Lactic acid fermentation is an effective strategy for food preservation and functional enhancement. This study evaluated the fermentation of Hericium erinaceus by-products using Lactoplantibacillus plantarum and Lactocaseibacillus rhamnosus, assessing microbial stability, physicochemical parameters, phenolic content, antioxidant activity, rheology, and biogenic amine formation over 240 h. Lp. plantarum promoted...
Ewe’s milk cheese produced from raw milk holds cultural and economic importance in Southern European countries; however, it poses microbiological challenges. Among spoilage microorganisms, Pseudomonas fluorescens is particularly concerning due to thermostable enzymes that impair the texture, aroma, and stability of cheese, even under refrigeration and salinity. This study evaluated the influence of sodium chlor...
In this study, the lactic fermentation of immature tomatoes as a tool for food ingredient production was evaluated as a circular economy-oriented alternative for valorising industrial tomatoes that are unsuitable for processing and which have wasted away in large quantities in the field. Two lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were assessed as starter cultures in an immature tomato pulp fermentation to produce functiona...

Many bacteria pathogenic to man can interfere in water distribution systems, forming aggregates that give rise to a complex structure called biofilm. In order to monitor the microbiological content of water from beach showers from ten sites along the coast from Lisboa-Carcavelos to Foz do Arelho beaches, 24 water samples were analyzed in 2013, 12 during January and February, and other 12 during June. The sample...
Muitas bactérias patogénicas podem interferir no sistema de distribuição de água formando agregados de biofilme. Com o objetivo de monitorizar a qualidade microbiológica da água dos chuveiros de praia, recolheram-se 24 amostras de água, 12 em janeiro e fevereiro, e outras 12 em junho de 2013, em 10 praias ao logo da costa Lisboa-Carcavelos a Foz do Arelho. As amostras foram colhidas em frascos Esterilizados de ...
