abstract: nowadays, consumption of whole flours and flours with high extraction rate is recommended, because of their large amount of fiber, vitamins and minerals. despite nutritional benefits of whole flours, concentration of some undesirable components such as phytic acid is higher than white flour. in this study, the effect of several sourdough lactic acid bacteria on toast bread was investi...

In this study, lactic acid production by repeated batch fermentation using cell entrapped methods was compared. Barium alginate beads, agar gel and polyurethane foam cubes were employed as carriers to immobilize Lactobacillus casei subsp. casei for the purpose of L (+)-lactic acid production. Increasing concentrations of lactic acid during fermentation were better tolerated by barium alginate e...

background probiotics have been used for dairy products such as yogurt and yogurt drinks, however cholesterol content and lactose intolerance are important drawbacks. recently, consumption of non-dairy probiotic food especially for probiotic drink products has been intensified. objectives this research was conducted to determine the suitability of peach as a raw material for producing probiotic...

In this study, a novel amine ionic liquid “Diethanolamine Lactic” [DEA][Lac] was synthesized. The replacement of halogenated ion fluid was used as a modified methodology for the preparation of diethanolamine based on lactic acid. The ionic liquid was characterized using the Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra and the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The changes in bands' wav...

A lactobacillus-dominant vaginal microbiota has been shown to decrease heterosexual HIV transmission. Nunn et al. now report that a vaginal microbiota dominated by Lactobacillus crispatus is associated with a relative inability of HIV pseudoviral particles to transverse cervicovaginal mucus (CVM) in vitro [mBio 6(5):e01084-15, 2015, doi:10.1128/mBio.01084-15]. The purported inhibitory mechanism...

Single carbon to 18 carbon n-aliphatic carboxylic acids were tested for their attractive effects on female Aedes aegypti in a Y-tube olfactometer. Each acid was tested over a wide range of concentrations together with L-(+)-lactic acid, the indispensable synergist for other attractive components emitted from human hosts. The attractiveness of lactic acid was significantly augmented when combine...
