Evaluation of Cholesterol Reduction in Probiotic Strain Lactobacillus brevis isolated from Human Fecal Sample by Using Surface Response Methodology
Abstract: Lactobacillus brevis, isolated from human feces was assessed for its in vitro cholesterol reduction ability. The effects of bile salts, inoculum size and contact time in simulated intestinal juice were studied. Central composite design model was utilised to determine the effects of interactions of significant variables on cholesterol reduction. By developing a linear regression model, as a function of growth associated variables in vitro cholesterol reduction was assessed. The results …

A Study Showing the Antagonistic Effect of Lactobacillus casei Against Candida albicans
Abstract: Probiotic strain, Lactobacillus casei was isolated from the probiotic suspension named as Yakult. Strains of Candida albicans were collected from the S.N. Medical College, Agra, India. The antagonistic effect of L. casei against C. albicans was dictated by utilizing the Kirby Bauer disc diffusion technique. Maximum zone of hindrance was estimated by the serial suspension of M.F.S. ≠1.0 against C.albicans and the medium zone of hindrance was seen in the …

Recombinant Lactobacillus helveticus PJ4-Down Regulates TLR4 Mediated Inflammatory Responses in Sucrose Induced Diabetic Rats: A Novel Therapeutic Approach
Abstract: High sucrose diet (HSD) is known to induce type 2 diabetes. Recombinant Lactobacillus helveticus PJ4 was constructed to express the InuJ gene under the xylose promoter resulting in the secretion of inulosucrase enzyme in gastrointestinal tract which polymerizes the fructose moiety of sucrose to inulin type fructans. L. helveticus (pSLP-InuJ-Vhb) transformant (LHI) was intragastrically administered to rats fed with HSD diet. The composition of fecal microbiota and short-chain fatty acids …

Utilization of the Brewer’s Spent Grain for Lactic acid production: Acid hydrolysis and submerged fermentation
Abstract: The production of Lactic acid from Brewery Spent Grain using Lactobacillus plantarum ATCC 8014. was carried out in this study. Box Behnken Design (BBD) (Design expert® 7 software) was used to investigate the effect of temperature, reaction time and acid concentration during the hydrolysis. Fermentation of the hydrolyzate was performed at 35 °C, pH 5.0-5.5 and 200 rpm for 72 h.

Characterization of Antibacterial and Biofilm Inhibition in Tin and Zinc Oxide Nanoparticle-Doped Orthodontic Composites
Abstract: Background: This study investigated the antibacterial effectiveness of orthodontic adhesive enhanced with stannous oxide (SnO₂) nanoparticles against Lactobacillus acidophilus and Streptococcus mutans, in comparison to traditional adhesives without nanoparticle infusion. Methods: A modified orthodontic adhesive was prepared by incorporating 1% w/w of tin dioxide and zinc oxide nanoparticles (SnO₂ + ZnO₂ NPs) into Transbond XT. This nanoparticle-enhanced composite was used to fabricate discs for assessing antibacterial activity against Lactobacillus acidophilus …

History, Processing, Types and Health Benefits of Indian Yogurt
Abstract: Yogurt is a food which is nutrient rich and it is produced after the milk bacterial fermentation. Yogurt should have 3.25% milk fat and 8.25% milk solids non fat and the titrable acidity of at least 0.9%, which is expressed as lactic acid. Before adding bulky flavoring additives, the USDA yogurt criteria specify that the yogurt must satisfy the composition requirements of milk fat and MSNF. The data used in …

Exploring Lactic Acid Bacteria in Nasiriyah’s Locally Manufactured Cheese
Abstract: This investigation aimed to identify and diagnose lactic acid bacteria in locally produced cheese. Forty-eight isolates were obtained by categorizing them according to their phenotypic and microscopic features. After conducting biochemical tests, we acquired ten bacterial isolates from the Lactobacillus species. The VITEK 2 instrument was utilized to distinguish the samples to the species level with a threshold for the Lactobacillus genus. In the city of Nasiriyah, visiting the various …
