Bioconversion of sea cucumber (Holothuria sp.) by Lactobacillus plantarum: enhancement of bioactive peptides, gamma-aminobutyric acid, and corresponding bioactivities

Marine-derived lactic acid bacteria fermentation enhances the bioactivity of Neopyropia haitanensis by improving intestinal homeostasis.

This study investigated the functional fermentation of Neopyropia haitanensis using marine-derived lactic acid bacteria (LAB), aiming to develop effective strategies to improve the bioactivity and functionality of seaweed-based foods. Fifteen LAB strains were isolated from marine sources, among which three strains, nam...

Fermentation of mulberry leaf extract by Aspergillus chevalieri CTCF-AC-1 for flavor improvement and enhanced hypoglycemic activity.

Mulberry leaf extract (MLE) is rich in bioactive compounds with potent hypoglycemic activity, but is constrained by its sensory drawbacks. In this study, Aspergillus chevalieri CTCF-AC-1, isolated from Fu brick tea, was employed to ferment MLE for improving both its flavor profile and functional efficacy. Fermentation...

Probiotic Potential of Limosilactobacillus reuteri JS-51 from Traditional Fermented Jiangshui: Screening, Characterization, and Hypocholesterolemic Effects

Hypercholesterolemia is a major risk factor for cardiovascular and hepatic diseases. Recently, probiotics have garnered significant attention as a promising, non-pharmacological approach to regulate lipid metabolism. In this study, we screened potential cholesterol-lowering lactic acid bacteria from Jiangshui, a tradit...

Weissella paramesenteroides M4: Optimization of bioprocesses, antioxidant property, and a potentially probiotic strain with in vitro activity against Cutibacterium acnes.

This research provides a sustainable framework for high-yield probiotic production using industrial by-products and introduces a potentially probiotic lactic acid bacterium with selective in vitro activity, representing a promising candidate for alternative acne treatment, addressing a significant gap in current dermat...

Enhancing Amino Acid and Fatty Acid Profiles Using Probiotic Fermentation of Catfish (Pangasius sp.) Waste for Sustainable Aquaculture

The rapid expansion of catfish (Pangasius sp.) production in Indonesia has substantially increased organic waste generated from fillet processing, representing more than 45% of total fish biomass. Owing to its high protein and lipid contents, this waste has considerable potential for valorisation through probiotic-assi...

Wild Tunisian Daucus Carota L. Seeds as a Source of Petroselinic Acid-Rich Oil: Influence of Extraction Method on Composition and Bioactivity
