Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have long been celebrated for their roles in food fermentation, yet their capacity to synthesise specialised antimicrobial peptides—known as bacteriocins—has ...
Researchers have generated a lactic acid bacterium that efficiently secretes a food-grade preservative when grown on dairy waste.
Lactic acid occurs naturally in some foods, and manufacturers add it to other foods to prolong shelf life. Learn more about lactic acid and its benefits here.
The mechanism by which lactic acid bacteria, frequently found in fermented foods, activate the immunes system has been established in a recent study.
A study at at Sweden's Lund University have identified a unique group of 13 lactic acid bacteria found in the honey stomach of bees and passed onto fresh honey that shows promise in the fight ...
The biochemical mechanism that lies behind the protective effect of some lactic acid bacteria has been discovered by researchers.
"So our thinking is that the mead, when you consume the mead, these (antibacterial substances in) lactic-acid bacteria in the drink can actually be transferred to your blood and help you when you ...
Researchers have generated a natural lactic acid bacterium, which secretes the antimicrobial peptide nisin when grown on dairy waste. This solution could help combat both food loss and food waste.
During their investigations the scientists found out that under these conditions hBD-1 unfolds a strong antibiotic activity against lactic acid bacteria and yeast.
A new study from the University of Eastern Finland now shows that both lactic acid bacteria and gut bacteria contribute to the health benefits of rye.
