Background The role of probiotics in prevention of allergic disease is still unclear; efficacy may depend on the timing, dose, duration and specific probiotic used. Using a double blind randomized placebo-controlled trial (Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry: ACTRN12607000518460), we have shown that in a high risk birth cohort, maternal supplementation from 35 weeks gestation until ...

The source is a supplement "Iodis-concentrate", amount in relation to WHO. leavening culture was sourdough TM "Vivo" yogurt. Bacte...

Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases seriously harm human health, and Bifidobacterium is the most beneficial probiotic in the gastrointestinal tract of humans. This work aimed to screen cholesterol-lowering Bifidobacterium from Guizhou Xiang Pig and evaluate its tolerance to oxygen, acid, and bile. Twenty-seven aerotolerant strains with similar colony to Bifidobacterium were isolated thr...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess the antimicrobial susceptibility of a taxonomically diverse set of Bifidobacterium strains to different classes of antimicrobial agents using a recently described medium. METHODS The susceptibility of 100 strains encompassing 11 bifidobacterial species originating from humans, animals and probiotic products to 12 antimicrobial agents was tested b...

AIM To develop in vitro assays for comparing the antagonistic properties and anti-oxidative activity of probiotic Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium strains against various entero- and urinary pathogens. METHODS AND RESULTS The antagonistic activity of five probiotic lactobacilli (Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG, Lactobacillus fermentum ME-3, Lactobacillus acidophilus La5, Lactobacillus plantarum 2...

In this study, the effects of fermentation kinetics, determination number lactic acid bacteria, texture, water holding capacity, and color fermented soy beverages with acai powder (3 6% w/v) were investigated. The addition significantly influenced kinetics based on changes in pH, accelerating initial period. results showed that additive did not affect enumeration Lactobacillus acidophilus Bifid...

The developed mathematical model allows good prediction of the quantity heat saved based on applied technological parameters. process distribution amino acids between whey and protein clot was studied during thermoacid coagulation milk fermented by a consortium bifidobacteria Lactococcus lactis subsp. diacetilactis, Streptococcus thermophiles, Propionibacterium freudenreichii, Bifidobacterium b...

Fortifying yoghurt or dairy products with fibres and probiotic bacteria is an increasing interest to create functional foods health benefits improve their functionality. In this study milk fermented acacia exudate gum black carrot (Daucus carota L. ssp. sativus var. atrorubens alef) pulp components had a significantly shorter fermentation time than the others in Streptococcus thermophilus, Lact...

The gut microbiota is an important contributor to the worldwide prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS), which includes obesity and diabetes. The anti-MS effects exerted by Bifidobacterium animalis ssp. lactis GCL2505 (BlaG), a highly proliferative Bifidobacterium strain in the gut, and B. longum ssp. longum JCM1217T (BloJ) were comparatively examined. BlaG treatment reduced visceral fat accumula...
