Abstract:
The present invention discloses a method to prepare a fruit ferment containing propionic acid and/or a salt thereof comprising i) obtaining a liquid fruit preparation, ii) optionally supplementing the liquid fruit preparation with water and/or with additional components to support fermentation, iii) fermenting the optionally supplemented liquid fruit preparation with a propionic acid-producing bacterial strain, iv) optionally further processing the fermentation product, to obtain the fruit ferment. Next to a propionic acid-producing bacterial strain, a lactic acid-producing bacterial strain may be used in the fermentation. The invention also relates to a fruit ferment obtainable by said method and the use in a food, beverage, as a probiotic and to improve the sensory properties and/or the storage stability is also disclosed.
Abstract:
Drinks and foods having a bone formation function which contain as the active ingredient an efficacious amount of a culture of a propionic acid bacterium and/or a lactic acid bacterium containing 2-amino-3-carboxy-1,4-naphthoquinone; and preventives/remedies for metabolic bone diseases which contain as the active ingredient a naphthoquinone compound selected from the group consisting of 2-amino-3-carboxy-1,4-naphthoquinone, 1,4-naphthoquinone, 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone, 2,3-dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone, 5-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone, 2-( alpha -hydroxy- delta -methylpentenyl)-5,8-dihydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone and salts thereof. The above-described culture and naphthoquinone derivatives promote the bone metabolism, thereby elevating bone mass and bone strength.
Abstract:

Abstract:
The present invention relates to use of a probiotic to normalize abnormal inflammation markers. The present invention also relates to use of a probiotic for preventing and/or treating low-grade inflammation. Further, the present invention relates to use of a probiotic for preventing and/or treating disorders and/or diseases relating to low-grade inflammation.
Abstract:
The invention concerns the use of propionic bacteria for obtaining a current feeding composition or an absorbable dietetic or medicinal composition capable of releasing physiologically significant amounts of nitric oxide in the human or animal alimentary canal.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a probiotic combination comprising different combinations of lactobacilli, propionic acid bacteria and/or bifidobacteria. The probiotics are preferably combined with a suitable prebiotic to form a synbiotic. The combination of the invention can be consumed as such or combined with a suitable foodstuff or pharmaceutical product, and it is therapeutically useful for example for stimulating the immune system and for general health improvement.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the food industry, in particular, to the field of milk and milk food reprocessing, and can be used for the production of food protein from milk reprocessing waste, including lactoserum. Lactoserum is sequentially reprocessed with cultures of Lactobacillus casei and Propionibacterium freudenreichii. Processing with the second culture is performed only after the lactoserum acidity is reduced by at least 0.8 pH units. At the moment of planting the second culture the cultures ratio is kept at 0.4 to 5.0. The total concentration of the cultures is selected at 1 to 5 g per 1 liter of the medium. The protein-rich product is extracted when the fermentation is completed.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a method for making food products from fermented soybean milk, characterised in that the fermentation of said milk is obtained by the inoculation of lactobacillus farciminis.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to compositions, particularly baby food compositions, comprising living lactate- utilizing propionic acid- producing bacteria, as well as viable lactic-acid producing bacteria, its manufacture and use in the treatment of digestive diseases, particularly for treatment of infantile colic, intestinal discomfort, intestinalpain, visceral sensitivity, and intestinal cramp.
