Application of selected lactic acid bacteria isolates for bread production without baker's yeast.

Unlabelled: The isolates of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from traditional fermented koumiss and homemade dry rye sourdough were examined for their potential to be used in bread production without baker's yeast. Among twenty isolates, three with superior fermentation ability and acidification capability were identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. from koumiss, from 48 h activated rye sourdough, and from rye sourdough extract were singly and mixed (1:1:1) inoculated into liquid sourdoughs and used for bread-making tests.

Production of snack bar enriched with paraprobiotics grown in banana peel medium, nutritional, sensory and quality parameters.

Objective: this research aims to develop a product with high sensory and nutritional quality to make paraprobiotics developed in banana peel consumable within the scope of waste evaluation. Methods: Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus casei probiotics were developed here by using banana peels as a medium, and paraprobiotics were obtained from these strains by the pasteurization method at 80 °C for 30 minutes. Two types of bars, with and without paraprobiotics, were produced, and the nutritional and sensory quality characteristics of the bars were examined.

The importance of the S-layer on the adhesion and aggregation ability of Lactic acid bacteria.

S-layer proteins in Lactic acid bacteria are not the only cell surface structures used for aggregation, but also plays significant role for intestinal tissue adhesion along with some other functional elements. In addition, it was determined that the properties of S-layer proteins differs not only between species but also the strains which belong to same species. In this work, presence and some functions of S-layer in lactic acid bacteria were determined, its effect on resistance to gastrointestinal enzymes, aggregation and adhesion ability were investigated as well.
