introduction: the interest in probiotic products have been increased recently by the consumers. milk and dairy products are natural sources of b group vitamins in the human diet. this study was carried out in order to investigate the level of riboflavin (vitamin b2) and niacin (vitamin b3) in probiotic yogurt and the results were compared with the traditional yogurt during refrigerated storage....

Background: Yogurt is one of the most popular food diets with refreshing taste, nutritional, and health benefits. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of three herbal Essential Oils (EOs) including peppermint, basil, and zataria on viability of the probiotic bacteria in yogurt samples and to evaluate the antimicrobial activities of the produced probiotic yogurts against Esc...

Two probiotic bacteria (Lb. acidophilus and B. lactis) were immobilized on the alginate coat of strawberry pieces and were added to the prepared sweet non fat dietary stirred yogurt. Physico-chemical parameters namely pH value, titratable acidity and synersis along with the viability of probiotic bacteria of the samples were evaluated over the 8 days of storage at 5 ºC at 2 day intervals. A sig...

BACKGROUND To determine the effects of probiotic yogurt on performance and health status of young adultfemale endurance swimmers. METHODS In a randomized controlled trial, 46 endurance swimmers girls with mean age of 13.8 ±1.8 years,weight of 48.6±7.5kg and height of 159±5.6cm, were studied. Subjects were randomly assigned into two groups,receiving either 400 ml probiotic yogurt (intervention...

In this study, we investigated the multifunctionality (microbial starters and probiotics) of Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1 and Lactobacillus plantarum CECT 8328 strains used as microbial starters for the production of yogurt in combination with Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus. The ability of the probiotic strains to survive oro-gastrointestinal stresses ...

Probiotic bacteria in plain yogurt namely of Lactobacillus ssp. have been reported to treat thrush, diarrhea, athlete’s foot, jock itch and vaginal yeast infections. Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgarius (LB-12) and Streptococcus thermophilus (ST-M5) are lactic acid bacteria widely used in the manufacture of yogurt. Alcohol is used in manufacture of some medications such as cough syrups and ...

A molecular method for efficient and accurate detection and identification of two potential probiotic lactobacilli strains isolated from fermented olives, namely Lactobacillus pentosus B281 and Lb. plantarum B282, was developed in the present study. Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis was performed, and strain specific primers were designed and applied in a multiplex polymerase cha...

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an irregular response of immune system accompanied with different inflammatory manifestations including alterations in cytokines. Probiotics are non-pathogenic organisms with probable effects in various conditions such as inflammation. The present study hypothesized whether oral intake of bifidobacterium and lactobacillus in form of probiotic yogurt may repre...
