    Lactic acid bacteria, a group of microorganisms that can ferment sugars into lactic acid, are widely used in the production of yogurt products. Different lactic acid bacteria exhibit different fermentation characteristics, which not only alter the physicochemical properties of yogurt but also have a significant impact on its nutritional value. This paper reviews the relationship between yoghurt products and microbial metabolism with a special focus on the role and influence of microorganisms in yoghurt making. The production of yogurt relies on the fermentation of specific microorganisms, such as lactic acid bacteria, which not only convert lactose to lactic acid, change the pH and texture of yogurt, but also synthesize a range of bioactive substances, such as vitamins, thereby having a positive impact on the health of consumers. This paper summarizes recent advances in understanding the fermentation mechanism of yoghurt, revealing the contribution of microbial diversity to product characteristics. In addition, this paper also discusses the health benefits of microbial metabolites in yogurt, including improving intestinal health and enhancing immunity. It is hoped that this review will provide a scientific basis and technical guidance for the research and development of yogurt products.

    Probiotics have been extensively researched for their health advantages, but their poor stability and viability prevent them from being used in foods and medicine on a larger scale. Compared with probiotics, postbiotics have the advantages of higher safety and stability in its existing form, which avoids the limitation of probiotics. In 2021, the International Scientific Association for Probiotics and Prebiotics defined postbiotics as preparation of inanimate microorganisms and/or their components that confers a health benefit on the host including bacterial components and metabolites, such as cell-free supernatant, cell lysate, extracellular polysaccharide, peptidoglycan, short-chain fatty acids, and organic acids. Postbiotic components exhibit varying beneficial effects on the host, such as regulating immunity and lipid metabolism, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-tumor, and antibacterial activities, and on product processing as an antibacterial, stabilizing and emulsifying agent. This paper provides an overview of the methods for separating, preparing and identifying postbiotics. It also summarizes the potential functional characteristics of probiotics, their processing characteristics in dairy products and their potential application value. This review provides a theoretical basis for the application of postbiotics as good raw materials in the medical and food fields.

    Bacteriocin can be used as a natural non-toxic antibacterial agent in foods because of its resistance to foodborne pathogens and spoilage bacteria. Bioinformatics is a subject based on computer science and applied mathematics, which aims to locate the functional genes by searching for and comparing the biological information measured in the field of life science and analyzing the related nucleic acid information and structural protein genes. Transcriptomics aims to analyze all RNA transcribed by different cells or tissues under specific conditions at the overall transcriptional level, providing insights into biological pathways and molecular regulatory mechanisms. By comparing mass transcriptome sequencing data with the reference genome, the genetic information of transcripts can be quantitatively analyzed at the level of gene expression. Gene ontology (GO) annotation and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis can be used to speculate the functional characteristics of differentially expressed genes selected by differential expression folds and further understand the mechanism of the synthesis of bacteriocin and other metabolites. Transcriptome sequencing is a safe and economical technology that is expected to provide a new approach for the large-scale production of bacteriocins.

    Abstract448)   HTML8)    PDF (2000KB)(1144)       Save
    The growth of twelve Lactobacillus strains and six Bifidobacterium strains on a medium containing 13 carbohydrates including prebiotics (fructooligosaccharide (FOS), FOS (Vilof), xylooligosaccharide (XOS), galactooligosaccharide (GOS), short-chain inulin, long-chain inulin, isomalto oligosaccharide (IMO), stachyose, resistant dextrin, polydextrose, L-arabinose, lactitol, and erythritol) as sole carbon sources was compared using lactose as a control. Optical density at 600 nm (OD600 nm) and pH were recorded after 24 and 72 h of culture. Results showed great differences in the growth of strains on different carbohydrates. Resistant dextrin, polydextrose, and erythritol showed very limited growth promotion effects on all the strains after 24 h, probably because these strains lack the enzymes that hydrolyze glycosidic bonds. The growth promotion effects of FOS, XOS, GOS, inulin, stachyose, L-arabinose and lactitol were strain specific, presumably because of the different extracellular or intracellular enzymes secreted by each strain. Long-chain inulin slowed down the fermentation of Lactobacillus acidophilus, but was not applicable to the other strains. Despite being derived from the same source, the FOS from different manufactures showed different effects on the fermentation characteristics of strains, presumably because of the different contents of impurities they had. It was postulated that some prebiotics are beneficial to human health not by directly working on promoting the growth of lactobacilli or bifidobacteria in vivo; instead, they are degraded by other bacteria in the gut before being utilized by probiotic strains.

    This study investigated the cytotoxicity of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) on normal human liver cell line L-02 and evaluated oxidative damage caused by AFB1 based on changes in cell proliferation rate, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA) contents. The relative survival rate of the cells was determined by colorimetry using VC as a cytoprotectant. The extent of AFB1-induced apoptosis in L-02 cells as well as the underlying mechanism was assessed by changes in the cell cycle and cell apoptosis rate. The results showed that the AFB1 exposure concentration was determined as 40 μg/mL based on its half maximum inhibitory concentration (IC50) and VC concentrations for maximum cell viability ranged from 0.025 to 0.250 mg/mL. AFB1-induced cell damage was not attenuated at VC concentrations ≥ 0.5 mg/mL. ROS levels in the VC and VC + AFB1 groups were higher than in the control group but lower than in the AFB1 group, implying that VC can help reduce the MDA level in the cells and attenuate oxidative damage. Cell apoptosis and cycle analysis showed that AFB1 increased the percentage of apoptotic cells at the mid-late stage of apoptosis and that addition of VC inhibited the occurrence of apoptosis. Moreover, AFB1 induced cell cycle arrest in the G0/G1 phase and cell cycle parameters returned to almost normal after addition of VC.

    In this study, whey protein was glycosylated with fucoidin under dry conditions. The change of browning degree was investigated during the glycosylation process, and the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging capacity and iron reducing power of the reaction products at different reaction times were measured. The results showed that the glycosylation reaction could significantly increase the degree of browning. In addition, compared with whey protein or fucoidin alone, glycosylation significantly increased the DPPH radical scavenging capacity and reducing power of their mixtures at various ratios. The DPPH radical scavenging capacity of their 1:3 mixture reached the maximum (74.28%) at 80 h, a 30% increase compared with that at 0 h. However, it was lower than that of 0.01% VC.

    Small molecule saponins are highly physiologically active and exert their biological effects only when interacting with biomolecules in the target cells in the human body. α-Lactalbumin (α-LA) is a globular protein that binds to hydrophobic ligands and has been used as a functional ingredient in the food industry. In this study, the interaction between two types of saponins (dammarane-type and oleanane-type) and α-LA was investigated using computer simulations, and their interaction patterns were imaged. The molecular docking results showed that each type of saponins binds to amino acid residues within the active pocket of α-LA via hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonding. However, dammarane-type saponins are more complex in structure, providing more binding sites, and they form hydrogen bonds via greater force.

    In order to prepare lyophilized cells of Bifidobacterium bifidum TMC3115 with high viability, the impact of the initial pH of the medium, different carbon and nitrogen sources, and inoculum quantity on the viable cell count was studied by the one-factor-at-a-time method. Subsequently, an orthogonal array design was applied to optimize combinations of carbon and nitrogen sources based on the pH of the medium at 16 h of culture, cell density (expressed as optical density) and viable cell count. The efficacy of 18 cryoprotectants on the probiotic strain was investigated, and the optimization of cryoprotectant blends was carried out using an orthogonal array design. The results showed that when the initial medium pH was 7.2 and the inoculum amount was 4%, the viable cell count reached the highest. The optimized medium was composed of glucose 25 g/L, tryptone 20 g/L, yeast peptone 10 g/L, yeast extract FM902 15 g/L, diammonium citrate 2 g/L, anhydrous sodium acetate 5 g/L, dipotassium phosphate 2 g/L, Tween-80 1 g/L, magnesium sulfate 0.58 g/L, manganese sulfate 0.25 g/L, and L-cysteine hydrochloride 0.5 g/L. The optimal cryoprotectant was composed of skim milk 12%, trehalose 12%, glycerol 1.2%, sodium glutamate 0.6%, and L-cysteine hydrochloride 0.15%. The viable cell count of the freeze-dried culture produced under the optimized conditions reached 4.26 × 1011 CFU/g.

    Milk fat is secreted mainly in the form of fat globules (MFG) from the mammary glands of female mammals into the milk. The MFG particle size ranges from 0.2 to 15.0 μm. MFG sizes can affect the health of newborns and the physical and chemical properties of dairy products. As the size of MFG is determined by intracellular lipid droplets during the secretion of mammary epithelial cells, the regulation factors of lipid droplet size include intracellular triglyceride (TG) level and enzymes involved in the synthesis and hydrolysis of TG, enzyme, membrane phospholipid, and lipid droplet fusion, etc. This review mainly describes the synthesis and structure of MFG, the regulation of MFG particle size and its impact on human nutrition, dairy processing and lipid droplet size fusion, which will provide reference for the application of milk fat globule size.

    Abstract283)   HTML2)    PDF (1912KB)(782)       Save
    The monosaccharide composition and antioxidant activity of extracellular polysaccharides from Lactobacillus plantarum were analyzed. Crude polysaccharides were obtained from the fermentation broth of Lactobacillus plantarum by water extraction and alcohol precipitation and were fractionated into two fractions (DZ-1 and DZ-2) by DEAE-52 cellulose column chromatography. The monosaccharide components of DZ-1 and DZ-2 were analyzed by gas chromatography, and their antioxidant activity was tested using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhy drazyl (DPPH), hydroxyl radical, and 2,2’-diazo bis-3-ethyl benzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) cation radical scavenging assays. DZ-1 was a homopolysaccharide composed of only glucose units, while DZ-2 was a heteropolysaccharide composed of arabinose and galactose with a content ratio of 46.03:53.89. Both DZ-1 and DZ-2 had the ability to scavenge DPPH, hydroxyl and ABTS cation radicals.

    Abstract133)   HTML1)    PDF (2598KB)(329)       Save
    The growth, acid production and changes in viable cell count of 8 strains of Leuconstoc mesenteroides were measured in chemically defined medium (CDM) with different carbon sources or skim milk. The results showed that there were significant differences in the growth of these strains in CDM with lactose or galactose as the single carbon source. Strains LM1, LM2, LM4 and LM8 grew well in CDM with lactose as the single carbon source. Strains LM2, LM3, LM5 and LM8 had stronger vitality in CDM with galactose as the single carbon source, but their growth was weaker than that in the presence of lactose. In skim milk, the viable cell count of all experimental strains increased obviously in the early fermentation stage. After 8 h, their growth entered the stable phase, and the pH value at the end of fermentation was above 6.0. While the differences in genes related to lactose and galactose metabolism were preliminarily compared among the strains in this study, the correlation between genes and phenotypes needs to be further analyzed based on lactose hydrolase activity and lactose and galactose residues.

    An ultra-high performance liquid chromatography tandem triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method was established for the determination of six quaternary ammonium disinfectant residues in milk-containing food for special medical purposes. The sample was extracted with 80% acetonitrile in water and the extract was separated on a RRHD Eclipse Plus C18 column, detected in the positive ion mode using an electrospray ionization source with multiple reaction monitoring (MRM), and quantified by matrix-matched standard calibration. The calibration curves for the six quaternary ammonium disinfectants was linear in the concentration range of 0.1–5.0 ng/mL with correlation coefficient higher than 0.996 0. The limit of detection (LOD) was 0.5 μg/kg and the limit of quantification (LOQ) was 1 μg/kg. The recoveries were 72.8%-102.3% for spiked solid matrix samples, and 71.8%–100.8% for spiked liquid matrix samples with relative standard deviations (RSDs) in the range of 0.25%–3.88% and 0.19%–2.51%, respectively. The proposed method is simple, efficient, rapid, sensitive, and suitable for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of quaternary ammonium disinfectant residues in food for special medical purposes.

    Abstract341)   HTML4)    PDF (1553KB)(1005)       Save
    Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) are a group of complex glycans occurring in human breast milk that play important roles in the growth and development of infants. More than 200 distinct kinds of HMOs have been identified so far. The naturally occurring mixtures of HMOs in humans have different components and profiles that reflect the mother’s genetic makeup (e.g., Lewis blood type), duration of lactation, life style, diet and geographic region. A number of functions that may protect the health of breast-fed infants have been reviewed for HMOs. However, available information on the content and profiles of HMOs in human milk, especially among Chinese mothers, is limited. Therefore, further research on the relationship between the structure and functions of HMOs and a databank of HMOs from Chinese mothers are needed in order to establish a firm scientific basis and specific guidelines for improved infant formula in the future.

    As the core component of dairy products, milk proteins possess rich nutritional value and a variety of bioactive functions. There are complex interactions (covalent bonding, non-covalent bonding, etc.) between active molecules (such as polyphenols, polysaccharides and vitamins) and milk proteins. These interactions not only affect the structure and functional properties of milk proteins (such as emulsifying properties, solubility, foaming properties, and gelling properties), but also may have significant impacts on food processing and preservation, as well as the nutritional value and functionality of final products. This review summarizes the interaction mechanisms between milk proteins and several types of active molecules and their effects on functional properties. It is of great significance for a systematic understanding of the binding between milk proteins and active molecules and provides a theoretical basis for in-depth research and industrial production of dairy products.

    Journal of Dairy Science and Technology    2021, 44 (3): 12-18.   DOI: 10.15922/j.cnki.jdst.2021.03.003
    Abstract264)   HTML0)    PDF (2327KB)(487)       Save
    The impact of adding polysaccharides extracted from liquid-cultured mycelia of Inonotus obliquus into yak yogurt on its sensory evaluation score and titratable acidity was investigated to determine the optimal addition amount of the polysaccharides. The process parameters for producing yak yogurt with added Inonotus obliquus polysaccharides were optimized, and the quality of the yogurt prepared under optimized conditions was evaluated and compared with that of yogurt without added Inonotus obliquus polysaccharides as a control. The results showed that addition of 0.4% Inonotus obliquus polysaccharides to yak yogurt led to the highest sensory score together with a moderate acidity. Using orthogonal array design, the optimal process conditions were determined as follows: ratio of Streptococcus thermophilus G2 to Lactobacillus paracasei L9, 1:1; fermentation time, 14 h; temperature, 38 ℃; and sucrose concentration, 8 g/100 mL. Compared with the control, the as-prepared yogurt increased the number of viable lactic acid bacteria, titratable acidity and water-holding capacity by 34.1%, 11.0% and 16.8% respectively, and the pH value decreased accordingly. Addition of Inonotus obliquus polysaccharides into yak yogurt improved its firmness and viscosity as well as flavor.
