dc.description.abstractThe production of exopolysaccharides (EPS) by Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) is technologically crucial because it has a wide range of applications in food technology, biotechnology, and health. In the present work, a new quinoa sourdough isolate of Leuconostoc mesenteroides strain AK7 was identified as a novel producer of a dextran-type EPS. The monomeric units of EPS AK7 were confirmed by HPLC analysis, while NMR spectroscopy and GC-MS linkage analysis further verified the EPS structure as a branched dextran containing mainly (1-6)-linked alpha- D-glucose units with (1-3,6)-linked alpha- D-glucose unit as branching points. An average molecular weight of 1.2 x 106 Da was detected for glucan AK7. FTIR analysis was applied to determine the functional units of dextran AK7. In terms of thermal features, TGA and DSC analysis were applied and a specific degradation temperature of 300 degrees C was found for dextran AK7. The morphology of the lyophilized EPS displayed a rough, dense, and porous structure, as observed through SEM analysis. Dextran AK7 revealed a semi-crystalline nature detected by XRD analysis. These structural and functional properties of dextran AK7 produced by Leuconostoc mesenteroides AK7 from quinoa sourdough suggest its potential usage for food industry applications.
