There has been an increased application of exopolysaccharide (EPS)-producing lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in fermented dairy products, but interactions between EPS and casein (CAS), and bioactivities of their complex are poorly studied. In this study, EPS produced by Lactobacillus plantarum YW11 (EPS-YW11) was studied for interactions with CAS in a simulated fermentation system acidified by D-(+)-gluconic acid δ-lactone. The results showed that there was interaction between EPS-YW11 and CAS when EPS (up to 1%, w/v) was added to the casein solution (3%, w/v) as observed with increased viscoelasticity, water holding capacity, ζ-potential and particle size of EPS-YW11/CAS complex compared with CAS alone. Microstructural analysis showed that a higher concentration of EPS facilitated more even distribution of CAS particles that were connected through the polysaccharide chains. Infrared spectroscopy further confirmed interactions between EPS and CAS by intermolecular hydrogen bonding, electrostatic and hydrophobic contacts. Further evaluation of the bioactivities of EPS-YW11/CAS complex revealed significantly increased antibiofilm, antioxidation, and bile acids binding capacity. The present study provides further understanding on the mechanism of interactions between EPS produced by LAB and CAS, which would benefit potential applications of EPS in fermented dairy products with enhanced functionality.
