Abstract
Microbial exopolysaccharide (EPS) is a biothickener that can be added to a wide variety of food products, where it serves as a viscosifying, stabilizing, emulsifying, and gelling agent. The objective of this study was to investigate the optimum conditions of pH, incubation temperature, and whey protein concentration (WPC) for EPS production by Loctobocillus rhamnosus ATCC 9595. We found that maximal EPS production was achieved at a pH of 5.5 and temperature of 37 degrees C. At the same fermentation conditions, EPS production was affected by the addition of L. rhamnosus GG (a weak-EPS producer). After growth for 24 fir, total EPS production was 583 +/- 15.4 mg/L in the single culture system, and 865 +/- 22.6 mg/L in the co-culture system with L. rhamnosus GG. Based on the presence of WPC, EPS production dramatically increased from 583 15.4 (under no WPC supplementation) to 1,011 +/- 14.7 mg/L (under supplementation with 1.0% WPC). These results Suggest that WPC Supplementation and the co-culture systems coupled with small portions of weak-EPS producing strain can play ail important role in the enhancement of EPS production.
