Aims: To evaluate the effect of protective agents upon survival of Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus during freeze-drying and storage, and selective amino acids on cell membrane fluidity.
Methods And Results: The protective effect of amino-acids and sugars at different concentrations was studied by determining the viability of lyophilized cells after storage under air at 30 degrees C. Survival following freeze-drying was improved by all compounds. During storage, neither proline nor maltose had protective effects on lyophilized Lact. delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus. Glutamate 5% and aspartate 5% showed similar protection capability during freeze-drying (94-95%) and after storage (92-99%). Fluorescence probes (DPH and TMA-DPH) were used to study the effect of both amino acids on membrane fluidity. Polarization decreased with increasing concentrations of glutamate or aspartate. Lowest values were observed with TMA-DPH.
Conclusions: Glutamate 5% and aspartate 5% allowed maintaining high viability rates during freeze-drying and storage of Lact. delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus because of an increase of the membrane fluidity by inserting in the interfacial region of bacterial plasma membrane.
Significance And Impact Of The Study: These results show the first evidence of the mechanisms underlying glutamate and aspartate as lyoprotectors.

β-Galactosidase is currently applied in foods for reduction of lactose but can also be used for its transgalactosylation activity to synthesize galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) as prebiotics. The ability of GRAS-status strains to exhibit such activities would benefit consumers given their extensive history with dairy products. The objective of this study was to characterize the production of GOS in 6 strains for their ability to synthesize GOS in 50 m sodium phosphate (pH 6.

The development of technologies for producing bacterial concentrates and enzyme preparations using domestic microbial strains is an urgent task. The use of whey protein hydrolysates as components of nutrient media for probiotic bacteria consortia for the cultivation of lactic acid and bifidobacteria makes it possible to improve and develop innovative processes for obtaining bacterial concentrates with the required functional properties for the production of dietary supplements. A consortium of probiotic microorganisms (lactic acid and bifidobacteria) was created in the All-Russian Scientific Research Institute of Food Biotechnology as a starter culture for specialized dairy products.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the interaction between Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus during milk fermentation at 37°C and 42°C, focusing on their growth and fermentation characteristics.
- At 42°C, bacteria showed faster growth and reduced fermentation time, while fermentation at 37°C enriched certain volatile fatty acids.
- Sensory evaluation revealed that milk fermented at 42°C scored higher in taste, with more desirable flavor metabolites appearing in later fermentation stages, providing insights for optimizing dairy processes.
