Abstract
Dehydration is one of the oldest methods of food preservation and represents a crucial aspect of food processing. In this study, less studied probiotic Bacillus was formulated into a non-dairy food product, and the analysis was assessed by supplementing probiotic Bacillus licheniformis MTCC 2541 into carrot shreds, and it was dried at 60 °C. The moisture was brought to 8–10% and water activity was about 0.639 ± 0.001aw and 0.473 ± 0.005aw for probiotic-infused osmo-dried carrot shreds (PIODCS) and unblanched dried carrot shreds (UDCS), respectively. A total phenol decrease of 48.71 mg/ GAE was observed in PIODCS compared to UDCS. Chlorogenic acid and the other five major polyphenols were detected in both dried samples. The α-carotene in PIODCS was detected at about 0.339 ± 0.0 mg/mg extract and UDCS was 0.565 ± 0.0 mg/mg extract. The viability of Bacillus was retained in all three storage conditions after 20 weeks about 7.23 ± 0.02, 6.81 ± 0.07, and 6.58 ± 0.03 log CFU on -20 ℃, 4 ℃, and R.T condition, respectively. Probiotic-infused car- rot shreds have also shown considerable antimicrobial activity against food pathogens. The data obtained from this study suggest that B. licheniformis has excellent viable stability when supplemented with an osmo-dried carrot.
