Streptococcus thermophilus may be subjected to the effects of penicillin G in contaminated milk used for yogurt production. Sensitivity of this microorganism to penicillin G has been conventionally determined by the help of penicillin G-impregnated disks placed on solid media. It was observed that the bacteriostatic penicillin G concentration was much greater in liquid media than in solid media. The conventional disk method may not be appropriate for antibiotic sensitivity determinations if the microorganisms will be used in liquid culture. A simple mathematical model simulated the growth of S. thermophilus in liquid culture. Numerical values of this model's parameters were regarded as the measure of the antibiotic effect on the culture. In penicillin G containing fresh medium, small concentrations of antibiotic decreased the specific growth rate considerably. Increasing the antibiotic concentration caused only slight additional decline. Antibiotic shock, i.e., rapidly introducing penicillin G into an actively growing antibiotic-free culture, stopped growth of the penicillin G-resistant microorganisms, and no death was observed, but a fraction of the microorganisms were killed in the wild culture. Both the wild and the resistant cultures recovered from the shock in a few hours. Addition of penicillin G-resistant microorganisms together with the antibiotic dosage into the wild culture prevented death.

Subtyping of Salmonella Food Isolates Suggests the Geographic Clustering of Serotype Telaviv Durul, Bora; Acar, Sinem; Bulut, Ece; Kyere, Emmanuel O.; Soyer, Yeşim (Mary Ann Liebert Inc, 2015-12-01) Salmonella is commonly found in a variety of food products and is a major cause of bacterial foodborne illness throughout the world. In this study, we investigated the prevalence and diversity of Salmonella in eight different food types: sheep ground meat, cow ground meat, chicken meat, cow offal, traditional Sanliurfa cheese, unripened feta cheese, pistachios, and isot (a spice blend of dried red peppers specific to Sanliurfa), traditionally and commonly consumed in Turkey. Among 192 food samples, Salmonel...
Molecular methods for identification of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus using methionine biosynthesis and 16S rRNA genes Cebeci, Aysun; Gültekin, Güzin Candan (Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2008-11-01) Yoghurt and starter culture producers are still searching strains of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus to produce healthier yogurt with longer shelf life, better texture, taste and quality. However, selective identification of Lb. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus and Strep. thermophilus from a mixed population using microbiological and biochemical methods is difficult, time consuming and may not be accurate. In this study, a quick, sensitive and accurate method is propo...
Mathematical modeling of swelling in high moisture whey protein gels Öztop, Halil Mecit (Elsevier BV, 2011-09-01) Gels prepared from whey proteins can be used for controlled release of nutrients or active ingredients in food systems. The objective of this study was to characterize the water uptake by these hydrophilic gels to aid in the design of release systems. Whey protein isolate (WPI) gels (17% w/w protein) of different aspect ratios were submersed in aqueous solution at pH 7.0. Modeling of mass uptake is presented in terms of Case I (Fickian diffusion) and Case II (kinetic) models. Due to the extent of swelling, ...
EFFECT OF MICROWAVE PROCESSING ON WATER SOLUBLE VITAMINS: KINETIC PARAMETERS Ökmen, Zinet Aytanga; Bayındırlı, Alev (1999-01-01) The effects of microwave processing on water soluble vitamins (ascorbic acid, niacin, thiamin, and riboflavin) were determined. The kinetic parameters of vitamin degradation reactions for microwave heating were determined for model vitamin systems. The degradation reactions were found to be first-order reactions. The kinetic parameters at different temperatures were also determined.
Optimisation of spray drying parameters for Lactobacillus acidophilus encapsulation in whey and gum Arabic: Its application in yoghurt Leylak, Cansu; Özdemir, Kübra Sultan; Gurakan, G. Candan; Ögel, Zümrüt Begüm (Elsevier BV, 2021-01-01) To maintain viable cells over the critical value of 10(6) cfu g(-1) throughout shelf life of probiotic yoghurt, Lactobacillus acidophilus LA-5 was encapsulated by spray drying using whey powder (WP) and gum arabic (GA) mixtures. Box-Behnken Design (BBD) method was used to optimise drying conditions and WP to GA ratio in wall material. Responses were recorded for encapsulation efficiency and production efficiency of microcapsules. Optimum conditions were determined as: inlet air temperature, 140 degrees C; l...
