Probiotic as a term is a relatively new word meaning “for life” and it is currently used to describe a group of bacteria when administered in sufficient quantity, confer beneficially
effects on humans and animals. The concept of probiotic bacteria is very old, and is
associated with the consumption of fermented foods by human beings, for thousands of
years. Since ancient times, man has made and eaten probiotic foods. The earliest types of
probiotic food were cheeses and milk made by lactic acid bacterial (LAB) and fungal
fermentation and leavened bread fermented by yeasts fermentation.
Fermented food’s
health benefit has also been long known. Hippocrates and other scientists in the early ages
had observed that some disorders of the digestive system could be cured by fermented milk,
also, Plinius, the Roman historian, stated that fermented milk products can be used for
treating gastroenteritics.
This document discusses genetically modified foods and products. It defines genetically modified foods as foods produced from organisms that have had changes introduced to their DNA using genetic engineering techniques. Some examples of genetically modified foods discussed include papaya engineered to be virus resistant, non-browning Arctic apples, and corn modified to be herbicide tolerant or produce an insecticidal protein. The document also summarizes various milled corn and soy products that may contain genetically modified ingredients, such as grits, flour, meal, isolates and concentrates.
Fermented soy products have a long history in Asian cuisines. Soybeans are fermented through processes like those used to make miso, tempeh, natto, and soy sauce. Fermentation improves the digestibility and nutrition of soybeans by breaking down proteins and increasing mineral availability. It also produces health benefits like reducing cancer and cholesterol risks. Traditional fermented soy foods contain probiotics and isoflavones that are converted into more absorbable forms. The document provides details on the production processes for various fermented soy foods like soy sauce, which involves koji mold and multiple month-long fermentation stages.
The document discusses various fermented soy products and how they are produced. It describes the natural brewing process of soy sauce which involves three steps - koji making by mixing soybeans and wheat with a mold culture, brine fermentation where the koji is mixed with additional ingredients and fermented for months, and refining the liquid into finished soy sauce.

This document discusses starter cultures used in the production of fermented dairy and non-dairy products. It defines starter cultures as microorganisms deliberately added to milk to initiate and carry out desired fermentation. The key microorganisms used include various species of lactic acid bacteria such as Lactobacillus, Lactococcus, Leuconostoc, and Streptococcus. The document discusses the classification, functions, and production of different starter cultures as well as their role in popular fermented foods like dahi, yogurt, and cheese.
Probiotics, prebiotics, and synbiotics were defined. Probiotics are live microorganisms that provide health benefits when consumed. Prebiotics are non-digestible fibers that promote the growth of beneficial bacteria. Synbiotics combine probiotics and prebiotics. The document discussed the history of probiotic research from Metchnikoff's observations of Bulgarian longevity to current probiotic foods and strains. Potential health benefits of probiotics include managing diarrhea, allergies, and cholesterol, as well as supporting the immune system. Factors like processing, storage and the host's health impact probiotic survival.
Canning involves sealing food in containers and heating it to kill or inhibit microbial growth. Acidic foods are easier to can than neutral foods, which must be heated above 100°C. Spoilage can occur through anaerobic organisms like Clostridium producing toxins. Canning, removal of microorganisms, use of chemical preservatives, radiation, microbial inhibition, and controlling temperature and moisture help preserve foods by hindering microbial growth and toxin production. Fermentation uses microbes like yeast and lactic acid bacteria to preserve foods through chemical changes and production of preservatives. Common fermented foods include beer, wine, yogurt, cheese, and bread.
At the start of the 20th century, Russian noble prize winner and father of modern immunology, Elie Metchnikoff, a scientist at the Pasteur institute, was the first conceptualize “probiotics”.
In 1907 Metchnokoff proposed that the acid producing bacteria in fermented milk products could prevent “fouling” in the large intestine and if consumed regularly, lead to a longer, healthier life.
In early 1930’s, in Japan, Minoru shirota developed a fermented milk product called Yakult (probiotic yogurt like product made by fermenting a mixture of skimmed milk with a special strain of Lactobacillus casei shirota).
Probiotic term coined in 1965 by Lilly and StillwellThe human gastrointestinal (GI) tract is a highly specialised ecosystem that has evolved over
time, both physiologically and microbiologically. At least in part, this is a consequence of the
host and environmental pressures that it must counteract in order to maintain eubiosis. The
GI tract is one of the most diverse and metabolically active organs in the human body. The
human gut and its microbiota cannot be realistically considered as separate entities as they
represent a dynamic biological system that has co-evolved from birth. The human GI tract
is composed of highly adapted regions for mediation of its diverse functions, many of which
impact markedly upon host health and welfare. Physiological considerations in each unique
region infl uence the degree and type of colonisation and initial colonisers also modify the
physiological conditions therein. This results in the development of distinct microhabitats
along the length of the GI tract, which infl uence metabolism, protection and immune stimulation.
Such effects are both local and systemic as the GI tract is connected to the vascular,
lymphatic and nervous systems. The ability of the gut to sustain its benefi cial microbiota,
against harmful or opportunistic microbiota, in a desirable community structure, is critical
for host health and reduction of disease risk. The focus of this chapter is to discuss how the
complex interplays between the human GI tract and its indigenous microbiota affect host
health and how certain benefi cial microbial species, with their potential for manipulation,
are crucial to this processThe human gastrointestinal tract is sterile up until birth, when microbial colonisation begins
during the delivery process. The inoculum may be largely derived either from the mother’s
vaginal or faecal fl ora (in a conventional birth) or from the environment (in a caesarean
delivery).Hence, the microbiota that colonise the newborn tract are acquired post-natally.
This is of extreme importance in the choice of delivery, as newborns delivered by caesarean
section are exposed to a different microbiota than that of a vaginal delivery. Bacterial
populations develop progressively during the fi rst few days of life; facultative anaerobes
predominate initially and create a reduced environment that allows for the growth of strict
This document discusses fermented foods. It begins by explaining that fermented foods make up one third of the global human diet and include products like cheese, bread, fermented vegetables, and meats. It then defines fermented foods as foods produced or modified by microorganisms like bacteria, yeasts, and molds. The document goes on to describe various fermented foods and beverages from around the world, the microorganisms involved in fermentation, and the nutritional and health benefits of consuming fermented foods.
This document provides information on various fermented dairy products. It begins with an introduction to fermented dairy products in general and how they are produced through microbial fermentation. It then discusses specific fermented dairy products like curd, yogurt, sour cream, buttermilk, kefir, and cheese. For each product, it provides details on the production process and microbial cultures used, as well as nutritional and health benefits. The document aims to educate the reader on the wide variety of traditional and commercially produced fermented dairy foods from around the world.
Microorganisms play an important role in food production through various fermentation processes. Bacteria, yeasts and molds are used to produce foods like bread, cheese, yogurt, wine and beer. They ferment carbohydrates, converting sugars into acids, gases and flavors. This preserves foods and extends shelf life. Lactic acid bacteria are particularly useful, fermenting milk into dairy products. Yeast converts grape juice into wine through alcoholic fermentation. The carbon dioxide produced by yeast leavens bread dough. Microbes also enhance nutrition and safety of fermented foods through biological enrichment.
Recent Updates in the Commercialization of ProbioticsLokeshP38
This document discusses recent updates on the commercialization of probiotic foods. It begins by introducing probiotics and their health benefits. It then discusses the commercialization of cereal-based and dairy-based probiotic foods. For cereal-based foods, it provides a history and examples of traditional fermented cereal foods from various countries. It also discusses factors involved in developing commercial cereal-based probiotic products. For dairy-based foods, it discusses factors involved in viability of probiotics in fermented milks and fresh milk and provides examples of commercial probiotic dairy beverages currently available.
it include a summary for stater culture (Def, types, application, factors) beside the fermented dairy products as yogurt including its manufacture . the lecture was presented 27.2.2020
This document discusses probiotics, which are live microorganisms that provide health benefits when consumed. Probiotics include various Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species. They survive stomach acid, attach to intestines, and impart benefits. Potential health benefits include improved digestion, reduced risk of colon cancer, cholesterol lowering, reduced inflammation, and improved immunity and mineral absorption. Probiotic products are available in foods like yogurt, juice, and bars. Rare side effects can include gastrointestinal issues. Synbiotics combine probiotics with prebiotics to promote probiotic survival.
Role of Microorganism and Enzymes in Food Preservation by Pallavi Wani.pptxPallavi Wani
Microorganisms and enzymes play an important role in food preservation by extending shelf life. Lactic acid bacteria are commonly used to ferment dairy products and meats through the production of lactic acid, which prevents spoilage. Enzymes also contribute to food processing, with amylase breaking down starches and pectinase used in the coffee industry. Recently, genetic engineering has helped enhance the production of microbial enzymes for various food applications.
Fermented foods may provide several health benefits:
- They contain probiotics that support gut and immune health. Probiotics help balance gut bacteria and reduce inflammation.
- Studies link fermented dairy, kimchi, and other foods to lower risks of heart disease, obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes and some cancers.
- The probiotics in fermented foods like yogurt may help regulate blood sugar, lower cholesterol, and reduce cancer and heart disease risks.
- A healthy gut biome supported by fermented foods also benefits brain function and mental health by increasing serotonin production.
This document discusses fermentation and enzyme technology. It defines fermentation as the process of converting carbohydrates to alcohol or organic acids using microorganisms under anaerobic conditions. Food fermentation serves five main purposes: to enrich flavors and preserve food, enrich food with proteins and vitamins, and eliminate antinutrients. The document also describes different types of fermentation including lactic acid, alcoholic, and acetic acid fermentation. It outlines various fermentation processes and discusses the pros and cons of fermentation along with some risks. Finally, it provides an overview of enzyme technology, including immobilization and recovery of enzymes.
Encapsulation techniques are used to preserve and protect ingredients in foods. Microencapsulation coats droplets of liquids, solids or gases in thin films that control release under different conditions. This allows controlled release of flavors and protects ingredients. Encapsulation finds applications in foods like dry beverage mixes and chewing gum where it prolongs flavor sensation and shelf life. There is also increased demand for encapsulation of vitamins and nutraceutical ingredients to mask strong flavors. Nanocapsules provide targeted delivery systems to carry and release flavors or nutrients when desired. Fabricated and instant foods incorporate encapsulated ingredients to add nutrition and convenience.
Specialty foods are unique, high-quality foods made in small batches using premium ingredients. Specialty foods command higher prices due to perceived benefits. Modern processing helps preserve nutrients during storage and packaging. Specialty foods are made through various processes like baking, fermentation, extrusion, and canning/juicing. Baking produces items like bread and pastries using ovens. Fermentation uses microorganisms to enrich and preserve foods like tofu, yogurt, and wine. Extrusion cooking shapes foods like pasta and cereals. Canning and juicing extends shelf life through heating and sealing in jars and cans.
- Soybeans originated in East Asia over 5,000 years ago and were first domesticated in China around 1100 BC. They were introduced to other parts of Asia and Europe by the early 1st century AD.
- Soybeans are a highly nutritious food providing complete protein as well as carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals. They became a major crop in the US in the early 20th century and are now widely cultivated and consumed globally.
- Most soybeans grown today are genetically modified to be resistant to the herbicide glyphosate, with over 90% of soybeans grown in the US being genetically modified. While this allows for easier weed control, there are also concerns about its environmental
