Food spoilage has become a worldwide problem. Limosilactobacillus fermentum LAB212, isolated from home-made curd produces some potent antifungal compounds which can combat a wide range of spoilage and pathogenic fungi by disrupting their cell wall. Dual culture overlay assay and co-culture assay have confirmedly shown the potentiality of the strain. DOWEX50H extraction and chemical characterization by high performance liquid chromatography show that lactic acid and acetic acid are playing the key roles in executing the antifungal activity. DPPH scavenging assay proves that the strain also exhibits a good antioxidant activity. After observing all the beneficial features and social need of the chemical preservative free food it is becoming highly prospective to exploite the strain commercially. In an experiment conducted for 180 days it was standardized that LAB212 supplemented with MRS and inulin is found most effective combination when challenged against the spoilage fungal species of Aspergillus flavus VBAH14, Penicillium rubens VBCA11, thus can be used as a very effective preservative agent. Using this strain as bio-preservative agent will also minimize the food borne diseases.
食品腐败已成为全球性问题。从自制凝乳中分离出的发酵乳杆菌 LAB212 产生了一些有效的抗真菌化合物,通过破坏真菌细胞壁来对抗广泛的腐败和病原真菌。双层培养覆盖试验和共培养试验证实了该菌株的潜力。Dowex50H 的提取和高效液相色谱的化学特性表明,乳酸和乙酸在执行抗真菌活性中起着关键作用。DPPH 清除试验证明该菌株还具有良好的抗氧化活性。在观察到无化学防腐剂食品的所有有益特性和社会需求后,开发该菌株进行商业化生产具有很高的前景。在一项为期 180 天的实验中,发现当 LAB212 补充 MRS 和菊粉时,与黄曲霉 VBAH14、红曲霉素 VBCA11 等腐败真菌物种对抗时,是最有效的组合,因此可以用作非常有效的防腐剂。将该菌株用作生物防腐剂也将最大限度地减少食源性疾病。
