Abstract

Cheese whey, one of the most abundant by-products of the dairy industry, causes economic losses and pollution problems. In this study, deproteinised sweet whey was fermented by Pseudomonas taetrolens LMG 2336 to produce a prebiotic compound (lactobionic acid, LBA). Endotoxins produced by these microorganisms were successfully removed using microfiltration techniques, allowing the fermented whey permeate to be used in the food industry. The fermented whey permeate was used to develop prebiotic edible films by adding two different concentrations of gelatine (0.45 and 0.9 g gelatine g−1 LBA; LBA45 and LBA90). Furthermore, Lactobacillus plantarum CECT 9567 was added as a probiotic microorganism (LP45 and LP90), creating films containing both a prebiotic and a probiotic. The mechanical properties, water solubility, light transmittance, colour, and microstructure of the films were fully characterised. Additionally, the LBA and probiotic concentration in LP45 and LP90 were monitored under storage conditions. The strength and water solubility of the films were affected by the presence of LBA, and though all these films were homogeneous, they were slightly opaque. In LP45 and LP90, the presence of LBA as a prebiotic improved the viability of L. plantarum during cold storage, compared to the control. Therefore, these films could be used in the food industry to coat different foodstuffs to obtain functional products.
