Release Time:

2024-10-30

The patented bacterial strain Lactobacillus mucosus GRX08 can be incorporated into a wide range of food products, including beverages, yogurts, snacks, and dietary fibers, thereby endowing these products with more reliable functional benefits.

Lactobacillus fermentum GRX08 Life Line

Lactobacillus fermentum GRX08, a patented strain of lactic acid bacterium with lipid‑lowering properties, has already made significant strides in the research arena. Let’s take a look back at the key milestones in the scientific study of Lactobacillus fermentum GRX08!

In 2003, Professor Gu Ruixia’s team at Yangzhou University collected a strain of Lactobacillus fermentum grx08 from the gut microbiota of long-lived elderly residents in Rugao, Jiangsu. After years of systematic research and practical application, this unique lactic acid bacterium has demonstrated distinctive biological functions.

In 2013, After 10 years of research and testing, Professor Gu’s team filed a patent titled “Lactobacillus fermentum GRX08 with Auxiliary Lipid-Lowering Activity and Its Applications,” which has attracted widespread attention within the scientific community. Following years of systematic research and practical application, this unique lactic acid bacterial strain has demonstrated distinctive biological functions.

 

In 2014, Subsequently, in 2014, the patent was successfully granted, marking a new phase in the research on Lactobacillus fermentum GRX08.

In the years that followed, research on Lactobacillus fermentum GRX08 continued to make new advances.

 

In 2017, An article was published on the impact of vacuum freeze-drying on the fermentation stability of GRX08, laying an experimental foundation for the strain’s practical applications.

In 2019, A series of research findings have been successively published, including studies on the mechanisms by which Lactobacillus fermentum GRX08 assists in lowering blood lipids, investigations into the fermentation conditions for multi-strain probiotics, and analyses of the effects of single- and mixed‑strain lactic acid bacteria‑fermented milk on lipid metabolism in rats with hyperlipidemia, thereby opening up new avenues for the application of this strain.

In 2021, Over time, research on the fermentative mucin‑degrading Lactobacillus grx08 has steadily deepened. In 2021, Shanghai Haoyue entered into a technology‑development contract with Yangzhou University, opening up additional commercial opportunities for this strain and injecting fresh vitality into the traditional dairy industry.

 

Since 2022, Research on the fermented mucin‑degrading Lactobacillus grx08, focusing on its antioxidant, anti‑obesity, and metabolic‑profile‑related properties, has been steadily published. These findings not only deepen our understanding of this strain but also open up new avenues for exploring its potential applications.
