Abstract
ABSTRACT Hypercholesterolemia prevalence is increasing in most countries and it increases the risk of microvascular and cardiovascular diseases. Currently available treatments include the use of statins, fibrates, and bile acid sequesters. These treatments carry a risk of severe side effects on the host. Probiotics are well documented for their cholesterol-lowering abilities. The present study has demonstrated the screening of probiotic bacteria from buttermilk samples, their ability to deconjugate bile salts, and cholesterol-lowering ability in the media. Bile salt hydrolysis by the isolates was evaluated by direct plate assay, thin layer chromatography, and cholic acid estimation. The highest amount of cholesterol was removed in the presence of 0.3% bile. Co-precipitation of cholesterol along with cholic acid was also observed. Three isolates considered potent based on their performance through all the tests were identified by 16S- rRNA gene sequencing as PGB01- Lacticaseibacillus paracasei, PGB02- Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, and PGB05- Lacticaseibacillus paracasei subsp. tolerans.
期刊介绍:
Food Biotechnology is an international, peer-reviewed journal that is focused on current and emerging developments and applications of modern genetics, enzymatic, metabolic and systems-based biochemical processes in food and food-related biological systems. The goal is to help produce and improve foods, food ingredients, and functional foods at the processing stage and beyond agricultural production.
Other areas of strong interest are microbial and fermentation-based metabolic processing to improve foods, food microbiomes for health, metabolic basis for food ingredients with health benefits, molecular and metabolic approaches to functional foods, and biochemical processes for food waste remediation. In addition, articles addressing the topics of modern molecular, metabolic and biochemical approaches to improving food safety and quality are also published.
Researchers in agriculture, food science and nutrition, including food and biotechnology consultants around the world will benefit from the research published in Food Biotechnology. The published research and reviews can be utilized to further educational and research programs and may also be applied to food quality and value added processing challenges, which are continuously evolving and expanding based upon the peer reviewed research conducted and published in the journal.
