Conversion of hydroxycinnamic acids by Furfurilactobacillus milii in sorghum fermentations: Impact on profile of phenolic compounds in sorghum and on ecological fitness of Ff. milii
Download2023-05-01
Gaur, Gautam, Damm, Sandra, Passon, Maike, Lo, Hiu Kwan, Schieber Andreas, Gänzle, Michael G.
The conversion of phenolic compounds by lactobacilli in food fermentations contributes to food quality. The metabolism of phenolics by lactobacilli has been elucidated in the past years but information on the contribution of specific enzymes in food fermentations remains scarce. This study aimed...

Gaur, Gautam, Chen, Chen, Gänzle, Michael G.
In plants, hydroxycinnamic and hydroxybenzoic acids occur mainly as esters. This study aimed to determine the contribution of individual phenolic acid esterases in Lp. plantarum TMW1.460, which encodes for four esterases: TanA, Lp0796, Est1092 and a homolog of Lj0536 and Lj1228 that was termed...

Composition and activity of antifungal lipopeptides produced by Bacillus spp. in daqu fermentation
Download2023-05-01
Li, Zhen, Fernandez, Kleinberg X., Vederas, John C., Gänzle, Michael G.
Daqu is a solid-state fermentation and saccharification starter for the Chinese liquor baijou. During the daqu stage, amylolytic and proteolytic enzymes are produced by Bacillus and fungi. Bacillus spp. also produce lipopeptides with a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activities but direct...

Althnaibat, Rami M., Bruce, Heather L., Gänzle, Michael G.
The inhibition of starch digestion activities by peptides derived from camel milk proteins was determined and the effect of their amino acids charge and/or hydrophobicity was assessed. Starch digestion by pancreatic and brush border enzymes was assessed in vitro with a peptide to starch ratio of...

Bacillus species in food fermentations: An underappreciated group of organisms for safe use in food fermentations
Download2023-04-01
Li, Zhen, Zheng, Mengzhou, Zheng, Jinshui, Gänzle, Michael G.
Fermented foods are consumed throughout the world and substantially contribute to food security. Many fermented products rely on the participation of Bacillus species, but their contribution to food quality is not well documented. The purpose of this review is to highlight metabolic properties...

Patulin is a mycotoxin contaminant in various foods with apple products being its major dietary source. Yeast can reduce patulin levels during fermentation via biotransformation and thiol-adduct formation, with the ability of patulin to react with thiols being well known. Conversion of patulin to...

The quest for the perfect loaf of sourdough bread continues: Novel developments for selection of sourdough starter cultures
Download2023-12-16
Gänzle, Michael G., Qiao, , Nanzhen, Bechtner, Julia
Sourdough fermentation, one of the oldest unit operations in food production, is currently experiencing a revival in bread production at the household, artisanal, and the industrial level. The expanding use of sourdough fermentation in bread production and the adaptation of fermentation to large...
