Nowadays, the interest has been increased regarding the commercial utilization of probiotic LAB strains isolated from traditional fermented food products. Therefore, the present study was aimed to investigate the probiotic properties of lactic acid bacteria isolated from traditional food sources viz. dosa batter and sauerkraut. Total 7 lactic acid bacteria were obtained, 4 from dosa batter and 3 from sauerkraut, out of which one isolate from each food source were selected based on their broadest antagonistic spectrum. These strains were identified using 16S r RNA technique as Lactobacillus plantarum DB-2 (isolated from dosa batter) and Lactobacillus plantarum SK-3 (isolated from sauerkraut). The investigation of acid-bile tolerance, antibiotic sensitivity, auto-aggregation, co-aggregation, bacterial adhesion to hydrocarbons were confirmed. The results revealed normal growth of L. plantarum DB-2 and L. plantarum sK-3 in the presence of low pH, high bile salt concentration and ability to produce antimicrobial compounds viz. bacteriocin and h2O2. No gelatinase, lipase and hemolytic activity were observed. Natural susceptibility to the tested antibiotics was investigated. Thus, according to these results, L. plantarum DB-2 and sK-3 proved the good probiotic candidates as they survived during stress conditions posing to them and can be exploited for the preparation of nutraceutical products. This study also revealed the potential of using LAB and /or bacteriocin produced by them as food bio preservative to control food borne pathogenic bacteria in near future.","PeriodicalId":419810,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Fermented Foods","volume":"518 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134036505","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The beverage is fermented using locally available rice varieties and traditional rice starter cultures containing a mixed population of indigenous microbes (yeast, bacteria and moulds) and topical medicinal plants. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the antibacterial property of the traditionally fermented rice beverage with respect to five different medicinal plants used individually in the starter culture namely Plumbago zeylanica, Thelypteris clarkei C.F. Reed, Clorodendrum D. Don, Leucas lavandulaefolia and Scoparia dulcis. All the beverages exhibited good antibacterial property in agar well diffusion assay with the beverage brewed using S. dulcis and L. lavandulaefolia showing the highest inhibition zone of 39.50 ± 0.70mm against B. cereus Control beverage brewed from the starter without medicinal plants showed the least inhibition zones ranging from 8.75±0.21mm to 15.67±0.45mm. Hence the investigations testified a potential increase antibacterial property of the traditional rice beverage which can be attributed to the addition of medicinal plants thus plausibly contributing to its curative and health-promoting property claimed by the local tribal folks of West Garo Hills, Meghalaya.","PeriodicalId":419810,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Fermented Foods","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124867508","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study Tungrymbai was analyzed for physico-chemical and microbial quality of pre-cooked and post-cooked samples prepared by using Lactobacillus fermentum and Lactobacillus plantarum culture combination in 1:1 ratio at 1, 2 and 3% culture combination. Shelf-life of the product was carried out by storing at 6 ̊C and 33 ̊C for 4 days. pH was found to decrease while titratable acidity increases as the number of storage days increases. Protein content was highest in Tungrymbai with 3% cell biomass. pH and titratable acidity was more in pre-cooked samples, whereas protein content was more in post-cooked samples. Lactobacillus count was found in all the samples, yeast and mold was observed only in the 4th day of storage and coliforms was absent in precooked samples. However, microbes were absent in post-cooked sample I and only Lactobacillus strain were detected in post-cooked samples II which indicates that the cooking procedure and heat intensity while cooking affect the Lactobacillus strains. Therefore, awareness can be created for the preparation method of Tungrymbai without cooking the product, to get the beneficial properties of Tungrymbai prepared with Lactobacillus strains.","PeriodicalId":419810,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Fermented Foods","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131299866","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
