This study evaluated that effect of prebiotic food containing oligosaccharide to enhance the growth and activity of probiotic strains. Barley grains probioticated using different strains of probiotics are Lactobacillus kefiranofaciens, Candida kefir,and saccharomyces boluradii. To select a suitable prebiotics like inulin for the development of Synbiotic barley and tested for antibacterial activ...

background :  kefir contains lactic acid bacteria ( lactobacillus , lactococcus , leuconostoc , acetobacter and streptococcus ) and yeasts ( kluyveromyces , torula , candida , and saccharomyces ). kefiran is the polysaccharide produced by lactic acid bacteria in kefir.   methods :  kefiran was prepared from milk containing 0.5% fat and 10 grams kefir grains and was separated from kefir by ethan...

Tibetan kefir grains (TKGs), a kind of natural starter for fermented milk in Tibet, China, host various microorganisms of lactic acid bacteria, yeasts, and occasionally acetic acid bacteria in a polysaccharide/protein matrix. In the present study, the fine structure of TKGs was studied to shed light on this unusual symbiosis with stereomicroscopy and thin sections. The results reveal that TKGs ...

Kefir has attracted interest in the scientific community due to its beneficial properties, such as: improving digestion, antimicrobial action, hypocholesterolemic, antihypertensive, and anti-inflammatory effects, control of plasma glucose levels, antioxidant, anticarcinogenic, antiallergic activity. The comparative characteristics microbiomes kefir grains (KG) obtained from regions their histor...

kefiran is an exogenous microbial metabolite produced mainly by bacteria and fungi during growth. the present study investigated the effects of the addition of 3% kefiran and 3% xanthan on the extensographic characteristics of wheat dough and the shelf life of raised bread. kefir grain was cultivated in a shaking incubator and kefiran extraction was carried using a centrifugal refrigerator. the...

Aim: Kefir is a probiotic/prebiotic drink with an exotic flavor, which has been traditionally produced fermented milk and kefir grains containing mixture of bacteria yeast. Cyclophosphamide (CPx), are generally limited due to numerous unwanted severe acute toxic side-effects. For this purpose, the cell-protective effects kefir, natural probiotic known for its antitumor antioxidant properties, o...
