The role of Pediococcus spp. in the production of tyramine was studied. Strains of these microorganisms were isolated from industrial beer fermentations where high tyramine formation occurred. It has been verified that Pediococcus spp. are able to form tyramine during beer fermentation, and the quantity of tyramine produced depends on the degree of contamination. Thus, CFU of Pediococcus spp. ranging from 4 ×10 to 1 × 10 CFU/ml led to low tyramine formation (<5 mg/liter). Tyramine production between 5 and 15 mg/liter was related to Pediococcus spp. counts from 1 × 10 to 5 × 10 CFU/ml, while counts of these microorganisms above 5 ×104 CFU/ml led to tyramine levels ranging from 15 to 20 mg/liter. Prolonged storage in culture media of the isolated strains of Pediococcus spp. as well as isolation of these microorganisms from beer and transfer to media caused them to lose their ability to produce tyramine. Determination of tyramine levels in beer was found to be a reliable indicator of the degree of contamination by Pediococcus spp. during beer fermentation.

Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated the effects of multi-strain probiotics on piglet performance, mortality, inflammation, and gut health by using 52 piglet litters divided into a control and a probiotic group.
- The probiotic group received a blend of seven lactic acid bacteria starting from 7 days old, with oral administration continuing until weaning at four weeks, followed by feed spraying for an additional four weeks.
- Results showed that while the probiotics didn't significantly boost growth, they appeared to reduce mortality and enhance immune responses, leading to greater microbial diversity and a healthier gut microbiome.

Article Synopsis
- There is growing interest in using postbiotics from sourdough strains to tackle obesity and related gut issues, particularly focusing on their impact on zebrafish with a high-fat diet.
- The study evaluated different preparation methods for these postbiotics, finding that heat-killing at 120 °C was the most effective, leading to various health benefits such as reducing weight gain and intestinal inflammation in zebrafish.
- Results showed differences in health effects among the postbiotics, with K-LP25 being effective for weight management and inflammation reduction, while K-PP18 was better at preventing gut barrier damage, suggesting that sourdough-derived postbiotics could be promising for gut health interventions.

Plant-based cheese analogs have emerged as a novel global market trend driven by sustainability concerns for our planet. This study examines eleven soft ripened plant-based cheese analogs produced in Europe, primarily with bloomy rinds and cashew nuts as the main ingredient. First, we focused on exploring the macronutrients and salt content stated on the labels, as well a detailed fatty acid analysis of the samples.
