En las últimas dos décadas se ha intensificado la investigación en el campo de los componentes bioactivos que se encuentran en los alimentos, uno de estos componentes son los péptidos bioactivos. Estos péptidos bioactivos se encuentran encriptados en la estructura de las proteínas alimentarias y una de las fuentes principales...
The human proximal colon is the region of the large intestine where the greater prebiotic effect has been reported. However, this is not a region easily accessible to routine studies. In order to carry out studies on microbial ecology in this region, laboratory models that imitate some characteristics of the...
Some reports have established the activating effect of bovine β-lactoglobulin (β-lg) on Kluyveromyces lactis’ β-galactosidase (KLβ-gal) activity, suggesting that the interaction between β-lg and KLβ-gal could be responsible for this effect. The aim of this work was to study the interaction between β-lg and KLβ-gal in order to determine the...
Milk protein derived peptides could exert physiology functions in human body, mainly antihypertensive activity by the inhibition of the Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE). These peptides can be liberated by proteolytic microorganism during fermentation. In this work the effect of pH on the production of bioactive peptides during milk fermentation by...
Se evaluó el efecto de los exopolisacáridos (EPS) producidos por Streptococcus thermophilus SY-102 en la elaboración de queso mexicano tipo manchego. Como resultado principal, se encontró que la mencionada cepa filante mejoró la retención de agua y de grasa del queso, y por lo tanto, aumentó significativamente su rendimiento. Además,...
