Abstract

Abstract The possibility of producing functional ingredients based on soymilk, fermented with a new identified strain Deinococcus sp. GKB-Aid 1995, was examined. Firstly, a prenatal developmental toxicity test in

Highlights

The global functional food industry is striving to explore new ingredients and develop new applications to meet the demands of consumers
Several studies have demonstrated that the Deinococcus species had beneficial impacts in the field of environmental science and biotechnology [2,3]; no information is available on their uses as functional food ingredients
As several recent studies have demonstrated that carotenoid extracts from the Deinococcus species have potential anti-oxidant and antitumor activities [4,5], this study was conducted to investigate the potential application of strain GKB-Aid 1995 as a functional food additive or ingredient

Summary

Introduction

The global functional food industry is striving to explore new ingredients and develop new applications to meet the demands of consumers. As several recent studies have demonstrated that carotenoid extracts from the Deinococcus species have potential anti-oxidant and antitumor activities [4,5], this study was conducted to investigate the potential application of strain GKB-Aid 1995 as a functional food additive or ingredient. Preliminary in vitro and in vivo studies indicated that the fermented product of strain GKB-Aid 1995 possessed potent antioxidant and anticarcinogenic effects when fermented with soymilk (unpublished data). Previous results showed that the fermented soymilk product with strain GKB-Aid 1995 was found without any genotoxic effect under the experimental conditions [1], and the no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) of the product is greater than 10 mL/kg body weight in a 28 day animal study in Sprague-Dawley rats (unpublished data). The second goal of this study was to investigate the
