Prebiotics such as resistant starch can be included with probiotics to increase their survival during processing. In this study lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from several sources (yoghurt, banana, and human breast milk) were screened for their probiotic properties. Ten species of bacteria overcame the stress to pH 3 and 0.3% bile. The adhesion properties of these LABs to resistant rice starch (RRS) were investigated. All 10 species of bacteria adhered to RRS within 60 min of exposure. Isolates Bn1 and HM2 were highly adhered to RRS with a total of 79% and 77% of the cells adhering, respectively. Moderate adherent
