Abstract

Recent scientific research has examined the many ways probiotics have a positive effect on human health; especially lactic acid bacteria have received considerable attention due to their ability to produce exopolysaccharides which may be involved in probiotic activity. Lactobacillus exopolysaccharides comprise repeating mono/oligosaccharide subunits that have complicated structure and characteristics. The exopolysaccharide-producing Lactobacillus species are extensively used as starter cultures to produce fermented food products due to their excellent technological characteristics.However, it is their immunoregulatory potential that has gained scientific attention in that it strictly correlates to the chemical structure and configuration of these bacterial exopolysaccharides. Therefore this review highlights the relationship of structure and function of lactic acid bacterial exopolysaccharides with an emphasis on the immunoregulatory potential. It summarizes the details of various in-vitro/in-vivo models used to evaluate exopolysaccharides immunomodulatory potential focusing on the exopolysaccharides structural-immunity relationship. Engineering strategies are proposed for improving production yield. The review concludes with a summary of how exopolysaccharides play a role in the food industry, using yogurt as an example.We searched databases such as the University Network Database, PubMed, Science Direct, SciFinder, Web of Science, Scopus, MedLine, ResearchGate, and Google Scholar to identify studies on role of Lactobacillus and their metabolites especially exopolysaccharide in functional food and its immunoregulatory potential. Lactobacillus exopolysaccharides contain various functional groups (such as hydroxyl group, phosphate group, and carbonyl group) which were helpful to exert their immunomodulatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anticancer activities. Collectively, the data suggest that Lactobacillus exopolysaccharides can be used as nutritional and therapeutic agents to regulate the host immune system, in turn helping to combat various disorders including cancer, diabetes, and hypertension. Overall, a huge gap in knowledge was apparent, suggesting that further in vitro and in vivo investigations are needed to document the immunomodulatory potential of Lactobacillus exopolysaccharides supplemented functional foods.

Some EPSs identified from LAB have biological functions including free radical scavenging, free cholesterol binding, gut microbiota modulation, antitumor, antimicrobial, and antibiofilm properties.
“Several LAB species, particularly those of the genus Lactobacillus, are capable of producing EPSs, and some of the EPSs identified to date by LAB have been shown to have biological functions, such as free radical scavenging, free cholesterol binding, gut microbiota modulation, antitumor, antimicrobial, and antibiofilm properties [8,15,16].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
