Despite their high technofunctional potential, hetero polysaccharides from lactic acid bacteria are still not commercially used in unfermented foods, as the small amount of synthesised EPS calls for a high isolation effort. This study aims to analyse the macromolecular properties of EPS and cell ...
Article: Exopolysaccharides produced by lactic acid bacteria: from health-promoting benefits to stress tolerance mechanisms
Abstract A wide range of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) is able to produce capsular or extracellular polysaccharides, with various chemical compositions and properties. Polysaccharides produced by LAB alter the rheological properties of the matrix in which they are dispersed, leading to typically viscous an...

Recently, exopolysaccharides (EPSs) formed by various strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have been increasingly reported to exert powerful biological actions such as effects against oxidation, immunomodulating, antitumor, antibiofilm and antibacterial properties8. Their thorough characterization is vital ...
Fig. 1. Exopolysaccharides from lactic acid bacteria (LAB-EPS) have probiotic effects on the intestinal health and immune system in livestock. Homopolysaccharides and heteropolysaccharides are two categories of LAB-EPS, which can be used as carbon and energy sources by intestinal microbiota to suppo...
