The objective was to evaluate the technological processing (protection strategies and storage conditions) influence on viability, probiotic properties adsorbent aflatoxin B1 capacity of S. boulardii RC009. Also, yeast biological safety evaluated. Lyophilisation (DL) encapsulation ​+ ​lyophilisation (EL) were conducted. Yeast protected with maltodextrin (M) or WPC stored at 4 ​°C reduced 1 2 log...

Probiotics are viable defined microorganisms (bacteria or yeasts) that exert a beneficial effect on the health of the host when ingested in adequate amounts. Screening for such biotherapeutic agents is commonly performed by in vitro assays simulating gastrointestinal environment to determine the ability to survive in the digestive tract. In the present study, the possibility of extrapolation of...

A probiotic can be defined as a live, non-pathogenic microbial supplement that exerts a positive influence on the health or physiology of the host [1, 2]. Probiotics consist of either bacteria, especially lactic acid bacteria, or yeast. Probiotics have mainly been used for gastrointestinal and vaginal diseases [3]. The effects of probiotics are thought to be related to direct enzymatic effects ...

intestinal amebiasis has a worldwide distribution and is common in tropical and subtropical areas. [n this prospective 7-month study, we studied the main clinical findings in patients with acute amebic proctocolitis and the efficacy of saccharomyces boulardii (sb) treatment of these patients.initially, 57 cases with acute amebic proctocolitis were selected. the maximum occurrence of infection w...
