Functionality of exopolysaccharides produced by lactic acid bacteria in an in vitro gastric system

Aims: To evaluate whether slime‐exopolysaccharides (EPS) or capsular‐polysaccharide (CPS) production could protect the polymer‐producing strains Streptococcus thermophilus CRL 1190 and Lactobacillus casei CRL 87 against the harsh conditions of an in vitro gastric system (GS). EPS stability on the G...
