Lactic and acetic acid bacteria (LAB and AAB) are generally recognized as safe
microorganisms. Their increasing demand in food industry has motivate this present
study to perform molecular identification, in vitro characterization, anticancer
assessment and microencapsulation of probiotics from traditional dairy products
produced in the west of Iran region. Cancer epidemiology showed lower cases recorded
in this region compared with other areas in Iran which can be associated with the daily
dietary intake of people living in these areas. Dairy products made from the west of
Iran employs traditional methods involving no antibiotics in the animal feed and often
contained higher acidity compared with commercial dairy products. Probiotic bioactive
compounds have fewer side effects with low-cost when use in chemotherapy. Thus, the
identification of probiotic bacteria exhibiting anticancer property isolated from dairy
products for medicinal purposes is highly desirable.
The isolated bacteria from 5 types of traditional dairy products were identified and
clustered into 5 genera (Lactococcus, Leuconostoc, Lactobacillus, Enterococcus, and
Acetobacter) with 12 species, 4 subspecies, and 27 strains using combination of
different molecular techniques (namely 16S rRNA sequencing, (GTG)5-PCR, and
ARDRA).In vitro characterization showed 11 isolates displaying high anti-pathogenic
activity and antibiotic susceptibility. Their survival rates in the harsh gastrointestinal
conditions were also high, calculated at >70%.
Cytotoxic assays indicated that extracted metabolites from Acetobactersyzygii38Lac,
Enterococcus durans 39C, and Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis 44Lac displayed high
anticancer activity against AGS, MCF-7, HT29, and HeLa cancer cell lines but not on
normal cell lines. Pronase assay revealed that proteins contained in the metabolites play
a key role in anticancer properties of these isolates. Incidence of apoptosis was detected in the isolates on the basis of the morphological assessments via fluorescent
microscope and flow cytometry.
To improve delivery and prolong the survival rate of probiotic in the gastrointestinal
tract, encapsulation approach was investigated using a simple extrusion method. Nine
formulations using different blend of alginate with pysllium or fenugreek were
designed and investigated aiming at improving the encapsulation efficiency. Results
showed 2% (w/v) alginate, 1.5% (w/v) alginate +0.5% (w/v) psyllium, and 1.5% (w/v)
alginate + 0.5% (w/v) fenugreek formulations, with >98% encapsulation efficiency,
high stability during 28 days of storage and displayed high survival rates in harsh
gastrointestinal conditions (>80 %), which were significantly (P < 0.01) higher than the
non-encapsulated bacteria (>62%). Incorporation of 0.5% (w/v) fenugreek and
psyllium into 1.5% (w/v) alginate gel resulted in enhanced encapsulation properties.
For psyllium-alginate formulation, additional properties such as high growthstimulating
effects of probiotic and smaller bead sizes were observed.
Acetobacter strains were isolated for the first time from traditional dairy products,
which is a new finding of this study. Their extracted metabolites displayed high
cytotoxicity effects on various cancer cell lines comparable to commercial cancer drug,
Taxol. Development of a new encapsulated probiotic formulation using fenugreekalginate
blend was also a success. The formulation showed significant improvement in
the delivery of probiotic in gastrointestinal system.
In conclusion, probiotic bacteria were successfully isolated and characterized from
Iranian traditional dairy products. These probiotics exhibited antimicrobial activity,
antibiotic resistance and anticancer activity thus these make bacteria potential
candidates for the development of nutraceutical products. In addition, the study
demonstrates the improved survival and delivery of probiotics in the gastrointestinal
conditions system by using encapsulation technique. |
