Abstract
Polysaccharides are being used in food and allied industries as texture improving agents, stabilizers, for the preparation of the edible films etc. Plant and seaweed derived polysaccharides suffer lack of assured supply and variations in quality. Microbial exopolysaccharides (EPS) provide a valid alternative. An EPS producing lactic acid bacterium was isolated from cabbage and identified as Lactobacillus sp. CFR-2180. Production of 22 g/L of EPS in 24 h at 30°C was noticed. The EPS had 65% total carbohydrates, 0.7% protein, 10% uronic acid and 2.0% moisture. Analysis by gas chromatography revealed that the EPS is a heteropolysaccharide with the presence of mannose, galactose and glucose in a ratio of 1:7:5, respectively. Gel permeation chromatography and HPLC analysis of the EPS indicated presence of multiple peaks with molecular weight ranging from 1.8 x 104 to 2.5 x 106 Da., confirming the heterogeneity of the EPS. The results of the preliminary characterization of the EPS indicated that it is a new EPS that has not been reported earlier.
