In this chapter we will learn the compositional changes of milk during fermentation, and health effects of consumption of fermented milk in both animals and humans.
Flavor components- Acetoin, Acetone, Lactones and volatile acids by-products of bacterial metabolism
Protocooperation between S. thermophilus (formic acid) and Lb. bulgaricus (AA,peptides)
5.3 THE EFFECTS OF FERMENTATION ON MILK 5.3.1 Effects on Chemistry, Nutrient Content, and Activities of Enzymes
Lb.bulgaricus peptides , free AA ( valine, histidine, serine & proline) Pepetidase Homofermentative one major product is lactic acid Protein (Casein)
studies giving a proof that enable probiotics to be used as treatment of GI disturbances -The use of Saccharomyces boulardii, Lactobacillus, and Enterococcus faecium SF 68 to prevent or shorten the duration of antibiotic-associated diarrhea
Yogurt also enhances protective immunity against respiratory tract infections - Mice infected with Streptococcus pneumonia improved many ecological parameters Human study by Gluck et al. investigated the effects of a probiotic, fermented milk drink with Lb. GG (ATCC 53103), Bifidobacterium sp B420, Lb. acidophilus 145, and S.thermophilus on nasal colonization with pathogenic bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, S. pneumoniae, and -hemolytic streptococci).
5.4 fermented milk and the Immune system 5.4.1 Overview of the immune system
higher nutrient efficiency has been reported in animals fed a yogurt-based diet as compared to animals fed a milkbased diet Experiment with suckling rats given cows milk the absorption rate of degraded HRP was greater in the group receiving cows milk with Lb. casei GG like this many reports suggest LAB can modulate antigen uptake Experiment with peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) suggest Lb. casei GG can digest casein, and possibly other macromolecules, into less antigenic and potentially immunomodulating peptides
5.6 Gut Associated Lymphoid Tissue and The Establishment of Immune Tolerance
The GALT in addition to acting as a helper in mucosal defense also plays a role in establishment of systemic hyporesponsiveness
Allergy- Skewing of an Immune response to an allergen towards a Th2-type phenotype and overproduction of IL-4
Hygiene hypothesis- Partial scarcity of microbial stimuli due to increased hygiene
Several results suggest intestinal microflora of allergic children(coliforms, staphylococcus aureus) differ from non allergic children(bifidobacteria, lactobacilli)
study using Nc/Nga mice administered Lb. johnsonii NCC533 during the weaning period prevented the development of atopic dermatitis induced by mite antigens
From this and other experiment using different strain author concluded that minimal effective dose for modulating granulocyte or monocyte activities was 109 CFU/d
Numerous LAB have a stimulatory effect on macrophage activities
Perdigon et al. studied the mechanisms by which yogurt was able to inhibit the growth of a chemically induced intestinal tumor. They demonstrated that yogurt can down regulate the inflammatory response
5.10 Conclusions
More than a century research has surrounded the association between fermented product yogurt and health and Important finding of the study is direct effect of yogurt on immune system Even though human and mice studied a significant amount of research is still required to address the fundamental basis for the mechanisms of yogurts biological consequences
Limits to rapid progress in this area due to equally complexity of immune system and microbial physiology in vivo
Despite the limitations, the yogurt-immunity connection remains as an exciting and attractive area of research for a variety of disciplines new methodology, procedures, microbial strains, and research findings will make stronger the variation in studies present today, and drive the development of improved fermented milk products
