“…Here, the FRe reduced the pathogenic bacteria ( E. coli , Enterococci , and anaerobes) and preserved the beneficial bacteria ( Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria ). Our previous studies have demonstrated the laxative effects of FRe on constipation (Choi et al, ) and the growth‐stimulating effects on lactic acid bacteria (Lee, Cho, Kim, Sohn, & Choi, ). In addition, the FRe enhances the laxative activity of yoghurt (Choi, Kim, Kim, Lee, Sohn, et al, ).…”

“…The FRe has shown favorable laxative effects in normal conditions (Choi et al, ) or constipation animal model (Choi et al, ), and it has no acute toxicity (Choi, Kim, Kim, Ku, & Sohn, ). Further, the FRe has synergic probiotic effects with yoghurt (Choi, Kim, Kim, Lee, Sohn, et al, ) and growth‐stimulating effects on lactic acid bacteria (i.e., Bifidobacterium lactis, Lactobacillus acidophilus, and Streptococcus thermophilus ) responsible for gut health (Lee, Cho, Kim, Lim, et al, ). Given that the oligosaccharides and Bificobacteria themselves can promote the growth of lactic acid bacteria (Hopkins, Cummings, & Macfarlane, ), the dietary FRe may be effective in IBD patients.…”

Protective effects of fermented rice extract on ulcerative colitis induced by dextran sodium sulfate in mice

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), characterized by the gut mucosal ulceration. Growing evidence indicates that dysregulation of immune response to the commensal microbiota involves the pathogenesis of IBD. Previous studies have demonstrated the favorable probiotic effects of fermented rice extracts through triple fermentation with Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Weissella cibaria (FRe). Thus, the therapeutic potential of FRe for UC was examined. Dextran sodium sulfate UC mice model was orally administered distilled water as a control, sulfasalazine, or FRe at 300, 200, and 100 mg/kg, once a day for a week. The UC control exhibited body weight loss, bloody stools, and colonic shortening. However, the FRe, especially at 300 mg/kg, led to a reduction in weight loss, disease activity index scores, and colon weight, and an increase in colorectal length. The histopathological analyses revealed mild changes involved in the colonic crypt and mucosal damages in the FRe groups, along with inhibited inflammation. Indeed, the FRe reduced neutrophil infiltration and production of proinflammatory cytokines (i.e., tumor necrosis factor‐α, interleukin‐6/‐8). This was accompanied by the down‐regulation of nuclear factor‐kappa B. The gene expression responsible for the intestinal barrier integrity (i.e., Zonna occludens‐1/‐2, Claudin‐1, Occludin, Mucin‐1/‐2) was up‐regulated in the FRe groups. In addition, the FRe reduced lipid peroxidation and enhanced antioxidant activity. Interestingly, the microbiota dysbiosis was attenuated in the FRe groups, and the number of beneficial bacteria, Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria, was increased. It suggests that the FRe potently ameliorate UC as a functional food.

“…lactis were the same for all samples during the fermentation [ 166 ]. Among the positive effects of plant extracts, it is worth noting how the addition of rice extract to yogurt greatly stimulated the growth of not only lactic acid bacteria, but also bifidobacteria, which was probably due to its high content of panose [ 167 ]. Despite the predominantly antimicrobial properties of Aloe barbadensis and Aloe arborescens [ 168 ], aqueous extracts of the internal parenchyma did not inhibit the growth of lactic acid bacteria, and the growth stimulating effect on L. acidophilus was observed at 5% inclusion [ 169 ].…”

Biologically Active Supplements Affecting Producer Microorganisms in Food Biotechnology: A Review

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Microorganisms, fermentation processes, and the resultant metabolic products are a key driving force in biotechnology and, in particular, in food biotechnology. The quantity and/or quality of final manufactured food products are directly related to the efficiency of the metabolic processes of producer microorganisms. Food BioTech companies are naturally interested in increasing the productivity of their biotechnological production lines. This could be achieved via either indirect or direct influence on the fundamental mechanisms governing biological processes occurring in microbial cells. This review considers an approach to improve the efficiency of producer microorganisms through the use of several types of substances or complexes affecting the metabolic processes of microbial producers that are of interest for food biotechnology, particularly fermented milk products. A classification of these supplements will be given, depending on their chemical nature (poly- and oligosaccharides; poly- and oligopeptides, individual amino acids; miscellaneous substances, including vitamins and other organic compounds, minerals, and multicomponent supplements), and the approved results of their application will be comprehensively surveyed.
