“…With regard to safety, the probiotic micro-organisms should not be pathogenic, should not have any growthstimulating effects in bacteria-causing oral diseases, and should not have the ability to transfer antibiotic resistance genes (Grajek et al 2005). The strains in ProBiora 3 appear to meet these safety guidelines.…”

Aims: To conduct a pilot human clinical trial to assess the safety and to test the ability of a probiotic mouthwash, ProBiora3, to affect the levels of Streptococcus mutans and certain known periodontal pathogens in the mouth when administered twice daily over a period of 4 weeks. Methods and Results: The mouthwash contained three specific strains of naturally occurring oral bacteria and was tested at two dose levels: 106 and 108 colony forming units each of Strep. oralis strain KJ3sm, Strep. uberis strain KJ2sm, and the spontaneous lactic acid‐deficient variant of Strep. rattus, strain JH145. Substantial decreases in the levels of the marker bacteria were observed. No safety issues were noted with the twice daily application of this mouthwash. Conclusions: Despite the small number of subjects and the use of young, orally healthy adults, along with the inherent variability in the microbiological measurements, the probiotic mouthwash was able to substantially affect the levels of dental pathogens in saliva and periodontal pathogens in subgingival plaque. Significance and Impact of the Study: The results of this pilot human study suggest that the probiotic mouthwash product may be safe for daily use as an aid in maintaining both dental and periodontal health.

“…Brojna istraživanja i epidemiološki podaci ukazuju na važnost antioksidanasa kada je reč o prevenciji nastanka raka ili kardiovaskularnih bolesti. Za razliku od prehrambenih antioksidanasa koji samo sprečavaju oksidativne procese u masnim materijama tokom proizvodnje i čuvanja hrane, prirodni antioksidansi se svrstavaju u "bioaktivne materije" i imaju važnu ulogu u metabolizmu ćelija [28].…”

IzvodJedan od najekonomičnijih načina prerade surutke predstavlja proizvodnja napitaka kojom se u okviru samo jednog procesa iskorišćavaju svi potencijali surutke kao sirovine. Funkcionalne i senzorne karakteristike napitaka na bazi surutke su kriterijum koji je od presudnog značaja za plasiranje proizvoda na tržište i pridobijanje potrošača. Cilj ovog rada je bio određivanje nutritivnih i funkcionalnih karakteristika fermentisanog napitka od surutke i mleka dobijenog primenom komercijalne ABY-6 kulture. Rezultati su pokazali da se primenjena starter kultura može koristiti za proizvodnju fermentisanog napitka od surutke i mleka sa zadovoljavajućim nutritivnim svojstvima. Dodatak mleka bio je bitan ne samo za nutritivni kvalitet nastalog proizvoda, nego je poboljšao i njegov ukus, homogenost i stabilnost. Analiza hemijskog sastava fermentisanog napitka od surutke i mleka i nutritivna informacija o njemu je pokazala da proizvod predstavlja dobar izvor proteina i kalcijuma. Proizvedeni napitak je sadržao 8,07 log (CFU/mL) starter bakterija, pokazao antioksidativnu aktivnost od najmanje 38,1% i titracijsku kiselost od 28,2 °SH koja odgovara kiselosti proizvoda iz ove kategorije.Ključne reči: fermentisani napitak na bazi surutke, probiotici, nutritivna vrednost.

“…From the safety point of view, the putative probiotic microorganisms should not be pathogenic, should not have any growth-stimulating effects on bacteria causing diarrhea, and should not have an ability to transfer antibiotic resistance genes. The probiotics should rather be able to maintain genetic stability in oral microflora (Grajek et al, 2005).…”

Probiotics: contributions to oral health

2007

Probiotics have been extensively studied for their health-promoting effects. The main field of research has been in the gastrointestinal tract. However, in the past few years probiotics have also been investigated in the oral health perspective, which is the topic of the present review. We discuss the mechanisms of bacterial adhesion, potential of probiotics in oral cavity colonization, interspecies interactions, and possible effects on immunomodulation, and means of probiotic administration. We suggest that probiotic treatment of diseases other than dental caries and periodontal disease should also be systematically investigated. In general, hardly any randomized controlled trials have been conducted in this area and the studies on probiotics vs oral health are still in their cradle. Hence, much more investigations are called for before any evidence-based conclusions can be drawn: if or not probiotic therapy can be recommended for oral health purposes.
