The influence of food fibres on formation of bioproduct functional properties

The paper investigates the influence of cedar cake ’s food fibers on the functional properties of bifidobacteria at milk fermentation. It is established that fermentation process is intensified with increase in a dose of food fibers. Concentration of bifidobacteria viable cages also increases. High-molecular polysaccharides of cedar cake promote formation of thixotropic-reversible links at fermentation of proteinaceous system and form a viscous stable consistence. Correlation between the content of food fibers and bifidobacteria morphological changes is shown in the article. The work presents existence of morphologically various intercellular contacts - cohesion and increase in adhesive properties of the bifidobacteria providing high adaptation to the new environment.
