Abstract:
The present invention is related to the field of bioprotection, in particular to the strain of Lactobacillus rhamnosus CHCC5366 with accession no. DSM23035. Furthermore, the present invention concerns an antifungal composition comprising the strain, an antifungal composition comprising the strain and at least one strain of Lactobacillus paracasei, food, feed and pharmaceutical products comprising such an antifungal composition, a method of manufacturing such food, feed and pharmaceutical products, a method for reducing the content of yeasts and molds of such food, feed and pharmaceutical products and uses of the antifungal composition.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the field of dairy technology, in particular it relates to a method for assessing rheological properties of acidified milk gels (milk gels), including determination of shear stress, gel firmness and water-holding capacity. The method can be used to determine rheological properties of acidified milk, e.g. yoghurt and fresh cheese, in a fast and reliable way. The present invention also relates to a method of screening for microbial cultures resulting in fermented milk with desired rheological properties. By using an automated microtiter-plate pipetting station equipped with a pressure sensor inside the air displacement barrel of each pipette, it is possible to monitor real-time changes in pressure, when aspirating and dispensing milk gels, and then correlate the pressure versus time data obtained with milk gel rheological properties such as shear stress, gel firmness and water-holding capacity.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a bacterial cell with texturizing property, starter cultures comprising the cell, and dairy products fermented with the starter culture.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to mutants of lactic acid bacteria which are resistant to the antibiotic ampicillin and which were found to give an increased texture when grown in milk while maintaining the other growth properties of the parent strain. The present invention, furthermore, relates to compositions comprising such mutants, and to dairy products fermented with the lactic acid bacteria resistant to ampicillin.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for reducing the concentration of pathogenic organisms such as Listeria spp. in fermented food products. The method comprises the steps of: (i) providing a food material, (ii) mixing said food material with a starter culture, (iii) mixing the food material with at least one adjunct culture in form of a bacteriocin-producing Pediococcus species, (iv) subjecting the mixture provided in step (iii) to a fermentation process, said fermentation process being conducted at conditions that are sub-optimal for growth of the bacteriocin-producing Pediococcus species in order to provide a limited acidification and allow for a high production of bacteriocin, and obtain a fermented food product. Furthermore, the invention relates to the use of bacteriocin-producing Pediococcus species as an adjunct culture for securing microbial safety of fermented food products.
Abstract:
1. A composition, which is an anthocyanin-based colorant composition comprising 50-90 mol-%, based on the total amount of anthocyanins, of pelargonidin-based anthocyanins, and wherein (i) >70 mol-% of all anthocyanins are acylated with at least one phenolic acid; and (ii) >20 mol-% of all anthocyanins are acylated with at least one hydroxycinnamic acid; and wherein the composition has a red color with a hue value H≧in the L*C*h* color system in the range of 10-30, measured at an L*-value of (70.0±0.1) in a 0.1 mol/l trisodium citrate dihydrate buffer at pH 3 in a 1 cm-length quartz cell using Spectraflash 650 (Datacolor) in transmission mode under D65 illuminant 10 Deg. Also, the present invention relates to use of the above compositions as a food colorant.

Abstract:
A bacillus composition characterized by fast germination and outgrowth in bile salts (simulated gut environment) and by producing a compound of interest. The bacillus composition may be used as supplement in animal feed where it has a probiotic (health promoting) effect and increases the digestion and availability of nutrients from animal feeds.
Abstract:
In the beer fermentation process, Pichia spp. yeast strains can be combined with normal beer yeast strains and with different hop varieties to produce synergistic effects, including the increased production in the fermentation product of esters, e.g., increased levels of isoamyl acetate, isobutyl acetate, ethyl propionate, ethyl valerate, ethyl butyrate, ethyl decanoate, and ethyl octanoate. Additionally, the Pichia spp. strain interacts differently with different hop varieties, such that the flavor profile of beer can be tuned by employing different combinations of Pichia spp. strains and hops.
