The health benefits provided by probiotic fermented milk can be enhanced by the addition of native fruit pulp as they have recognized functional properties. Ellagic acid and ellagitannins present in fruit show physiological and metabolic function in feeding. Identification of these bioactive compounds in the formulation of symbiotic fermented beverages supplemented with L-tryptophan and r…
The visit of Professor Perego aims, among other activities already mentioned, especially successfully finalize the Convention crown from the PhD thesis in co-orientation between the University of São Paulo (USP), São Paulo-SP, Brazil, and the University of Genoa (Genoa), Genoa, Italy, with the defense of PhD Thesis of Ricardo Oliveira PS. This student, along with the student Daniela A. Vi…
This project aims at the detection and identification of bioactive compounds (phenolic compounds, carbohydrates and organic acids) in probiotic yogurts containing açaí (Euterpe oleracea and Euterpe edulis) and fibers of industrial by-products using yoghurt starter culture (Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophilus, Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus) and probiotic (Bifidobacte…

The aims of this project are to understand the mechanisms of degradation of the physiological state of Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis when exposed to double stress: cold and acid related to the levels of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) of milk, to improve the stability during deleterious conditions. First, it will be study the growth of B. animalis subsp. lactis with other lactic a…
The functional food industries are in expansion mainly by probiotic and prebiotic products. Studies have shown some probiotic strains develop immune modulation effect, however, these results are controversial and the mechanisms are not been understood. Although, some probiotic strains increase IL-10 and g-INF release modulating the immune response, this response is weaker in probiotic str…
The Brazilian Ministry of Health recommends the enhancement of regional Brazilian food as a means of sustainable development of agricultural communities. Some fruits that occur in the Amazon, Cerrado and Atlantic Forest as açai (Euterpe oleracea), caja (Spondias mombim) and guarana (Paullinia cupana), still offer a broad field of research and development of new food products. On the other…
