“…However, there were reports about decreased EPS production during stationary phase of growth by different LAB strains in different media, e.g. L. plantarum C88 in SDM media [Zhang et al, 2013b], L. plantarum 70810 in MRS-glucose media [Wang et al, 2014b], and L. helveticus MB2-1 in whey media . This decrease in EPS production after prolonged incubation was attributed to the possible presence of glycohydrolases in the culture that catalyzed the degradation of polysaccharides [Degeest et al, 2002].…”

“…This was different from those reported earlier specially fructose was seldom found in the EPSs produced by L. plantarum strains. For example, L. plant arum EP56 produced an EPS consisting of glucose, galactose and N-acetylgalactosamine [Tallon et al, 2003]; the EPS from L. plantarum C88 was comp osed of galactose and glucose [Zhang et al, 2013b]; L. plantarum 70810 produced two EPSs, bo th containing glucose, mannose and galactose with different molar ratios [Li et al, 2014c]; three monomers such as mannose, glucose and galactose were found in the EPS produced by L. plantarum KF5 [Wang et al, 2010]. The comm only used yogurt strains of S. therm ophilus and L. delbrueckii subsp.…”

“…Bacterial EPSs had the biosorption ability on the trace metal ions [Ye et al, 2014;Wang et al, 2014a]. EPS-producing LAB strains may provide other physiological benefits including antitumor, immunomodulation, lowering cholesterol and antioxidant activities Shao et al, 2014;Zhang et al, 2013a;Zhang et al, 2013b].…”
Lactobacillus plantarum SKT109 was isolated and identifi ed from Tibet Kefi r, and the exopolysaccharride (EPS)-producing properties of the strain were evaluated. Growth of strain SKT109 in a semi-defi ned medium at 37°C increased the viscosity of the medium, corresponding to production of an EPS (58.66 mg/L). The EPS was isolated and purifi ed, and it was shown to consist of fructose and glucose in an approximate molar ratio of 3:1, with an average molecular weight of 2.1×106 Da. The aqueous solution of EPS at 1% (w/v) exhibited shear thinning behavior. Microstructural studies of the EPS demonstrated a highly compact structure with a smooth surface, facilitating formation of fi lm by the polymer; the EPS was composed of many different sizes of spherical lumps with tendency to form molecular aggregates. Studies on the milk fermentation characteristics of L. plantarum SKT109 showed that the strain survived well in fermented milk with counts about 8.0 log cfu/g during 21 days of storage at 4°C. The use of the EPS--producing strain improved the rheology of the fermented milk without causing post-acidifi cation during storage. Particularly, L. plantarum SKT109 improved the fermented milk fl avor by increasing the concentration of characteristic fl avor compounds and eliminating those with dis gusting fl avors. The results of the present study indicated that EPS-producing L. plantarum SKT109 could serve as a promising candidate for further exploitation in fermented foods.

“…In addition, EPS-producing Lactobacillus plantarum C88 isolated from Chinese fermented food was found to display free radical scavenging ability which may involve scavenging of reactive oxygen species (ROS), up-regulation of enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant activities, and inhibition of lipid peroxidation. 23 Similarly strong and concentration-dependent antioxidant activities of LAB derived EPS have been reported in various antioxidant models in vitro 8,24 Zhang et al 25 also reported the strong antioxidant activity of pure EPS isolated from Lactobacillus plantarum C88. While in the presented research work, we utilized partially purified EPS which was extracted by using industrial MRS supplemented with glucose with lost cost production efficacy and showed efficient antioxidant effect.…”
This study was aimed to partially purify the exopolysaccharide (EPS) from the culture of Lactobacillus plantarum YML009 using ethanol precipitation method with a yield of 260 mg/L. Analytical evaluationby Bradford and Phenolsulphuric methods revealed the presence of 2.2% and 68.1% total protein and total sugar contents in partially purified EPS, respectively. Further, to confirm the biological potential, the EPS was evaluated for its antioxidant activity in various scavenging models including DPPH and nitrite radicals as well as reducing power ability. The partially purified EPS (5-40 mg/mL) displayed considerable amount of antioxidant efficacy on scavenging DPPH and nitrite radicals by 44.73%, and 43.93%, respectively. Moreover, EPS showed potentreducing power capacity along with total phenolic content 18.96 µg/mg of GAE.
