Abstract
ABSTRACTFermented cassava is obtained through fermentation process where the main role is played by various lactic acid bacteria (LAB), while the by-products (effluents) are discarded. The objective of this study was to isolate, identify and analyze potential probiotics in fermented cassava by-products/effluents using molecular techniques. We quantified the LAB’s metabolites and tested their antimicrobial properties. We isolated 13 LAB strains which are all Gram-positive, and catalase, oxidase, indole and coagulase negative. Only 6 out of 13 selected isolates survived the low pH of 1.5 and 0.3% bile salt. These 6 isolates showed different levels of antimicrobial activity against the tested pathogens with zones of inhibition ranging from 5.10 mm to 22.80 mm. The isolated LAB were identified as Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Limosilactobacillus fermentum. The results indicated that the selected LAB strains have potential as probiotics due to their ability to survive in acidic and bile-rich environments as well as their antimicrobial properties.

期刊介绍:
Food Biotechnology is an international, peer-reviewed journal that is focused on current and emerging developments and applications of modern genetics, enzymatic, metabolic and systems-based biochemical processes in food and food-related biological systems. The goal is to help produce and improve foods, food ingredients, and functional foods at the processing stage and beyond agricultural production.
Other areas of strong interest are microbial and fermentation-based metabolic processing to improve foods, food microbiomes for health, metabolic basis for food ingredients with health benefits, molecular and metabolic approaches to functional foods, and biochemical processes for food waste remediation. In addition, articles addressing the topics of modern molecular, metabolic and biochemical approaches to improving food safety and quality are also published.
Researchers in agriculture, food science and nutrition, including food and biotechnology consultants around the world will benefit from the research published in Food Biotechnology. The published research and reviews can be utilized to further educational and research programs and may also be applied to food quality and value added processing challenges, which are continuously evolving and expanding based upon the peer reviewed research conducted and published in the journal.
