    Characterisation of probiotic properties of yeast strains isolated from kefir samples
    (WILEY, 2021) Göktaş, Hamza; Dikmen, Hilal; Demirbas, Fatmanur; Sagdic, Osman; Dertli, Enes
    This study aimed to isolate and identify yeast species from kefir samples and to determine their probiotic characteristics in comparison with commercial probiotic yeast Saccharomyces boulardii. The microbial flora of traditional kefir samples were dominated by Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Kluyveromyces marxianus. Kefir isolates demonstrated higher auto-aggregation, hydrophobicity and antioxidant properties compared to S. boulardii although S. boulardii demonstrated the highest survival rate under in vitro gastrointestinal digestion conditions followed by two kefir yeasts K. marxianus and Kazachstania unispora. Importantly, kefir isolates revealed strong antifungal activities against mould species except Penicillium roqueforti. These findings suggest probiotic and functional roles of yeast strains isolated from traditional kefir samples.

    Characteristics of functional ice cream produced with probiotic Saccharomyces boulardii in combination with Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG
    (Elsevier, 2022) Göktaş, Hamza; Dikmen, Hilal; Bekiroğlu, Hatice; Çebi, Nur; Dertli, Enes
    Ice creams have big potential to be used as probiotic food carrier. In this respect, this study aimed to produce ice creams with addition of Saccharomyces boulardii and Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG. Probiotic strains were added to the ice cream mixes before and after aging steps of ice cream production and were inoculated as single or mix cultures. Probiotic ice cream products were then characterized and the survival of the probiotic strains were determined during storage period. Both probiotic strains successfully survived during storage period and their numbers were above 6.18 log CFU/g at final date of storage. The rheological parameters of ice cream products improved with the co-inoculation of S. boulardii and L. rhamnosus both before and after aging step. Importantly the aroma profile of ice cream samples altered with probiotic inoculation and ethanol was the major volatile compound in ice cream samples produced with S. boulardii added before aging step. Inoculation of S. boulardii and L. rhamnosus as single cultures also resulted in formation of distinct aroma compounds in ice cream products. The highest overall acceptability score in sensorial evaluation of ice cream products was obtained from the ice cream products produced with inoculation of probiotics after aging step.

    Multilocus sequence typing of L. bulgaricus and S. thermophilus strains from Turkish traditional yoghurts and characterisation of their techno-functional roles
    (Korean Society Food Science & Technology-Kosfost, 2024) Dikmen, Hilal; Goktas, Hamza; Demirbas, Fatmanur; Kayacan, Selma; Ispirli, Humeyra; Arici, Muhammet; Turker, Mustafa
    In this study, Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus strains from traditional Turkish yoghurts were isolated, identified by 16S rRNA sequencing and genotypically 14 S. thermophilus and 6 L. bulgaricus strains were obtained as distinct strains by MLST analysis. Lactic acid production levels of the L. bulgaricus strains were higher than S. thermophilus strains. HPLC analysis showed that EPS monosaccharide composition of the strains mainly consisted of glucose and galactose. In general, all strains were found to be susceptible for antibiotics, except some strains were resistance to gentamicin and kanamycin. Apart from two strains of S. thermophilus, all strains displayed strong auto-aggregation level greater than 95% at 24 h incubation. S. thermophilus strains showed higher cell surface hydrophobicity than L. bulgaricus strains. This study demonstrated the isolation, identification, genotypic discrimination and techno-functional features of wild type yoghurt starter cultures which can potentially find place in industrial applications.
