Abstract
Bacterial cellulose (BC, biocellulose) is a natural polymer of microbiological origin that meets the criteria of a biomaterial for food packaging. The aim of the research was to obtain biocellulose and test its chemical as well as physical characterization as a potential packaging for Dutch-type cheeses. Four variants of biocellulose-based material were obtained: not grinded and grinded variants obtained from YPM medium (YPM-BCNG and YPM-BCG, respectively) and not grinded and grinded variants from acid whey (AW) (AW-BCNG and AW-BCG, respectively). It was demonstrated that AW-BCNG exhibited the highest thermostability and the highest degradation temperature (348 °C). YPM-BCG and YPM-BCNG demonstrated higher sorption properties (approx. 40 %) compared to AW-BCG and AW-BCNG (approx. 15 %). Cheese packaged in biocellulose (except for YPM-BCNG) did not differ in water, fat, or protein content compared to the control cheese. All of the biocellulose packaging variants provided the cheeses with protection against unfavourable microflora. It was demonstrated that cheeses packaged in biocellulose were characterized by lower hardness, fracturability, gumminess, and chewiness than the control cheese sample. The results obtained indicate that BC may be a suitable packaging material for ripening cheeses, which shows a positive impact on selected product features.

Abstract
Lactate is among the top-ten-biobased products. It occurs naturally as D- or L-isomer and as a racemic mixture (DL-lactate). Generally, lactate with a high optical purity is more valuable. In searching for suitable renewable feedstocks for lactate production, unutilized organic waste streams are increasingly coming into focus. Here, we investigated acid whey, which is a lactose-rich byproduct of yogurt production, that represents a considerable environmental footprint for the dairy industry. We investigated the steering of the lactate-isomer composition in a continuous and open culture system (HRT = 0.6 d) at different pH values (pH 5.0 vs. pH 6.5) and process temperatures (38°C to 50°C). The process startup was achieved by autoinoculation. At a pH of 5.0 and a temperature of 47°C-50°C, exclusive D-lactate production occurred because of the dominance of Lactobacillus spp. (> 95% of relative abundance). The highest volumetric D-lactate production rate of 722 ± 94.6 mmol C L-1 d-1 (0.90 ± 0.12 g L-1 h-1), yielding 0.93 ± 0.15 mmol C mmol C-1, was achieved at a pH of 5.0 and a temperature of 44°C (n = 18). At a pH of 6.5 and a temperature of 44°C, we found a mixture of DL-lactate (average D-to-L-lactate production rate ratio of 1.69 ± 0.90), which correlated with a high abundance of Streptococcus spp. and Enterococcus spp. However, exclusive L-lactate production could not be achieved. Our results show that for the continuous conversion of lactose-rich dairy waste streams, the pH was a critical process parameter to control the yield of lactate isomers by influencing the composition of the microbiota. In contrast, temperature adjustments allowed the improvement of bioprocess kinetics.

Abstract
This work describes the preparation of a novel biopolymer hydrogel based on acid whey, cellulose derivatives and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). The hydrogel was prepared and characterized with the aim of producing an environmentally-friendly soil amendment to increase water retention capacity of the soil. The findings showed considerable swelling properties of the hydrogels depending on the PVA content and crosslinking density. The samples with PVA in a concentration 2.5 % and 5 % were more rigid, the gel fraction increased with a subsequently decrease in their swelling capacity. The hydrogels crosslinked with 15 % of citric acid demonstrated a constant swelling ratio (SR) of around 500 % within 10 swelling/drying cycles. The hydrogels crosslinked with 10 % citric acid and supplemented with 1 % of PVA showed SR of 1000-1400 % caused by less crosslinked polymer network and increased pore volume for water uptake. It was found that hydrogel with a higher gel fraction had a stable structure. Supplementing PVA at 5 % extended the period of decomposition of the hydrogel material by almost 60 % in the soil environment and soil humidity was maintained for longer. Applying 2 % of the hydrogel 5PVA to soil increased the water retention capacity by 19 %.

Abstract
The presence of lactic acid and galactose makes spray drying of acid whey (AW) a significant challenge for the dairy industry. In this study, a novel approach is explored to remove these compounds, utilizing food-grade microorganisms. For removing lactic acid, Corynebacterium glutamicum was selected, which has an inherent ability to metabolize lactic acid but does so slowly. To accelerate lactic acid metabolism, a mutant strain G6006 was isolated through adaptive laboratory evolution, which metabolized all lactic acid from AW two times faster than its parent strain. To eliminate galactose, a lactose-negative mutant of Lactococcus lactis that cannot produce lactate was generated. This strain was then co-cultured with G6006 to maximize the removal of both lactic acid and galactose. The microbially "filtered" AW could readily be spray dried into a stable lactose powder. This study highlights the potential of utilizing food-grade microorganisms to process AW, which currently constitutes a global challenge.

Abstract
We investigated sonication as a pre-processing step to reduce acid whey generation during Greek yoghurt manufacture. The generation of a large amount of acid whey during the production of Greek yoghurt is an ongoing problem in the dairy industry and many studies are currently focusing on reducing it. We focused on the use of ultrasonication as a novel approach to minimize the casein fraction in the acid whey stream and simultaneously improve the gel properties. Ultrasound applied before the fermentation modified the structural properties and bonding behaviours of milk proteins, and enhanced the retention of casein in the yoghurt gel after the fermentation and straining steps. Therefore, the use of low-frequency ultrasonication as a pre-processing step may have the potential to provide significant economic benefits to the Greek yoghurt manufacturing process. Moreover, it improved the nutritional and physicochemical properties compared to regular Greek yoghurts.

Abstract
A set of renewable and biodegradable hydrogels based on acid whey and cellulose derivatives blended with poly(lactic acid) (PLA) were designed as eco-friendly biopolymeric material for sustainable agricultural applications. The physico-chemical properties of the hydrogel were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and rheological measurements. The effect of the whey/polysaccharide/PLA hydrogel on soil quality improvement (water retention study, biodegradability, loading capacity and release of the fertilizers) and the growth pattern of Raphanus sativus and Phaseolus vulgaris has been also studied. The addition of PLA has been found to improve mechanical properties of the hydrogel. The introduction of 20% wt PLA extended decomposition time of hydrogels by 25% which makes the material more stable in the environment and maintaining the soil humidity for longer. The increasing the amount of PLA led to a rise in hydrogel viscosity brought about better entrapment efficiency of the fertilizers (86-92% for KNO3 and 87-96% for urea, resp.) compared to control (82% for KNO3 and 85% for urea, resp.). The novel hydrogels with swelling ratio of up to 500% showed potential as a sustainable water reservoir for plants improving water retention capacity of the soil by 30%.

Abstract
β-Galactosidases are key enzymes in the food industry. Apart from the hydrolysis of the saccharide bond of lactose, they also catalyze transgalactosylation reactions, producing galactooligosaccharides (GOS) with prebiotic activity. Here we report the heterologous production in Pichia pastoris of a novel β-galactosidase from the fungus Thermothielavioides terrestris. The enzyme (TtbGal1) was purified and characterized, showing optimal activity at 60 °C and pH 4. TtbGal1 is thermostable, retaining almost full activity for 24 h at 50 °C. It was applied to the production of GOS from defined lactose solutions and acid whey, a liquid waste from the Greek yoghurt industry, reaching yields of 19.4 % and 14.8 %, respectively. HILIC-ESI-QTOF-MS analysis revealed the production of GOS with up to 4 saccharide monomers. The results demonstrate efficient GOS production catalyzed by TtbGal1, valorizing acid whey, a waste with a heavy polluting load from the dairy industry.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to compare the effect of freeze-dried acid whey on physicochemical properties and microbial changes of organic fermented sausages made from beef and fallow deer meat. Five formulations of sausages from each species were made. The results show that processing time and species of meat were the high significant factor on tested parameters. Variants and interactions between main factors influenced at different levels of significance on some tested attributes. At the end of processing fallow deer sausages were characterised by the lower pH (4.79 ± 0.01-4.90 ± 0.02 for fallow deer and 5.04 ± 0.00-5.25 ± 0.03 for beef sausages) and the content of 2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (1.54 ± 0.09-2.81 ± 0.23 and 1.64 ± 0.15-5.06 ± 0.25 respectively) than sausages made from beef meat. In conclusion, the addition of freeze-dried acid whey in varying amounts did not significantly affect the physicochemical characteristics of sausages from both fallow deer and beef. However, further research is needed to compare the effect of acid whey on the nutritional values of raw fermented sausages from fallow deer and beef.

Abstract
Acid whey, a byproduct in cheese and yogurt production, demands high costs in disposal at large quantities. Nonetheless, it contains abundant sugars and nutrients that can potentially be utilized by microorganisms. Here we report a novel platform technology that converts acid whey into value-added products using Yarrowia lipolytica. Since wild type strains do not assimilate lactose, a major carbon source in whey, a secreted β-galactosidase was introduced. Additionally, to accelerate galactose metabolism, we overexpressed the relevant native four genes of the Leloir pathway. The engineered strain could achieve rapid total conversion of all carbon sources in acid whey, producing 6.61 g/L of fatty acids (FAs) with a yield of 0.146 g-FAs/g-substrates. Further engineering to introduce an omega-3 desaturase enabled the synthesis of α-linolenic acid from acid whey, producing 10.5 mg/gDCW within a short fermentation time. Finally, PEX10 knockout in our platform strain was shown to minimize hyphal formation in concentrated acid whey cultures, greatly improving fatty acid content. These results demonstrate the feasibility of using acid whey as a previously untapped resource for biotechnology.

Abstract
Organic beef was dry fermented in sea salt (C) or acid whey (W). In order to test the effect of ultrasound, the W sample was subjected to sonication (U10) in an ultrasonic bath (10 min, 40 kHz, 480 W). The effect of sonication on fatty acid (FA) composition (%) and atherogenicity, thrombogenicity, hypocholesterolemic/hypercholesterolemic, peroxidistability indexes (AI, TI, h/H, and PI, respectively), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) value, and color parameters were investigated during ripening period (31, 62, and 93 days). The 10 min sonication did not have influence on AI, TI, and h/H indexes compared with C sample. However, we observed healthy improvements of AI (P < 0.05), TI (P < 0.01), h/H (P < 0.001), and PI (P < 0.001) indexes in W sample. Nevertheless, U10 fermented beef showed the lowest redness parameter in 93 day of ripening. The processes of lipid oxidation were found to be accelerated by the US treatment, however only after 31 days of ripening.

Abstract
Two types of diet - standard and atherogenic - were used to study the effect of wheat or wheat-rye breads supplemented with 20 % acid whey concentrate after ultrafiltration on the physiological response of growing rats. The acid whey concentrate after ultrafiltration used in rat diets caused reduced weight gain (for atherogenic diet with wheat bread); growth of caecum tissue and digesta weight; a decrease in the pH of caecum digesta (for atherogenic diet); reduced activity of bacterial glycolytic enzymes; and a significant increase in total SCFA for both types of diet with wheat-rye breads containing acid whey concentrate. For wheat bread with acid whey, in standard diet, a statistically significant increase was found in the population of bifidobacteria. The results showed that the acid whey concentrates could be used as a valuable food ingredient.

Abstract
Physical properties of lactose appeared influenced by presence of lactic acid in the system. Some other components such as Ca may further attenuate lactose behaviour and impact its phase transition. A model-based study was thus implemented with varying concentrations of Ca (0·12, 0·072 or 0·035% w/w) and lactic acid (0·05, 0·2, 0·4 or 1% w/w) in establishing the effects of these two main acid whey constituents on lactose phase behaviour. Concentrated solutions (50% w/w) containing lactose, lactic acid and Ca were analysed for thermal behaviour and structural changes by Differential Scanning Colorimetry (DSC) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), respectively. Presence of 1% (w/w) lactic acid and 0·12% (w/w) Ca in lactose solution significantly increased the evaporation enthalpy of water, delayed and increased the energy required for lactose crystallisation as compared to pure lactose. FTIR analysis indicated a strong hydration layer surrounding lactose molecules, restricting water mobility and/or inducing structural changes of lactose, hindering its crystallisation. The formation of calcium lactate, which restricts the diffusion of lactose molecules, is also partly responsible. It appears that Ca removal from acid whey may be a necessary step in improving the processability of acid whey.
