Abstract
Two new -biotics concepts, such as paraprobiotics and postbiotics were introduced, with beneficial effects beyond the viability of probiotic. In this study, the effect of individual (thermal, ohmic heating, high pressure, and ultrasound) and combined (ohmic, high pressure and ultrasound in combination with heating) treatments on the inactivation kinetics of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum was investigated. Different inactivation rates were obtained, up to 8.18 after 10 min at 90 °C, 2.07 after 15 min at a voltage gradient of 20 V/cm, 6.62 after 10 min at 600 MPa and 3.6 after ultrasound treatment for 10 min at 100 % amplitude. The experimental data were fitted to Weibullian model proposed by Peleg, allowing to estimate the inactivation rate coefficient (b) and the shape of the inactivation curves (n). At lower concentration, the samples showed both cytocompatibility and antiproliferative effect, stimulating the cell proliferation on both murine fibroblast and human colorectal adenocarcinoma cell lines.
