ABSTRACT
Functional lycopene-rich yogurt displays attractive nutritious and health-promoting benefits among existing functional dairy products, owing to supplement with lycopene which could enhance immunity, prevent cancer, and cardiovascular diseases. Due to poor stability and fat-solubility of lycopene, its incorporation into yogurt is challengeable. In this study, carotenoid genes for lycopene synthesis were co-introduced into probiotic Bacillus subtilis for efficient lycopene production. Further engineered B. subtilis was applied as adjunct starter culture for achieving lycopene-rich yogurt. Developed yogurt exhibited desirable physiochemical characteristics compared with plain yogurt. Moreover, lycopene-rich yogurt was endowed with significantly high antioxidant capacity. More importantly, this functionalized yogurt had attractive sensorial attributes for quality-assured food to facilitate consumer acceptance. As the first report of fortifying yogurt of lycopene using B. subtilis with improved functional properties, this study offers a new and facile clue to enrich bioactive lycopene and probiotic B. subtilis in yogurt for healthy and nutritional food development.
