Abstract
Yogurt usually contains 5-7% sugar and 3-5% lactose. As β-galactosidases can hydrolyze lactose and improve sweetness, they have the potential to produce lactose-free (LF) and no-sugar-added (NSA) yogurt. In this study, β-galactosidase AoBgal35A from Aspergillus oryzae was engineered by site-saturation mutagenesis. Results of 19 variants of T955 residue showed that lactose hydrolysis rate of T955R-AoBgal35A was up to 90.7%, much higher than 78.5% of the wild type. Moreover, the optimal pH of T955R-AoBgal35A was shifted from pH 4.5 to pH 5.5 and the optimal temperature decreased from 60°C to 50°C. The mutant T955R-AoBgal35A was successfully expressed in Komagatella pastoris, which produced extracellularly 4528 U/mL of β-galactosidase activity. The mutant T955R-AoBgal35A was used to produce LF yogurt. Streptococcus thermophilus counts of LF yogurt increased from 7.9 to 9.5 lg cfu/g, significantly higher than that of the control group (8.9 lg cfu/g). Residual lactose content of LF yogurt was 0.13%, meeting the requirement of "lactose-free" label (<0.5%, GB 28050-2011, China). Furthermore, sugar in yogurt was replaced by whey powder to produce LF-NSA yogurt. The optimal addition content of whey powder was 7.5%. The texture, WHC and titratable acidity of LF and LF-NSA yogurt achieved good stability during the shelf life. Therefore, this study provides an insight for technological implications of β-galactosidases in the dairy industry.

Abstract
Synergistic fermentation of milk by Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus is one of the key factors that determines the quality of yogurt. In this study, the mechanism whereby yogurt flavor compounds are produced by mixture of S. thermophilus SIT-20.S and L. delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus SIT-17.B were investigated by examining these strains' flavor production, growth, and gene transcription. The results showed that yogurt produced by a 10:1 mixture of the aforementioned strains had the highest abundance of acetoin, whereas yogurt produced by a 1:1 mixture had the highest abundance of diacetyl and acetaldehyde. In addition, the growth of S. thermophilus SIT-20.S was enhanced in the 10:1 mixture. Transcriptomic analysis revealed differentially expressed genes in the flavor-compound-related pathways of S. thermophilus SIT-20.S and L. delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus SIT-17.B in yogurts produced by 10:1 and 1:1 mixture compared with those produced by either strain alone. Mixed fermentations regulated the expression of genes related to glycolysis, resulting in an increase of pyruvate, which is an important precursor for diacetyl and acetoin synthesis. The gene encoding the acetoin reductase (SIT-20S_orf01454) was decreased in S. thermophilus SIT-20.S, which ensured the accumulation of acetoin. Besides, gene encoding the acetaldehyde dehydrogenase (SIT-20S_orf00949) was upregulated in S. thermophilus SIT-20.S, and the expression of alcohol dehydrogenase (SIT-20S_orf01479; SIT-17B_orf00943) was downregulated in both strains, maintaining the abundance of acetaldehyde. In addition, the gene encoding the NADH oxidase (SIT-17B_orf00860) in L. delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus SIT-17.B were upregulated, which promoted the accumulation of diacetyl and acetoin. In conclusion, we characterized the mechanism by which S. thermophilus and L. delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus synergistically generated yogurt flavor compounds during their production of yogurt and highlighted the importance of appropriate proportions of fermentation starters for improving the flavor of yogurts.

Abstract
β-Galactosidases are crucial carbohydrate-active enzymes that naturally catalyze the hydrolysis of galactoside bonds in oligo- and disaccharides. These enzymes are commonly used to degrade lactose and produce low-lactose and lactose-free dairy products that are beneficial for lactose-intolerant people. β-galactosidases exhibit transgalactosylation activity, and they have been employed in the synthesis of galactose-containing compounds such as galactooligosaccharides. However, most β-galactosidases have intrinsic limitations, such as low transglycosylation efficiency, significant product inhibition effects, weak thermal stability, and a narrow substrate spectrum, which greatly hinder their applications. Enzyme engineering offers a solution for optimizing their catalytic performance. The study of the enzyme's structure paves the way toward explaining catalytic mechanisms and increasing the efficiency of enzyme engineering. In this review, the structure features of β-galactosidases from different glycosyl hydrolase families and the catalytic mechanisms are summarized in detail to offer guidance for protein engineering. The properties and applications of β-galactosidases are discussed. Additionally, the latest progress in β-galactosidase engineering and the strategies employed are highlighted. Based on the combined analysis of structure information and catalytic mechanisms, the ultimate goal of this review is to furnish a thorough direction for β-galactosidases engineering and promote their application in the food and dairy industries.

Abstract
With increasing health awareness worldwide, lactose intolerance has become a major concern of consumers, creating new market opportunities for low-lactose/lactose-free dairy foods. In recent years, through innovating processes and technologies, dairy manufacturers have significantly improved the variety, and functional and sensory qualities of low-lactose and lactose-free dairy products. Based on this, this paper first covers the pathology and epidemiology of lactose intolerance and market trends. Then, we focus on current advantages and disadvantages of different lactose hydrolysis technologies and improvements in these technologies to enhance nutritional value, and functional, sensory, and quality properties of lactose-free dairy products. We found that more and more cutting-edge technologies are being applied to the production of lactose-free dairy products, and that these technologies greatly improve the quality and production efficiency of lactose-free dairy products. Hopefully, our review can provide a theoretical basis for the marketing expansion and consumption guidance for low-lactose/lactose-free dairy products.

Abstract
Nondigestible functional oligosaccharides are of particular interest in recent years because of their unique prebiotic activities, technological characteristics, and physiological effects. Among different types of strategies for the production of nondigestible functional oligosaccharides, enzymatic methods are preferred owing to the predictability and controllability of the structure and composition of the reaction products. Nondigestible functional oligosaccharides have been proved to show excellent prebiotic effects as well as other benefits to intestinal health. They have exhibited great application potential as functional food ingredients for various food products with improved quality and physicochemical characteristics. This article reviews the research progress on the enzymatic production of several typical nondigestible functional oligosaccharides in the food industry, including galacto-oligosaccharides, xylo-oligosaccharides, manno-oligosaccharides, chito-oligosaccharides, and human milk oligosaccharides. Moreover, their physicochemical properties and prebiotic activities are discussed as well as their contributions to intestinal health and applications in foods.

Abstract
A simple generic method for enhancing extracellular protein yields in engineered bacteria is still lacking. Here, we demonstrated that phage-encoded holin can be used to export proteins to the extracellular medium in both Gram-negative Escherichia coli and -positive Lactococcus lactis. When a putative holin gene LLNZ_RS10380 annotated in the genome of L. lactis NZ9000 (hol380) was recombinantly expressed in E. coli BL21(DE3), the Hol380 oligomerized up to hexamer in the cytoplasmic membrane, yielding membrane pore to allow the passage of cytosolic β-galatosidase (116 kDa), whose extracellular production reached 54.59 U/μL, accounting for 76.37% of the total activity. However, the overexpressed Hol380 could not release cytosolic proteins across the membrane in L. lactis NZ9000, but increased the secretory production of staphylococcal nuclease to 2.55-fold and fimbrial adhesin FaeG to 2.40-fold compared with those guided by signal peptide Usp45 alone. By using a combination of proteomics and transcriptional level analysis, we found that overexpression of the Hol380 raised the accumulation of Ffh and YidC involved in the signal recognition particle pathway in L. lactis, suggesting an alternative road participating in protein secretion. This study proposed a new approach by expressing holin in bacterial cell factories to export target proteins of economic or medical interest. This article is protected by copyright.
