Abstract

In vitro evaluation of the lactic acid bacteria isolated from Kanjika was studied. The study indicates that the isolate K3a (L delbrueckii) exhibits potential probiotic properties. Other isolates like K1a (L curvatus) and K23c (L. coryniformis) also exhibited major probiotic properties but were found to be susceptible to 3 antibiotics, which is not desirable. Isolate K4a showed promising probiotic properties except cholesterol assimilation. It has been possible to isolate lactic acid bacteria exhibiting a profound degree of probiotic properties such as acid tolerance, bile salt tolerance, antimicrobial activity against food borne pathogens, β-galactosidase activity, antibiotic susceptibility and cholesterol assimilation from Ayurvedic fermented products.
