Propionic acid bacteria and their significance

The current concern in the cosmetic industry is preparing of cosmetics products from aggressive preservatives-free natural, environmentally friendly ingredients, which would protect skin from external disturbance. The purpose of our work is to develop a biotechnological method for obtaining a cosmetic mask based on fermented curd whey in the presence of therapeutic mud. We used standard methods for determining microbiological and physicochemical parameters. The optimal concentration of therapeutic mud for fermentation was determined by quantitative estimation method of cells in the HMS nutrient medium after fermentation in pasteurized curd whey with the addition of different amounts of therapeutic mud. The result of the study is development of a cosmetic mask based on fermented whey mixture adding 10% of therapeutic mud of nutrient medium volume. The addition of therapeutic mud in an amount of 10% of nutrient medium volume contributed to increase of biomass of propionic acid bacteria up to 82×108 units and to the regulation of the pH of medium. Control of the finished mixture for microbiological, physical-chemical, organoleptic indicators showed the absence of pathogenic microflora and the content of propionic acid bacteria 1·108 units. The results of the study allow to characterize the ready mix as a product that combines biologically active substances, microelements, therapeutic mud hormones and metabolites of propionic acid bacteria, which can form the basis for the preparation of any cosmetics. The paper also proposes a method for preparing a cosmetic mask from fermented curd whey with propionic acid bacteria in the presence of therapeutic mud and a recipe for their manufacture with the addition of bentonite clay to stabilize the system. Prototypes of the obtained mask show skin elasticity and complexion improvement and smoothing of fine wrinkles.

Production of cheeses from thermally processed milk at an industrial scale is impossible without using commercial bacterial starter cultures that include a limited number of species and strains of microorganisms. This leads to the fact that sensory indicators of mass-produced cheeses practically do not differ. Traditional cheeses from unpasteurized milk are distinguished by more pronounced and diverse tastes. Scientific literature describes the significant taxonomic variety of microbiota of traditional cheeses, including non-starter lactobacilli. Sensory indicators and safety of cheeses directly depend on the composition of this microbiota. This study examines the main moments of the taxonomic reform of lactobacilli, which resulted in union of two families Lactobacillaceae and Leuconostocaceae, and division of the genus Lactobacillus into 25 genera. New description of the family and several species of lactobacilli used in starter cultures is given. The authors demonstrate the complex autochthonous microbiota of cheeses and a possibility of stabilization of fermentation upon cheese making from raw milk and improvement of their quality without losing individuality due to the introduction of selected autochthonous additional cultures. When cheeses are made from pasteurized milk, these cultures improve sensory characteristics of a product and impart the original flavor to them. Several studies show that probiotic bacteria intensively develop and maintain viability for a long time even in long-ripened cheeses. Such cheeses can be carriers of live probiotics and their metabolites that are beneficial for the consumer health. This review summarizes information about promising directions of extension of the species spectrum of additional cultures for creation of domestic starter cultures for cheese making. Taking into consideration that microbiology of cheese making is quite a wide field that is not fully studied, the review does not claim to be the comprehensive analysis of all existing approaches.
