, acid whey currently presents a major sustainability challenge to the dairy industry. The study presented in this paper proposes a solution to this issue by transforming yogurt acid whey (YAW) into potentially palatable and marketable beverages through yeast fermentation. In this study, five prototypes were developed and fermented by Kluyveromyces marxianus, Brettanomyces bruxellensis, Brettanomyces claussenii, Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain: Hornindal kveik), and IOC Be Fruits (IOCBF) S. cerevisiae, respectively. Their fermentation profiles were characterized by changes in density, pH, cell count, and concentrations of ethanol and organic acids. The prototypes were also evaluated on 26 sensory attributes, which were generated through a training session with 14 participants. While S. cerevisiae (IOCBF) underwent the fastest fermentation (8 days) and B. claussenii the slowest (21 days), K. marxianus and S. cerevisiae (Hornindal kveik) showed similar fermentation rates, finishing on day 20. The change in pH of the fermentate was similar for all five strains (from around 4.45 to between 4.25 and 4.31). Cell counts remained stable throughout the fermentation for all five strains (at around 6 log colony-forming units (CFU)/mL) except in the case of S. cerevisiae (Hornindal kveik), which ultimately decreased by 1.63 log CFU/mL. B. bruxellensis was the only strain unable to utilize all of the sugars in the substrate, with residual galactose remaining after fermentation. While both S. cerevisiae (IOCBF)- and B. claussenii-fermented samples were characterized by a fruity apple aroma, the former also had an aroma characteristic of lactic acid, dairy products, bakeries and yeast. A chemical odor characteristic of petroleum, gasoline or solvents, was perceived in samples fermented by B. bruxellensis and K. marxianus. An aroma of poorly aged or rancid cheese or milk also resulted from B. bruxellensis fermentation. In terms of appearance and mouthfeel, the S. cerevisiae (IOCBF)-fermented sample was rated the cloudiest, with the heaviest body. This study provides a toolkit for product development in a potential dairy-based category of fermented alcoholic beverages, which can increase revenue for the dairy industry by upcycling the common waste product YAW.

Abstract
We have developed a sustainable three-stage process for the revaluation of cheese whey permeate into D-tagatose, a rare sugar with functional properties used as sweetener. The experimental conditions (pH, temperature, cofactors, etc.) for each step were independently optimized. In the first step, concentrated whey containing 180–200 g/L of lactose was fully hydrolyzed by β-galactosidase from Bifidobacterium bifidum (Saphera®) in 3 h at 45 °C. Secondly, glucose was selectively removed by treatment with Pichia pastoris cells for 3 h at 30 °C. The best results were obtained with 350 mg of cells (previously grown for 16 h) per mL of solution. Finally, L-arabinose isomerase US100 from Bacillus stearothermophilus was employed to isomerize D-galactose into D-tagatose at pH 7.5 and 65 °C, in presence of 0.5 mM MnSO4. After 7 h, the concentration of D-tagatose was approximately 30 g/L (33.3% yield, referred to the initial D-galactose present in whey). The proposed integrated process takes place under mild conditions (neutral pH, moderate temperatures) in a short time (13 h), yielding a glucose-free syrup containing D-tagatose and galactose in a ratio 1:2 (w/w).

Abstract
β-galactosidases, commonly referred to as lactases, are used for producing lactose-free dairy products. Lactases are usually purified from microbial sources, which is a costly process. Here, we explored the potential that lies in using whole cells of a food-grade dairy lactic acid bacterium, Streptococcus thermophilus, as a substitute for purified lactase. We found that S. thermophilus cells, when treated with the antimicrobial peptide nisin, were able to hydrolyze lactose efficiently. The rate of hydrolysis increased with temperature; however, above 50 °C, stability was compromised. Different S. thermophilus strains were tested, and the best candidate was able to hydrolyze 80% of the lactose in a 50 g/L solution in 4 h at 50 °C, using only 0.1 g/L cells (dry weight basis). We demonstrated that it was possible to grow the cell catalyst on dairy waste, and furthermore, that a cell-free supernatant of a culture of a nisin-producing Lactococcus lactis strain could be used instead of purified nisin, which reduced cost of use significantly. Finally, we tested the cell catalysts in milk, where lactose also was efficiently hydrolyzed. The method presented is natural and low-cost, and allows for production of clean-label and lactose-free dairy products without using commercial enzymes from recombinant microorganisms. KEY POINTS: • Nisin-permeabilized Streptococcus thermophilus cells can hydrolyze lactose efficiently. • A low-cost and more sustainable alternative to purified lactase enzymes. • Reduction of overall sugar content. • Clean-label production of lactose-free dairy products.
