  • Mutants of defective in carbon catabolism regulation
    Patent number: 8551729
    Abstract: The invention relates to the use of mutants of L. casei having at least a mutation impairing the regulation of a carbon catabolite repression (CCR) mechanism involving the PTS protein HPr, for the preparation of a food product. The use of said mutants allows for instance to impart to said food products an improved texture and flavor, and/or a higher content in aroma compounds.
    Type: Grant

  • Method for Protecting Bioactive Food Ingredients Using Decoy Ingredients
    Publication number: 20070298144
    Abstract: The invention concerns a food product containing one or more living microorganisms and at least one bioactive food ingredient of interest, wherein said bioactive food ingredient(s) of interest are protected: physically, said bioactive food ingredient(s) of interest being preferably encapsulated; and/or by means of at least one decoy food ingredient contained in said food product such that their metabolization by said living microorganisms is reduced. More particularly, the invention concerns a food product containing living microorganisms, bioactive ingredients of interest and decoy ingredients.
