Strains of propionibacterium
View Patent ↗The present invention relates to novel strains of Propionibacterium as well as preparations and compositions, such as fermentation broths, protective cultures, final food or feed product with Propionibacterium alone or in combination with bacteria of the genus Lactobacillus . The present invention further relates to methods for the controlling of growth of a contaminant, such as a bacteria, yeast or mold by using these novel strains of Propionibacterium.
1. A method of preparing a final food or feed product, the method comprising adding to a food or feed product Propionibacterium freudenreichii subsp. shermanii DSM 25846 bacteria or a bacterial preparation comprising this bacteria.
2. A method according to claim 1 , wherein said Propionibacterium freudenreichii subsp. shermanii DSM 25846 is added as a bacterial preparation also comprising a bacterium of the genus Lactobacillus or any other strain of the genus Propionibacterium , or a bacterium of the genus Lactobacillus and any other strain of the genus Propionibacterium.
3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the bacterium of Lactobacillus is selected from the group consisting of Lactobacillus paracasei subsp. paracasei DSM 14514 , Lactobacillus paracasei subsp. paracasei DSM 25832 , Lactobacillus plantarum DSM 25833, Lactobacillus plantarum DSM 25834, Lactobacillus plantarum DSM 25835 , Lactobacillus plantarum DSM 25836, Lactobacillus plantarum DSM 25837 and Lactobacillus rhamnosus DSM 7061.
4. The method according to claim 2 , wherein said Propionibacterium freudenreichii subsp. shermanii DSM 25846 is added as a freeze-dried bacterial preparation.
5. A method of preparing a final food or feed product, the method comprising adding to a food or feed matrix, together with a starter culture, Propionibacterium freudenreichii subsp. shermanii DSM 25846 bacteria or a bacterial preparation comprising this bacteria, in the preparation of a final food or feed product.
6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the Propionibacterium freudenreichii subsp. shermanii DSM 25846 is added as a bacterial preparation also comprising a bacterium of the genus Lactobacillus or any other strain of the genus Propionibacterium , or a bacterium of the genus Lactobacillus and any other strain of the genus Propionibacterium.
7. The method according to claim 5 , wherein said Propionibacterium freudenreichii subsp. shermanii DSM 25846 is added as a freeze-dried bacterial preparation.
