چکیده

Received 24 April 2012; Accepted 7 November 2012 ABSTRACT: The “Encyclopedia of Fermented Fresh Milk” has classified Acidophilus and Bifidus milks as Non-traditional fermented milk products. These products contain Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium spp., respectively, that are known as probiotic microoganisms. In this study, some aspects of acidity development, pH measurement and bacterial counts were monitored when these micro-organisms were grown in milk. The starter cultures of L. acidophilus La-5 and Bifidobacterium lactis Bb-12, obtained from Chr. Hansen in Denmark, were each inoculated at the rate of 0.01 g 100 ml in UHT milk and incubated at 37oC for a duration of 5 h (Acidophilus and Bifidus milks). The same procedure was carried out with the same inoculation rates of two mentioned starters as mixed culture (Acidobifidus milk). The titratable acidity measurements and pH values of the single strains fermented milks were similar, but the sour taste of Acido-bifidus milk of the mixed starter culture was more tangible when compared with the two other fermented products. From the limited data available, it was evident from the preliminary studies that the growth of B. lactis in mixed cultures was better as compared to the single strain, and it is suggested that a lower inoculum rate of starter cultures or shorter fermentation period might be recommended for the development of Acido-bifidus milk.

Functional cultures and health benefits

A number of health benefits have been claimed for probiotic bacteria such as Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium spp., and L. casei. These benefits include antimutagenic effects, anticarcinogenic properties, improvement in lactose metabolism, reduction in serum cholesterol, and immune system stimulation. Because of the potential health benefits, these organisms are increasingly being inc...

The effect of fatty acids on the growth of strains of Lactobacillus bifidus.

The explanation for the preponderance of Lactobacillus bi&hs in the intestine of infants being fed human milk has been sought in a number of investigations. Such studies have been hampered by difficulties encountered in isolating strains of the organism. It has been a common experience that organisms that are bifid on primary isolation soon change, presumably by either selection or mutation, to...

The Value of Certain Tests in the Differentiation of Lactobacillus bulgaricus from Lactobacillus acidophilus.

At the 1920 meeting of the Society of American Bacteriologists a paper, published only in abstract form (Sherman, 1921), presented some characteristics of Lactobacillus bulgaricus, differentiating this organism from certain other lactobacilli. Eighteen cultures of Lactobacillus bulgaricus were then studied; a number of Lactobacillus casei; a few cultures from feces, assumed to belong to the Lac...

Interrelationships between ribose and desoxyribose components of nucleic acids.

LactobaciUus bifidus (Lactobacilus acidophilus ATCC 4963) was previously reported (Skeggs et al., 1949) to require for growth, in an otherwise complete medium, either vitamin B12, thymine desoxyriboside, or intact desoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). The growth of L. bidus in the presence of DNA was found (Skeggs et al., 1950)1 to be inhibited competitively by yeast ribonucleic acid (RNA). Subsequent ...
