Probiotics are live microorganisms which, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host. Traditionally, dairy products major and most popular probiotic carriers. At present, there is growing demand for non-dairy products. Both fermented non-fermented plant-based food becoming highly appealing to both consumers worldwide. Non-dairy matrices such as fruits, vegetables...

or VSL#3 [5–8] . The latter contains 8 different strains of lactobacillae and bifidobacteriae. E. coli Nissle is probably the best explored probiotic preparation for the treatment of UC patients [9] . Other bacterial species are less well explored. In addition, the combination of a probiotic together with a prebiotic substance (a so-called symbiotic preparation) has rarely been studied [10] . T...

Despite the crucial roles of duodenal cytochrome b (Dcytb), divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1), ferritin light chain (Ftl1), ferroportin 1 (FPN1), transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1), and hepcidin antimicrobial peptide (Hamp) in Fe metabolism, no studies have investigated the modulations of these genes during Fe repletion with fermented milks. Analysis included Fe status markers and gene and protein...

Litter material was obtained from broiler birds, reared on chaffed straws of wheat (T1 to T4) and paddy (T5 to T8) at floor spaces of 0.15sq.m/bird (T1, T2, T5 & T6) and 0.18sq.m/bird (T3, T4, T7 & T8). The litter material was then mixed with 10% molasses (DMB).The treatment groups (T2, T4, T6 & T8) were inoculated by 1% (v/w) fermented milk on fresh weight basis whereas control groups (T1, T3,...

To demonstrate the gastrointestinal survival of Lactobacillus casei strain Shirota (LcS) in healthy Vietnamese adults, a fermented milk drink containing LcS was administered daily for 14 days. Twenty-six healthy Vietnamese adults took part in the study. Each participant consumed 65 mL of a fermented milk drink containing LcS daily for 14 days. The drink contained a dose of 10 8 CFU/mL LcS. Feca...

Worldwide popularity of probiotic- microorganisms and their products on the one hand, and their general weak viability in food products (especially fermented types) as well as gastrointestinal conditions on the other hand, has encouraged researchers to innovate different methods of probiotics viability improvement.  Microencapsulation of the probiotic cells is one of the newest and highly effic...

INTRODUCTION Even with the ultimate medical management, more than one-third of diabetic patients develop diabetic nephropathy. To our knowledge, there is no study that has examined the effect of probiotic soy milk on kidney function in type 2 diabetic patients with nephropathy. This clinical trial aimed to assess the effects of consumption of probiotic soy milk, compared with conventional soy m...

Four Enterococcus faecium strains isolated from fermented products were evaluated for potential use as probiotic strains. In addition to efaAfm gene, commonly found in E. faecium food isolates, none of the isolates possessed virulence genes and none had positive reactions for the production of tyramine, histamine, putrescine and cadaverine in the screening medium used. All of these four isolate...

The purpose of this article is to determine the content lactic acid bacteria in a probiotic beverage (Yakult) with starter fermentation Lactobacillus casei Shirota strain and find out its benefits for digestion. In study, library research method was used by obtaining data materials from journals. author tries describe “L. strain” Yakult digestive system. results showed that levels L. fermented ...
