Probiotic species have garnered significant attention for their health benefits extending beyond gastrointestinal health. This study investigated the biological and enzymatic functions of selected probiotic species, specifically Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus (formerly Lactobacillus rhamnosus), Lactiplantibacillus plantarum plantarum), acidophilus, delbrueckii, among others, through in vitro experiments. Enzymatic activities, including hemolytic, lipase, esterase, protease functions, were evaluated. Antioxidant capacity was assessed using DPPH radical scavenging assays, while antimicrobial efficacy tested against common pathogenic bacteria. Antibiotic-resistance patterns analyzed to ascertain safety human consumption. Furthermore, simulated digestive fluid tolerance experiments conducted evaluate survival tract. The findings indicate that these strains exhibit diverse functionalities intestinal health, with potential roles digestion, oxidative stress reduction, immune support. provides valuable insights into functional diversity probiotics, suggesting broader applications nutrition. Future research should focus on vivo validation, mechanism elucidation, clinical studies determine optimal dosages strain-specific benefits.

Lactiplantibacillus plantarum is omnipresent in vegetable fermentations. Its large metabolic capacity and its ability to adapt the fermenting microenvironment enable this species, many cases, dominate microecosystem drive fermentation. In addition, enables it produce bioactive compounds of great interest for human health. These attributes have directed research decades. The widespread application next-generation sequencing approaches has enabled genotypic verification phenotypically assessed supplemented them with novel insights, justifying characterization a multifunctional tool that been awarded species. However, there are still issues need be properly addressed order improve our understanding functionality enhance knowledge regarding capacities aim present article collect critically discuss available information on Lp. subsistence

Cereals are among the foods rich in myo-inositol hexakisphosphate (phytic acid, IP6), lower phosphates (IPx), a wide range of phenolic compounds, as well vitamins, minerals, oligosaccharides, phytosterols and para-aminobenzoic attributed with multiple bioactivities, particularly associated prevention metabolic syndrome colon cancer. The bran fraction wheat, maize, brown rice other cereals contains high levels phytate, free total phenolics, endogenous enzymes such amylases, phytase, xylanase, β-glucanase feruloyl esterase, whose activities can be increased by germination. preliminary steps digestion begin oral cavity where substrates for action cereal salivary start to released from food matrix. IP6 phytate complexes arabinoxylans, starch protein bodies would eventually enhance absorption nutrients, including regulating tight junctions and, together ferulic acid (FA), maintain cell barrier integrity epithelial antibacterial immunity. In addition, both FA exert potent complementary antioxidant effects, while IPx generated through advanced hydrolysis microbial phytases may affect digestive enzyme activity incretin secretion, resulting modulated insulin glucagon release various diabetic complications. Contrary widespread negative attitudes towards this review, we present strategy selecting content, esterase endoxylanase activities, produce value-added health-promoting foods. compounds and/or generate substantial amounts “enzymatically inositol” (EGI), IP6, myo-inositol, that, FA, provide enhanced bioavailability nutrients synergistic effects not previously realised.
