Patent

CA 2559596

Bacterial strains are provided that can be isolated from the microflora of lowbush blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium), and that are capable of increasing the antioxidant content of their growth medium. The bacteria can be used, for example, to increase the antioxidant content of various foodstuffs, as probiotics or as additives to animal feed. Antioxidant-enriched compositions produced by fermentation processes utilising the bacteria are also provided. The antioxidant-enriched compositions can be used in the preparation of cosmetics and nutritional supplements. The antioxidant-enriched compositions also have therapeutic applications.

La présente invention concerne des souches bactériennes qui peuvent être isolées de la microflore de bleuet nain (<i>Vaccinium angustifolium</i>), et qui sont capables d'accroître le contenu en antioxydant de leur milieu de croissance. Ces bactéries peuvent être utilisées, par exemple, pour accroître le contenu en antioxydant de diverses denrées alimentaires, sous forme d'éléments probiotiques ou d'additifs d'aliments pour animaux. Cette invention concerne aussi des compositions enrichies en antioxydant produites par des processus de fermentation qui utilisent ces bactéries. Ces compositions enrichies en antioxydant peuvent être utilisées dans la préparation de produits cosmétiques et dans des compléments nutritionnels. Ces compositions enrichies en antioxydant possèdent aussi des applications thérapeutiques.
