The Use of Cellobiose and Fructooligosaccharide on Growth and Stability of <i>Bifidobacterium infantis</i> in Fermented Milk

Abstract: The effects of cellobiose, fructooligosaccharide and their combination on fermentation of skim milk by probiotic Bifidobacterium infantis were evaluated using mean doubling time as a parameter for sustaining growth. The lowest mean doubling time was observed for 2% cellobiose, followed by a combination of 2% fructooligosaccharide (FOS) with 2% cellobiose, while during storage at 4˚C for 4 weeks of fermented milk, no significant differences were observed between fermented milk supplemented with 2% cellobiose an… Show more

“…The mixtures of WS-LMWC oligomers could be used as food additives for their assumed prebiotic properties and positive effects on health, as recently found using cello-oligosaccharides produced by many conventional pathways. 29,30 In addition, the WI-LMWC fraction could be used as a direct compression excipient in fast-release drugs, as LMW cellulose II powders have already shown improved properties in such applications compared to those formulated using conventional MCC. 31,32 Nevertheless, using supercritical water to hydrolyse cellulose remains a recent approach and its potential beyond that of scientific curiosity remains unclear even today.…”

“…Similarly, Celestin et al ( 2015 ) reported that FOS supplementation in goat milk yogurts resulted in a higher cell count of L. acidophilus than B. bifidum . On the other hand, no effect of FOS supplementation was reported on the growth of B. infantis in fermented milk (Basholli-Salihu et al 2013 ), B. animalis subsp. lactis in fermented cream cheese (Speranza et al 2018 ) and B. animalis Bb-12 in soymilk (Battistini et al 2018 ).…”

“…The effect of cellobiose supplementation on the performance, health status, and digestive traits of growing rabbits has been evaluated (Ocasio-Vega et al., 2019 ; Zhong et al., 2019 ). Moreover, Bifidobacterium infantis remains viable during 4 weeks of storage in milk supplemented with cellobiose, suggesting the usefulness of cellobiose as a prebiotic ingredient in fermented products involving bifidobacteria (Basholli-Salihu et al., 2013 ). When cellobiose is ingested by humans, there is no increase in blood glucose or insulin secretion, and orally ingested cellobiose is well fermented in the large intestine (Ruiz-Matute et al., 2011 ).…”
