Detection of the Potential Inactivation of Tetrodotoxin by Lactic Acid Bacterial Exopolysaccharide

Toxins, 2018
Screening for compounds that can neutralize the toxicity of tetrodotoxin (TTX) or reduce its negative effects is necessary. Our study tested the TTX detoxification capacity of exopolysaccharide (EPS) extracted from lactic acid bacteria.

Texture Engineering of Nondairy Yogurt Alternatives: Ingredient Selection, Processing Strategies, and the Role of In Situ Dextrans

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT A global shift from diets rich in animal‐based products toward plant‐based diets has been widely promoted as a key strategy for creating more sustainable food systems. However, the adoption of plant‐based alternatives depends on multiple factors, including consumer preferences, sensory quality, product affordability, and availability, in ...

Structural Characterization of Insoluble Dextran Produced by Leuconostoc mesenteroides NRRL B-1149 in the Presence of Maltose

Food Technology and Biotechnology, 2011
Leuconostoc mesenteroides NRRL B-1149 is known to produce dextran with 52 % α-(1→6) and 40 % α-(1→3) linkages. Low solubility of dextran in water is associated with the presence of high percentage of α-(1→3) linkages.

Probiotics and Their Functional Role in Mitigating Antinutrient Effects In Vivo—A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Antinutrients like phytic acid and oxalates reduce mineral bioavailability by forming insoluble complexes with iron, zinc, and calcium. Probiotic supplementation may counteract these effects through enzymatic activity (e.g., phytase, oxalate decarboxylase) and microbiota modulation. This PRISMA‐based meta‐analysis evaluated 27 in vivo studies (

Traditional Fermented Dairy Products as Reservoirs of Bifidobacterium With Probiotic Potential: From Microbial Diversity to Functional Characterization

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Traditional fermented dairy products (TFDPs) are complex microbial ecosystems that may serve as reservoirs of many microorganisms, including those with probiotic potential such as Bifidobacterium species and lactobacilli. Although bifidobacteria are widely used as probiotic microorganisms in defined formulations, their occurrence, persistence,

Update of the list of qualified presumption of safety (QPS) recommended microbiological agents intentionally added to food or feed as notified to EFSA 24: Suitability of taxonomic units notified to EFSA until March 2026

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract The Qualified Presumption of Safety (QPS) process was developed to provide a harmonised safety assessment approach to support EFSA Scientific Panels and Units. The QPS approach assesses the taxonomic identity, body of knowledge and safety of microorganisms intentionally added to the food and feed chain.
