The robustness of the starter culture during cheese fermentation is enhanced by the
presence of a rich consortium of microbes. Natural starters are consortia of microbes …

Objectives Habitual diet plays a major role in shaping the composition of the gut microbiota,
and also determines the repertoire of microbial metabolites that can influence the host. The …

Food waste and byproducts are generated along the entire food processing and storage
chain. The large amount of waste deriving from the whole process represents not only a …

Background Sustainable nutrition and food security are central topics in the current global
agenda. Insect production represents a promising food source that has received growing …

Gut microbes programme their metabolism to suit intestinal conditions and convert dietary
components into a panel of small molecules that ultimately affect host physiology. To unveil …

The salivary microbiota has been linked to both oral and non-oral diseases. Scant
knowledge is available on the effect of environmental factors such as long-term dietary …

In this study we explored, for the first time, the lactic acid fermentation of elderberry juice
(EJ). A total of 15 strains isolated from dairy and plant matrices, belonging to L. plantarum, L …

In this study, ten strains of Lactobacillus were used to assess the in vitro metabolism of
elderberry juice polyphenols. Total polyphenolic compounds increased after starter addition …

Background: Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) exhibit a great biodiversity that can be exploited for
different purposes, such as to enhance flavours or metabolize phenolic compounds. In the …

The aim of this work was to evaluate the species composition and the genotypic strain
heterogeneity of dominant lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from whey starter cultures used …
