Brewing of glucuronic acid-enriched apple cider with enhanced antioxidant activities through the co-fermentation of yeast ( and ) and bacteria ().

Co-fermentation using yeast ( and ) and the bacteria () as starters isolated from spontaneous sourdough was conducted for the brewing of glucuronic acid (GlcA)-enriched apple cider. The concentration of GlcA in the apple cider co-fermented for 14 d with commercial and was 37.7 ± 1.

Characteristics of sourdough bread fermented with Pediococcus pentosaceus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae and its bio-preservative effect against Aspergillus flavus.

Six lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and four yeast strains were isolated from Pyeongchang spontaneous sourdough. In combination with the segregated Saccharomycopsis fibuligera and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Pediococcus pentosaceus was employed for sourdough bread starters because of its antifungal action against Aspergillus flavus. The sourdough bread fermented with P.

Synthesis and characterization of stevioside having low degree polymerized glucosides using dextransucrase and dextranase.

Transglycosylation is one of enzymatic methods to improve the physical and biochemical properties of various functional compounds. In this study, stevioside glucosides were synthesized using sucrose as a substrate, stevioside (Ste) as an acceptor, and dextransucrase from Leuconostoc mesenteroides B-512 F/KM. The highest Ste conversion yield of 98% was obtained with 50 mg/mL Ste, 800 mM sucrose, and dextransucrase 4 U/mL at 28 °C for 6 h.

Antimelanogenesis Effects of Fungal Exopolysaccharides Prepared from Submerged Culture of Mycelia.

Fungal exopolysaccharides are important natural products having diverse biological functions. In this study, exopolysaccharides from mycelia (FEPS) were prepared, and the highest mushroom tyrosinase inhibitory activity was found. FEPS were prepared from cultivation broth by ethanol precipitation method.

Anti-cariogenic Characteristics of Rubusoside.

Unlabelled: plays an important role in the development of dental caries in humans by synthesizing adhesive insoluble glucans from sucrose by mutansucrase activity. To explore the anti-cariogenic characteristics of rubusoside (Ru), a natural sweetener component in (Rosaceae), we investigated the inhibitory effect of Ru against the activity of mutansucrase and the growth of Ru (50 mM) showed 97% inhibitory activity against 0.1 U/mL mutansucrase of with 500 mM sucrose.
