“…Thus, fermented foods are produced depending on factors such as nature of microorganisms, ingredients and environmental conditions [3][4][5]. In more detail, there might be different kinds of fermentation processes; these include alcoholic fermentation (yeasts), lactic acid fermentation (lactic acid bacteria) and acetic acid fermentation (Bacillus or molds) [6][7][8][9][10].It is well known that fermented foods can be characterized by enhanced nutritional properties and health-promoting effects [11][12][13][14][15][16].…”

We compared hepatoprotective effects between fermented rice bran (FRB) and fermented rice germ and soybean (FRS) in a Sprague-Dawley (SD) rat model of alcohol-induced hepatic injury (AIHI). To establish an SD rat model of AIHI, the SD rats were given 30% ethanol or water without ethanol treatment. Then, they were given 30% ethanol followed by FRB or FRS at concentrations of 15% or 30%. Our results indicate that the FRB might be more effective in lowering serum levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP), malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in the serum and liver mitochondria, serum triglyceride levels and ALDH levels at a concentration of 15%, serum levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), GSH levels at a concentration of 30% and MDA levels in the liver homogenate and microsome, and hepatic triglyceride levels at both concentrations as compared with the FRS. It can therefore be concluded that FRB might also be considered as an alternative to FRS in improving the AIHI.

“…Several food products derived from the fermentation of food-related raw materials have been found to contain ingredients with specific biological activities and health benefits against these disorders, such as antioxidant, antimicrobial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic and anti-atherosclerotic activities [ 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ]. Specific beverages produced from fermentation, including alcoholic ones, also contain bioactive ingredients, such as bioactive polar lipids (PLs) with antithrombotic properties against platelet aggregation [ 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 ].…”

Structural Elucidation of Irish Ale Bioactive Polar Lipids with Antithrombotic Properties

et al. 2020

The structures of bioactive polar lipids (PLs) of Irish ale with potent antithrombotic and cardioprotective properties were elucidated. Ale PL was fractionated by preparative thin layer chromatography (TLC) into subclasses, and their antithrombotic effect was assessed against human platelet aggregation induced by the pro-inflammatory mediator, platelet-activating factor (PAF). The fatty acid content and the overall structures of ale PL were elucidated by liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Phosphatidylcholines (PC) and molecules of the sphingomyelin (SM) family exhibited the strongest anti-PAF effects, followed by phosphatidylethanolamines (PE). PC contained higher amounts of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA) and thus the lowest n-6/n-3 ratio. Bioactive diacyl and alkyl-acyl PC and PE molecules bearing n-3 PUFA at their sn-2 position, especially docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and α-linolenic acid (ALA) but mostly oleic acid (OA), were identified in both PC and PE subclasses. Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) was present only in bioactive PC molecules and not in PE, explaining the lower anti-PAF effects of PE. Bioactive sphingolipid and glycolipid molecules with reported anti-inflammatory and anti-tumour properties, such as specific ceramides and glucosylcerebrosides with sphingosine, phytosphingosine and dihydrosphingosine bases but also specific monogalactodiglycerides and SM species bearing ALA at their sn-2 position, were identified in the SM subclass, providing a rational for its strong bioactivities against the PAF pathway. Further studies are required on the health benefits of bioactive PL from beer and brewery by-products.

Study on the applicability of potentially probiotic strain Lactobacillus plantarum L4 to be included in the development of strategies for bio-preservation of food products

et al. 2022

The antimicrobial activity of potentially probiotic strains is important for their possible application in the development of successful strategies for bio-preservation of different foods. The antimicrobial activity of the potentially probiotic strain Lactobacillus plantarum L4 against the pathogenic bacteria Salmonella abony; Staphylococcus aureus; Escherichia coli and the phytopathogenic fungi Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus flavus was determined using agar-diffusion assay with wells. Lb. plantarum L4 exhibited high antagonistic activity against all test microorganisms included in the study, which was due not only to the production and accumulation of lactic acid and other organic acids, but also to the production of other bioactive substances. The bioactive substances were then submitted to the action of different enzymes. This allowed to observe that they have protein nature, suggesting that they are likely bacteriocins or bacteriocin-like substances. The substances produced by Lb. plantarum L4 did not lose their antimicrobial activity during heat treatment at temperatures above 100 °С for 15 min and they exhibited high inhibitory activity against the test-microorganisms when pH ranged between 4 and 7. After further examination of the properties of the produced antimicrobial compounds, Lb. plantarum L4 can be used in the development of strategies for bio-preservation of different food products.
