Background: Exopolysaccharide biopolymers produced by microorganisms are crucial to the environment. They contribute to areas such as the health and bionanotechnology sectors, food and cosmetic industries as gelling agents, and environmental sector as flocculants owing to their biodegradability and non-toxic nature. The current study aimed to isolate the fraction of released exopolysaccharide (rEPS) by Bacillus velezensis SN-1 from Chinese Da-Jiang.

In this study, a novel exopolysaccharide (EPS) was extracted from Shen Nong's (SN)-8 which can be obtained from Dajiang. After the purification step, EPS-8-2 was obtained with molecular weights of 1.46 × 10 Da.

Here, we studied the effects of inlet temperature on the physicochemical properties of the hydrolyzed protein (seed-watermelon seed hydrolyzed protein [SWSP]) powder in seed-watermelon seeds. The inlet temperature of the study was in the range of 150 to 180 °C, and the remaining experimental parameters remained constant, that is, the feed flow rate was 0.2 L/hr, the concentration of maltodextrin was 30%, and the outlet temperature was 80 °C.

The aim of this study was to characterize the exopolysaccharide (EPS) produced by Bacillus velezensis SN-1 (B. velezensis SN-1) (EPS-SN-1), which was isolated from the fermented Da jiang. The microbe made crude exopolysaccharides EPS-SN-1 was produced throughout the bacterial growth period, and the highest yield (2.

Article Synopsis
  • The study looked at how Lactobacillus plantarum WW-fermented skim milk (FSM) affects rats on a high-fat diet and its role in lowering fat levels.
  • Treatment with FSM improved health markers in rats fed a high-fat diet and changed the composition of gut bacteria by increasing beneficial bacteria like lactic acid bacteria and Bacteroides.
  • The research also indicated that FSM influences fat metabolism by affecting specific genes, suggesting its potential use as a probiotic in foods to help manage cholesterol levels.
