“…In addition, the authors highlighted that probiotic cultures do not replace good manufacturing practices, since they found no antagonistic effect of Lactobacillus acidophilus on Listeria innocua. Also, in vivo studies should be performed to confirm the funtionaly of the probiotic in fruit salad (Lollo et al, 2015). ).…”

This work aimed to study the use of fruit salads as carriers for Lactobacillus rhamnosus HN001. We evaluated the viability of this probiotic in fruit salads and the phsyico-chemical, microbiological and sensory properties of this food. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to verify microorganism adhesion on the fruit tissues. The viability of L. rhamnosus in fruit salads was 8.49 log CFU . g -1 after 120 hours. SEM images showed that fruit tissue provided protection for probiotic. Adhesion sites were observed in higher quantity in banana, apple and guava. The addition of L. rhamnosus did not alter texture of fruits (p > 0.05). Fruit salads containing probiotic had different values of pH and acidity compared to the control (p < 0.05). Ascorbic acid content decreased over time; however, total carotenoids did not significantly decrease (p > 0.05). Fruit salads containing L. rhamnosus showed counts of psychotrophic microorganisms of at least 2.0 log CFU . g -1 lower than control salad after 120 h of refrigerated storage. The fruit salad was well accepted by consumers. Therefore, this product can be used as a carrier for probiotic and an alternative to consuming functional foods.Keywords: acceptability; fruit mix; microscopy; probiotic carrier.Practical Application: Fruit salads can be used as a carrier for probiotic bacteria.

“…In one such study, the cardiovascular impact of Minas Frescal cheese consumption was assessed in hypertensive rats. The consumption of this cheese resulted in the significant lowering of blood pressure and an improved lipid profile in the rats (Lollo et al, 2015a). Furthermore, another study examined probiotic fermented milk treated by dynamic high pressure, which was fed to rats for 2 weeks.…”

Given that fermented dairy products exhibit high bioactivities against cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), the anti-thrombotic properties, fatty acid profiles and sensory properties of cow, goat and ewe derived Greek yogurts have been assessed and compared. The total lipids (TL), total polar lipids (TPL), total neutral lipids (TNL) were obtained and the polar lipid fractions were further separated by thin layer chromatography (TLC). These lipid samples (TL, TPL and TLC fractions) were subsequently assessed for their biological activity against atherosclerosis based on the in vitro inhibition of Platelet Activating Factor (PAF)-induced platelet aggregation. The fatty acid compositions of all yogurts were analyzed by Gas Chromatography with flame ionization detector (GC-FID). Goat yogurt lipids have been found to exert more potent inhibitory activity (i.e. lower IC50 values in both TL and TPL samples) in contrast to the corresponding fractions of cow and ewe yogurts. The observed sensory data indicates that ewe yogurt was the most palatable of all three Greek yogurts.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the protective effects of exopolysaccharide (EPS) production on resistance to gastrointestinal digestive conditions and oxalate by probiotic strains of the species Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus fermentum and Lactobacillus brevis. The oxalate‐degrading ability of the strains was determined using an enzymatic assay. The correlation between oxalate degradation rate and EPS production was not significant (P > 0.05); however, the high‐EPS‐producing L. fermentumIP5 and L. brevisYG7 strains showed high oxalate‐degrading activity, whereas the low‐EPS‐producing strain L. fermentumBP5 demonstrated low oxalate‐degrading activity. The present findings suggest that dietary supplementation with the probiotic strain L. fermentumIP5 could be a promising strategy for the prevention of oxalate stone disease.
