Trehalose is a naturally occurring disaccharide which is associated with extraordinary stress-tolerance capacity in certain species of unicellular and multicellular organisms. In mammalian cells, presence of intra- and extracellular trehalose has been shown to confer improved tolerance against freezing and desiccation. Since mammalian cells do not synthesize nor import trehalose, the developmen...

The objective was to analyse the antibacterial ability of members of the intestinal microbiota of Oncorhynchus mykiss specimens on several bacterial target strains that contaminate food and cause disease in humans. Bacterial colonies from an intestinal portion of the 20 specimens of O. mykiss were obtained in different culture media. Several of the colonies showed antibacterial action on differ...

Biopreservation, defined as the extension of shelf life and enhanced safety of foods by the use of natural or controlled microbiota and/or antimicrobial compounds, is an innocuous and ecological approach to the problem of food preservation and has gained increasing attention in recent years. Consequently, certain lactic acid bacteria (LAB), with demonstrated antimicrobial properties commonly as...

Maintaining the overall quality and shelf life of plant-based food beverages is particularly important yet challenging to industry. Demand for natural preservation techniques has increased with rising concerns over safety consumer awareness, e.g., health consciousness trends such as veganism demand clean, labelled foods. Thus, a technique biopreservation potential enhance while fostering qualit...
