Assessment of Physico-chemical Characteristics, Viability and Inhibitory Effect of Bifidobacteria in Soymilk

Abstract:

The study investigated viability of Bifidobacteria isolates from breast-fed infants in soymilk with the aim of producing a beverage with health- improving potentials from an affordable source.

Strains of Bifidobacteria spp isolated from breast-fed babies were identified on the basis of morphological and biochemical characteristics. The pure isolates were inoculated into sterile soymilk and their viability was studied at ambient (28 ± 2oC) and refrigeration temperatures (4… Show more

“…The chemical composition within the probiotic product was virtually insignificant ( P > 0.05), whereas in comparison to plain soy‐curd there was considerable variations. Earlier report also mentions an improved protein content of soy‐curd due to fermentation and has suggested that the reason may be due to multiplication of microbial cells that contributes to protein content (Ebhodaghe and others ).…”

“…(2012) evidenced inhibitory effects of soymilk fermented with Bi dobacterium longum against E. coli and S. aureus. The antimicrobial activity against pathogens exhibited by the fermented beverages could be attributed either to the presence of organic acids (e.g., lactic acid, acetic acid) produced by the strains (Ebhodaghe et al 2012) and also to bioactive peptides produced during soymilk fermentation (Singh et al 2015).…”

“…Osundahunsi et al (2007) also determined the quality and consumer acceptability of soy-yoghurt with different colours and fruit flavours. 10.2478/aucft-2019-0018 of african yam bean, soybean and coconut milk analogues Ebhodaghe et al (2012) determined the viability, physico-chemical characteristics and inhibitory effect of Bifidobacteria in soymilk. These studies were limited to nutritional and effects of these probiotic drinks in vitro.…”
