Probiotic cultures as a potential protective strategy against the toxicity of environmentally relevant chemicals: State-of-the-art knowledge

Katarina Baralic et al.

Summary: Environmentally relevant toxic substances have negative impacts on human health, causing harmful effects on various bodily systems and even leading to cancer. Probiotic cultures have the ability to adsorb and degrade these toxic substances, mainly in their cell walls. They can also induce metabolism and degradation of toxic substances, reducing their toxicity and facilitating elimination. Other potential protective effects of probiotics include decreased absorption and increased excretion of toxic substances, prevention of gut microbial dysbiosis, increased mucus secretion, reduced production of reactive oxygen species, and decreased inflammation. This review aims to summarize the current knowledge regarding the protective effects of different probiotic strains against environmentally relevant toxic substances (mycotoxins, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, pesticides, perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, phthalates, bisphenol A, and toxic metals).

Therapeutic effect of Lactobacillus plantarum JS19 on mice with dextran sulfate sodium induced acute and chronic ulcerative colitis

Rong Ren et al.

Summary: In this study, Lactobacillus plantarum JS19 isolated from jiang-shui exhibited strong antioxidant activity. Oral administration of L. plantarum JS19 effectively prevented body weight loss, colon shortening and damage in mice with dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis. Moreover, L. plantarum JS19 alleviated inflammatory responses, oxidative stress, and rebalanced dysbiosis of gut microbiota. Therefore, L. plantarum JS19 may serve as a promising probiotic for preventing inflammatory bowel disease, specifically ulcerative colitis.

Effects of Brines and Containers on Flavor Production of Chinese Pickled Chili Pepper (Capsicum frutescens L.) during Natural Fermentation

Shiyao Zhang et al.

Summary: The effects of fresh or aged brine and pool or jar containers on the flavor characteristics of pickled chili peppers were investigated. The results showed that brine had a more dominant effect on organic acid, sugar, and aroma, while containers had a greater influence on free amino acid production. Chilies fermented with aged brine had higher acidity and sugar content, while chilies fermented in pool containers had higher free amino acid content. Overall, jar fermentation with aged brine resulted in a more flavorful pickled chili pepper.

Effects of lactic acid bacteria fermentation on the phytochemicals content, taste and aroma of blended edible rose and shiitake beverage

Liqing Qiu et al.

Summary: In this study, five commercial lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains were selected and used for fermentation of blended edible rose and shiitake beverage. The results showed that all strains reached high viable counts and the fermented samples exhibited higher contents of various bioactive compounds and stronger antioxidant capacity compared to the control. The electronic tongue analysis demonstrated that LAB fermentation improved the taste profiles of the fermented samples by reducing bitterness, astringency, and aftertastes. Furthermore, LAB fermentation enriched the aroma complex of the beverage and resulted in the formation of new volatile compounds.

Analysis of Microbial Diversity and Metabolites in Sauerkraut Products with and without Microorganism Addition

Yueyi Liu et al.

Summary: The microbial compositions and metabolites of sauerkraut with and without the addition of microorganisms were compared. Different modes of microbial addition formed unique microbial communities and exerted similar effects on inhibiting Firmicutes production. Sauerkraut without added microorganisms had the lowest microbial diversity. Different brands of sauerkraut contained their own unique flavor compounds. Cystine and tyrosine, ascorbic acid and acetic acid, and alcohols and esters were closely related to a wide range of microorganisms in sauerkraut. Elucidating the correlations among microbiota and metabolites will help guide future improvements in sauerkraut fermentation processes.

Summary: The use of pesticides in agricultural areas is essential for improving crop yields in the future. However, the ingestion of food with pesticide residues can lead to serious health issues such as neurological, gastrointestinal, and allergic reactions, as well as cancer and death. Fortunately, the fermentation process reduces pesticide residues in certain foods through enzymatic degradation by microbial species. This review focuses on highly pesticide-contaminated foods, such as milk, yogurt, fermented vegetables, fruit juices, grains, sourdough, and wines, and discusses the molecular mechanisms and potential strategies for pesticide detoxification.
