Int J Food Microbiol 2024; 423:110845. [PMID: 39079449 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijfoodmicro.2024.110845] [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: 04/30/2024] [Revised: 07/11/2024] [Accepted: 07/24/2024] [Indexed: 08/18/2024]
Abstract
The primary objective of this study was to characterize lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains derived from sourdough for possible utilization as functional starters to produce sourdough and various cereal-based fermented foods. A total of 350 autochthonous LAB strains were isolated from 65 Type I sourdough samples and characterized using six random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) primers at intra- and interspecific levels. Species identification of selected strains representing distinct clusters from RAPD analysis was performed based on the 16S rRNA region. The LAB strains were identified as Companilactobacillus crustorum (n = 135), Levilactobacillus brevis (n = 125), Latilactobacillus curvatus (n = 40), Companilactobacillus paralimentarius (n = 32), and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (n = 18). A total of 66 LAB strains were selected for technological characterization along with two commercial strains. The characterization involved acidity development, EPS production potential, leavening activity, and growth abilities under harsh conditions. Principle component analysis (PCA) identified 2 Lp. plantarum and 14 Lev. brevis strains as the most relevant technologically. Among them, Lp. plantarum L35.1 and Lev. brevis L37.1 were resistant to tetracycline. Evaluation of probiotic characteristics (survival in pH 2.5 and bile presence, auto aggregation capacity, hydrophobic activity, antioxidant activity, antimicrobial activity) by PCA identified four strains with relevance to Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG), which were further selected for in vitro digestion assays. Lactiplantibacillus plantarum L7.8, Lev. brevis L55.1, and L62.2 demonstrated similar viability indices to LGG, along with increased auto aggregation capacity and antioxidant activity. These strains are promising as candidate starters for producing sourdough and sourdough-related fermented food products.

Abstract
DNA markers help detect the intraspecific genetic diversity of yeast strains. Eight ISSR (Inter Simple Sequence Repeats) primers were used to assess the intraspecific diversity of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (n = 96) from different populations (n = 3), evaluate the technological characteristics, and investigate trait-loci associations. The primers amplified 154 reproducible and scorable bands, of which 79.87% were polymorphic. The UPGMA (unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean) dendrogram clustered 96 isolates into two main clusters, supported by STRUCTURE HARVESTER results (ΔK = 2). Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) indicated significant genetic differences between (15%) and within the populations (85%) (p < 0.001). Twenty-nine genetically distinct strains were selected for the technological characterization. Principal component analysis (PCA) revealed that five strains with high fermentation capacity, leavening activity, high growth index at 37 °C, and harsh growth conditions were technologically relevant. Trait-loci association analyses indicated that the highest correlation (r = 0.60) was recorded for the fermentation capacity on the 8th and 113th loci, amplified by ISSR-1 and ISSR-6 primers, respectively (p < 0.05). The strains yielding high performances and the associated loci amplified by ISSR markers possess a high potential to generate locus-specific primers to target the strains with high fermentation capacity.

Abstract
The recovery of yeasts and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) involved in sourdough fermentation is the first step in the selection of starters with suitable technological aptitude and capable of producing desired aromas and/or aromatic precursors. In this work, two sourdoughs samples (MA and MB) and the derived doughs (samples A and B) were collected from a bakery during artisanal Panettone manufacture. Yeasts and bacteria were isolated at different fermentation steps on selective agar media. A total of 77 isolates were obtained and characterized. Representative strains of yeasts and LAB were identified by sequencing the D1/D2 domain of the 26S rRNA and the 16S rRNA genes, respectively. Moreover, the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced in the collected samples were detected and correlated to the species found in the same samples. The results highlighted the occurrence of Kazachstania humilis in both samples A and B, while Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains were detected only in samples B. Among LAB, Fructilactobacillus sanfranciscensis was the main species detected in both sourdoughs. Furthermore, strains belonging to the species Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, Furfurilactobacillus rossiae, Lactobacillus parabuchneri, Leuconostoc citreum, and Leuconostoc mesenteroides were assessed in the dough samples.

Abstract
Sourdough is a composite ecosystem largely characterized by yeasts and lactic acid bacteria which are the main players in the fermentation process. The specific strains involved are influenced by several factors including the chemical and enzyme composition of the flour and the sourdough production technology. For many decades the scientific community has explored the microbiological, biochemical, technological and nutritional potential of sourdoughs. Traditionally, sourdoughs have been used to improve the organoleptic properties, texture, digestibility, palatability, and safety of bread and other kinds of baked products. Recently, novel sourdough-based biotechnological applications have been proposed to meet the demand of consumers for healthier and more natural food and offer new inputs for the food industry. Many researchers have focused on the beneficial effects of specific enzymatic activities or compounds, such as exopolysaccharides, with both technological and functional roles. Additionally, many studies have explored the ability of sourdough lactic acid bacteria to produce antifungal compounds for use as bio-preservatives. This review provides an overview of the fundamental features of sourdoughs and their exploitation to develop high value-added products with beneficial microorganisms and/or their metabolites, which can positively impact human health.

Abstract
Ochratoxin A is a dangerous mycotoxin present in wines and is considered the principal safety hazard in the winemaking process. Several authors have investigated the ochratoxin A adsorption ability of Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeasts, and specifically selected strains for this desired trait. In the present work, a huge selection of wine yeasts was done starting from Portuguese, Spanish and Italian fermenting musts of different cultivars. Firstly, 150 isolates were collected, and 99 non-redundant S. cerevisiae strains were identified. Then, the strains were screened following a multi-step approach in order to select those having primary oenological traits, mainly (a) good fermentation performance, (b) low production of H2S and (c) low production of acetic acid. The preselected strains were further investigated for their adsorption activity of pigments, phenolic compounds and ochratoxin A. Finally, 10 strains showed the desired features. The goal of this work was to select the strains capable of absorbing ochratoxin A but not pigments and phenolic compounds in order to improve and valorise both the quality and safety of red wines. The selected strains are considered good candidates for wine starters, moreover, they can be exploited to obtain a further enhancement of the specific adsorption/non-adsorption activity by applying a yeast breeding approach.

Abstract
In the last decades, there has been a growing interest from consumers in their food choices. Organic, natural, less processed, functional, and pre-probiotic products were preferred. Although, Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. boulardii is the most well-characterized probiotic yeast available on the market, improvement in probiotic function using other yeast species is an attractive future direction. In the present study, un-anthropized natural environments and spontaneous processed foods were exploited for wild yeast isolation with the goal of amplifying the knowledge of probiotic aptitudes of different yeast species. For this purpose, 179 yeast species were isolated, identified as belonging to twelve different genera, and characterized for the most important probiotic features. Findings showed interesting probiotic characteristics for some yeast strains belonging to Lachancea thermotolerans, Metschnikowia ziziphicola, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and Torulaspora delbrueckii species, although these probiotic aptitudes were strictly strain-dependent. These yeast strains could be proposed for different probiotic applications, such as a valid alternative to, or in combination with, the probiotic yeast S. cerevisiae var. boulardii.

Abstract
The increasing demand for healthy baked goods boosted studies on sourdough microbiota with beneficial metabolic traits, to be used as potential functional starters. Here, yeast populations of traditional sourdoughs collected from four Tuscan bakeries were investigated. Among 200 isolated strains, 78 were randomly selected and molecularly characterized. Saccharomyces cerevisiae was dominant, representing the only species detected in three out of the four sourdoughs. The fourth one harbored also Kazachstania humilis. Inter-delta regions analysis revealed a high intraspecific polymorphism discriminating 16 biotypes of S. cerevisiae isolates, which clustered based on their origin. Representative isolates from each biotype group were individually used to ferment soft and durum wheat flour, aiming at evaluating their pro-technological, nutritional and functional features. During fermentation under standardized conditions, all strains were able to grow of ca. 2 log cycles, but only S. cerevisiae L10Y, D18Y and D20Y had a significantly shorter latency phase in both flours. Overall, the highest volumes were reached after 16 h of fermentation in both soft and durum fermented dough. S. cerevisiae D2Y produced the highest dough volume increase. K. humilis G23Y was the only strain able to increase the total free amino acids concentration of the doughs. Overall, values of phytase activity were significantly higher in durum compared to the corresponding soft fermented dough. K. humilis G23Y and S. cerevisiae D20Y, D24Y showed a threefold higher phytase activity than spontaneously fermented control, and the highest concentration of total phenols. Almost all the strains led to increases of antioxidant activity, without significant differences among them. Investigations on the resistance of the strains to simulated gastric and intestinal conditions, that is considered a pre-requisite for the selection of probiotics, revealed the ability to survive in vitro by many of the strains considered. This study proposed the best performing yeast strains selected among autochthonous sourdough yeasts based on their pro-technological, nutritional and functional traits to be used as starters for making sourdough baked goods or functional cereal-based beverages. Although some yeast strains combined several technological and nutritional traits, the association of more selected strains seemed to be a requisite to get optimal sourdough characteristics.

Implantation and persistence of yeast inoculum in Pinot noir fermentations at three Canadian wineries. Int J Food Microbiol 2014; 180:56-61.

Abstract
Inoculated fermentations are practiced in most wine regions of the world. This type of fermentation involves adding a commercial Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain as an inoculant. It is often assumed that the inoculant maintains dominance throughout the fermentation; however, sometimes commercial or indigenous yeasts, which were not intentionally added, end up as the dominant yeast in the winery fermentation. The aim of this study was to compare implantation/persistence of inoculants among three Canadian wineries (Quails' Gate, Cedar Creek, and Road 13 wineries). In 2010, three inoculated fermentation tanks at each of three wineries were sampled at four stages of fermentation (pre-inoculation, early, mid, and end). In addition, results from the end stage of fermentation, from two of the three wineries, were compared among different vintages (resulting in a 4-year comparison at Quails' Gate winery and a 2-year comparison at Cedar Creek winery). Strains of S. cerevisiae were discriminated by microsatellite analysis and identified using commercial microsatellite databases, whereas DNA sequencing was used to identify non-Saccharomyces. The percent implantation/persistence of the inoculum was significantly lower at Quails' Gate and Cedar Creek wineries as compared with the Road 13 winery in the 2010 vintage. Relatively low persistence of the inoculum at Quails' Gate winery was also found in the 2009 vintage, but low values were not found at Quails' Gate winery in 2011 and 2012 or at Cedar Creek winery in 2012. In all tanks having <80% relative abundance of the inoculant, the commercial strain (Lalvin ICV-D254®/Fermol® Premier Cru) was the dominant or co-dominant yeast. Our findings highlight year-to-year variation in inoculum implantation/persistence and the idea that unless strain typing of S. cerevisiae is conducted at the winery, there are no obvious fermentation factors that would indicate a relatively low inoculum implantation/persistence.

Abstract
Abstract
Several indigenous Saccharomyces strains from musts were isolated in the Jerez de la Frontera region, at the end of spontaneous fermentation, in order to select the most suitable autochthonous yeast starter, during the 2007 vintage. Five strains were chosen for their oenological abilities and fermentative kinetics to elaborate a Sherry base wine. The selected autochthonous strains were characterized by molecular methods: electrophoretic karyotype and random amplified polymorphic DNA-polymerase chain reaction (RAPD-PCR) and by physiological parameters: fermentative power, ethanol production, sugar consumption, acidity and volatile compound production, sensory quality, killer phenotype, desiccation, and sulphur dioxide tolerance. Laboratory- and pilot-scale fermentations were conducted with those autochthonous strains. One of them, named J4, was finally selected over all others for industrial fermentations. The J4 strain, which possesses exceptional fermentative properties and oenological qualities, prevails in industrial fermentations, and becomes the principal biological agent responsible for winemaking. Sherry base wine, industrially manufactured by means of the J4 strain, was analyzed, yielding, together with its sensory qualities, final average values of 0.9 g/l sugar content, 13.4 % (v/v) ethanol content and 0.26 g/l volatile acidity content; apart from a high acetaldehyde production, responsible for the distinctive aroma of “Fino”. This base wine was selected for “Fino” Sherry elaboration and so it was fortified; it is at present being subjected to biological aging by the so-called “flor” yeasts. The “flor” velum formed so far is very high quality. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study covering from laboratory to industrial scale of characterization and selection of autochthonous starter intended for alcoholic fermentation in Sherry base wines. Since the 2010 vintage, the indigenous J4 strain is employed to industrially manufacture a homogeneous, exceptional Sherry base wine for “Fino” Sherry production.

Abstract
The crossing of Saccharomyces strains by spore conjugation is one of the ways to obtain new starter cultures for the fermentation industry. One of the major difficulties of this practice is the identification of the newly formed hybrids. In this work we describe an effective molecular method for the validation of Saccharomyces intraspecific crosses. The method described is based in the hypothesis that hybrids constructed by spore conjugation contain the sum of the genomes of both parental strains. As a consequence, the conjugation of spores of two yeasts showing different genomic fingerprinting profiles will result in a hybrid culture that will show the sum of both profiles. We demonstrated that the detection of polymorphism in two genes containing minisatellite-like sequences, either SED1 or AGA1, is suitable for this purpose. Using this strategy we were able to validate 15 crosses out of 162 hybridization attempts.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to establish a new procedure for the oenological selection of Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains isolated from natural must fermentations of an important Italian grape cultivar, denoted as "Negroamaro". For this purpose, 108 S. cerevisiae strains were selected as they did not produce H(2)S and then assayed by microfermentation tests. The adopted procedure made it possible to identify 10 strains that were low producers of acetic acid and hydrogen sulphide and showed that they completed sugar consumption during fermentation. These strains were characterized for their specific oenological and technological properties and, two of them, strains 6993 and 6920, are good candidates as industrial starter cultures. A novel protocol was set up for their biomass production and they were employed for industrial-scale fermentation in two industrial cellars. The two strains successfully dominated the fermentation process and contributed to increasing the wines' organoleptic quality. The proposed procedure could be very effective for selecting "company-specific" yeast strains, ideal for the production of typical regional wines. "Winery" starter cultures could be produced on request in a small plant just before or during the vintage season and distributed as a fresh liquid concentrate culture.
