The effects of fermentation with lactic acid bacteria on the antioxidant and anti-glycation properties of edible cyanobacteria and microalgae

Cyanobacteria and microalgae-derived food supplements have gained attention in recent times, owing to their antioxidant, hypolipidemic, and anti-obesity effects. In the present study, we analysed the antioxidant and anti-glycation activities of 12 aqueous extract solutions (AESs) of 10 species of cyanobacteria and microalgae. The AESs of the microalgae Dunaliella tertiolecta and Pleurochrysis carterae showed strong ferric-reducing powers, superoxide anion (O-2(-)) radical scavenging capacity, and anti-glycation activity in a bovine serum albumin (BSA)-fructose model. Wild Nostoc commune (cyanobacteria) and sake lees cultured Euglena sp. (microalga) could be fermented by Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis Uruma-SU1, whereas normal cultured N. commune and Euglena could not. The O-2(-) radical-scavenging capacity and anti-glycation activity in the BSA-methylglyoxal model of the fermented wild N. commune and sake lees cultured Euglena samples were higher than those of the other samples. As advanced glycation end products and reactive oxygen species induce age-related diseases, our study illustrates the health-promoting properties of D. tertiolecta and P. carterae and lactic acid bacteria-fermented wild N. commune and sake lees cultured Euglena sp.; moreover, it communicates their importance as nutritional food materials.
