RESUMEN

Yoghurt fermented by Leuconostoc mesenteroides XR1 from Kefir grains was found to produce a unique silk drawing phenomenon. This property was found to be associated with the exopolysaccharides (EPS), X-EPS, produced by strain XR1. In order to better understand the mechanism that produced this phenomenon, the X-EPS was extracted, purified and characterized. The molecular weight and monosaccharide composition were determined by size exclusion chromatography coupled with multi-angle laser light scattering (SEC-MALLS) and ion chromatography (IC) analysis, respectively. The results showed that its molecular weight was 4.183 × 106 g/mol and its monosaccharide composition was glucose, and glucuronic acid, with the contents of 567.6148 and 0.2096 µg/mg, respectively. FT-IR and NMR analyses showed that X-EPS was an α-pyranose polysaccharide and was composed of 92.22 % α-(1 â†’ 6) linked d-glucopyranose units and 7.77 % α-(1 â†’ 3) branching. Furthermore, it showed a chain-like microstructure with branches in atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) experiments. These results suggested that the unique structure of X-EPS, gave the yoghurt a strong viscosity and cohesiveness, which resulted in the silk drawing phenomenon. This work suggested that X-EPS holds the potential for food and industrial applications.
