| Summary: | This study aimed to characterize the fermentation of commercial xylooligosaccharide (XOS) using <i>Lactiplantibacillus plantarum</i> S61. XOS was utilized as the main carbon source in a modified MRS medium (MRSm) at concentrations of 1%, 2%, 4%, and 6% (<i>w</i>/<i>v</i>). The growth of <i>L. plantarum</i> S61 was tracked daily over a week and compared to a control MRS medium using glucose as the main carbon source. The pH, total free acidity, and biomass were analyzed during fermentation, and the resulting fermentation product was analyzed for its content of fatty acids, total polyphenols, and the production of antioxidant and antimicrobial metabolites. The findings revealed that <i>L. plantarum</i> S61 thrived in MRSm, particularly at a 6% XOS concentration, which was identified as the best condition among the four tested concentrations (1%, 2%, 4%, and 6%). The fermentation of XOS by <i>L. plantarum</i> S61 significantly increased the total phenolic content and antioxidant activity compared to glucose, with the highest phenolic content observed at 6% XOS (6.70 ± 0.01 mg GAE/g). The strains produced various organic acids including lactic, malic, and oxalic acids from glucose and XOS. Notably, the strains yielded a broader range of organic acids with higher contents in the presence of XOS, leading to enhanced antifungal and antibacterial activities compared to glucose. Significant antibacterial activity was observed against Gram-negative bacteria, particularly <i>Salmonella enterica</i>, with inhibition zones of 20.25 mm and 11.75 mm for XOS (5% and 6%) and glucose, respectively. For Gram-positive bacteria, <i>S. aureus</i> and <i>M. luteus</i> exhibited inhibition zones of 20.01 mm for XOS 6% and 10.25 mm for glucose. In terms of antifungal activity, the strongest inhibition was observed against <i>Rhodotorula glutinis</i>, with inhibition zones of 26.00 mm for XOS 6% and 20.04 mm for glucose. The fermentation product of XOS by <i>L. plantarum</i> S61 showed significant inhibitory effects against pathogenic bacteria and yeasts, suggesting its potential application in the manufacturing of preservatives with antifungal properties and pharmaceutical products targeting pathogenic and spoilage yeasts. |
