In this study, different dairy products such as ice cream, yoghurt, white pickled cheese, and fermented acidophilus milk were manufactured by using either Lactobacillus acidophilus DSM 20,079 or Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM. The counts of L. acidophilus in the samples on days 1, 15, and 30 of the storage were determined. Additionally, the samples contained L. acidophilus were passed through a dynamic gastrointestinal model designed in laboratory conditions to compare the protective effect of different dairy products on viability of L. acidophilus against stress factors of the gastrointestinal model. The counts of L. acidophilus NCFM and L. acidophilus DSM 20,079 in the samples decreased by between 0.04 and 0.37 log units and by between 0.11 and 0.27 log units, respectively, within 30 days of storage. During the passage through the gastrointestinal model, the highest percentage reduction in the counts of L. acidophilus was determined in yoghurt followed by fermented acidophilus milk, white pickled cheese, and ice cream, respectively. The reduction in the counts of L. acidophilus in the samples during the passage through the model increased with extension of storage time. The results of this study showed that the reduction in the counts L. acidophilus in the samples during the passage through the model was influenced significantly by the matrix of the dairy product and storage period.

Salami, a well-known fermented meat product, is made from selected ground meat mixed with curing agents and spices. This work aimed to determine the viability of (as a starter), (probiotic microorganism), and their mixture during the fermentation and ripening of a salami-type product, evaluate the microbiological and physicochemical changes and assess the sensory acceptability of the final product. has not been sufficiently explored as a probiotic in fermented meats, especially in terms of its effects on fermentation and sensory qualities.

Article Synopsis
  • This study compared the fermentation of three bacterial strains in camel and bovine milk, finding that all strains reached viable levels over 7.0 log CFU/mL after 16 hours.
  • The strain showed a higher growth count in both types of milk, while another strain had the most significant acidifying ability.
  • The research concluded that the effectiveness of these strains was influenced by factors like incubation time, the specific strain, and the type of milk used.

Postbiotics have gained attention in the food industry due to their functional properties and ease of use compared to their live parent cells. Postbiotics are the metabolic byproducts of probiotic microorganisms, offering advantages such as antimicrobial and anti-diabetic effects. The study aimed to explore the potential antibacterial, antioxidant, and cholesterol-lowering effects of postbiotics from Lactobacillus acidophilus (LA) and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (LbP) through in vitro and in vivo studies.

Akkermansia muciniphila Promotes SIgA Production and Alters the Reactivity Toward Commensal Bacteria in Early-Weaned Piglets.

Background: Secretory IgA (SIgA) is the first line of defense in protecting the intestinal epithelium against pathogenic bacteria, regulating gut microbiota composition, and maintaining intestinal homeostasis. Early weaning strategies may disrupt SIgA levels in piglet intestines, causing a decline in immune response and early weaning stress. However, the specific microbial mechanisms modulating SIgA in early-weaned piglets are not well understood.
