Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the nutritional needs for the growth and production of free exopolysaccharide (f-EPS) by the bacterium Streptococcus thermophilus, which has health benefits and is used as a texture modifier.
- Key nutrients like cysteine, glutamine, and specific B vitamins were identified as crucial for the stable growth of S. thermophilus 937, while lactose and certain amino acids significantly enhanced f-EPS production.
- Optimal conditions for maximum f-EPS yield were found with 20 g·L of lactose and a combination of three amino acids at 15 mM, indicating a synergistic effect between these nutrients on f-EPS production.
Abstract: Kefir is an acidic-alcoholic fermented milk that can provide probiotic benefits, such as intestinal microecological balance regulation, antibacterial activity, and anti-inflammatory activity.
