Many consumers nowadays demand plant-based milk analogs for reasons related to lifestyle, health, diet and sustainability. This has led to the increasing development of new products, fermented or not. The objective of the present study was to develop a plant-based fermented product (based on soy milk analog or on hemp milk analog), as well as mixes, using lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and propionic acid bacteria (PAB) strains, as well as consortia thereof.

The article presents a proteomic dataset generated by a comparative analysis, using gel-free nanoLC-MS/MS, of the cellular proteome of subsp. , a yogurt starter, when cultivated in soy milk versus in cow milk. The CIRM-BIA1592 strain was cultivated in the aqueous phase of soy milk, or of cow milk.

The gut microbiota plays a crucial role in the regulation of mucosal immunity and of the function of the intestinal barrier. Dysbiosis is accordingly associated with rupture of mucosal immune homeostasis, leading to inflammatory intestinal diseases. In this context, probiotic bacteria, including a new generation of intestinal probiotics, can maintain intestinal homeostasis and promote health.

Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus is a beneficial lactic acid bacterium and constitutes one of the most used, and thus consumed, dairy starters, worldwide. This homofermentative bacterium was the first lactobacillus described and is involved in the fermentation of yogurt and of diverse other fermented products, including cheeses.

is a beneficial bacterium that modulates the gut microbiota, motility and inflammation. It is traditionally consumed within various fermented dairy products. Changes to consumer habits in the context of food transition are, however, driving the demand for non-dairy fermented foods, resulting in a considerable development of plant-based fermented products that require greater scientific knowledge.

is one of the main spoilers in food, responsible for meat and seafood spoilage through the production of malodorous volatile organic compounds. The molecules produced by this bacterium depend on the substrate (meat or seafood) and the storage conditions such as gas mixtures used in the packaging. It seems also that the spoilage potential is strain dependent as production of diacetyl and acetoin, two molecules responsible for seafood spoilage, varies with strains.

Microbial food spoilage is responsible for significant economic losses. Brochothrix thermosphacta is one of the major bacteria involved in the spoilage of meat and seafood. Its growth and metabolic activities during food storage result in the production of metabolites associated with off-odors.

is one of the dominant bacterial species associated with spoilage of chilled meat and seafood products through the production of various metabolites responsible for off-odors. However, metabolic pathways leading to meat and seafood spoilage are not all well known. The production of spoiling molecules seems to depend both on strains and on food matrix.
