Contribution of glutaminase activity in Lactobacillus reuteri to acid resistance and glutamine metabolism in sourdough
DownloadFall 2016
Sourdough is used as an additive in bread production for proper dough volume (leavening), or for desired dough acidity, or for dough texture and bread flavor improvement, or for bread shelf life extension. Lactobacillus reuteri, an intestinal isolate and a stable member of sourdough, prevails in...

Contribution of glutaminases to glutamine metabolism and acid resistance in Lactobacillus reuteri and other vertebrate host adapted lactobacilli

Li, Qing, Tao, QianYing, Teixeira, Juanana S., Shu-Wei Su, Marcia, Gänzle, Michael G.
The bacterial conversion of glutamine to glutamate is catalyzed by glutamine-amidotransferases or glutaminases. Glutamine deamination contributes to the formation of the bioactive metabolites glutamate, γ-aminobutyrate (GABA) and γ-glutamyl peptides, and to acid resistance. This study aimed to...

Sourdough fermentation can generate various peptides and amino acids to improve bread quality, such as taste, flavor and texture. The aim of this PhD dissertation was to investigate the synthesis mechanisms of bioactive and taste active peptides or amino acids during fermentation and their effect...

Degradation of Wheat Germ Agglutinin and Amylase-Trypsin Inhibitors During Sourdough Fermentation
DownloadFall 2020
Non Celiac Wheat Sensitivity (NCWS), an intolerance to the ingestion of wheat products, has increased considerably during the past few years. In sensitive individuals, NCWS manifests by intestinal and extra intestinal symptoms in different ways. Two wheat protein fractions have been linked to...

Hypertension is the leading cause of global morbidity and mortality, afflicting > 20% of adults worldwide (~1 in 4 in Canada). Pharmaceutical drugs are the primary treatment for hypertension, but are generally associated with side effects. Recently, food-derived antihypertensive peptides are...

Dynamics of Enterobacteriaceae and lactobacilli in model sourdoughs are driven by pH and concentrations of sucrose and ferulic acid
Download2019-01-01
Dinardo, Francesca Rita, Minervini, Fabio, De Angelis, Maria, Gobbetti, Marco, Gänzle, Michael G.
This study aimed to assess, in model sourdough fermentations, the relevance of physico-chemical features of flour for the interactions between Enterobacteriaceae and lactobacilli, and for the interactions within the latter microbial group. Initially, model sourdoughs made with white wheat flour,...

Effect of copy number of the spoVA2mob operon, sourdough and reutericyclin on ropy bread spoilage caused by Bacillus spp.
Download2020-10-01
Li, Zhen, Siepmann, Francieli Begnini, Tovar, Luis E. Rojas, Chen, Xiaoyan, Gänzle, Michael G.
Bacillus spp. cause ropy bread spoilage of bread, which is characterized by a rotten fruity odor, followed by discoloration and degradation of the crumb. Bacillus spp. are wheat grain endophytes and form heat resistant endospores, therefore, process hygiene and heating during baking do not...

Effect of temperature on production of oligosaccharides and dextran by Weissella cibaria 10 M
Download2018-01-01
The formation of HoPS and oligosaccharides in sourdough fermentation improves bread quality but is dependent on the expression of glycansucrases by lactic acid bacteria. Data on the expression of dextransucrases by Weissella spp., however, are limited. This study therefore aimed to assess...

Egg-white derived bioactive peptides improve insulin resistance and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in mice: mechanisms of action
DownloadFall 2023
Zani, Stepheny Carneiro de Campos
Metabolic syndrome is a condition characterized by the presence of multiple co-morbidities including hypertension, dyslipidemia, obesity and hyperglycemia. More recently, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has been included in this cluster as the hepatic manifestation of the metabolic...
