Probiotic Pineapple Juice Development

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Two Lactobacillus isolates viz. Lactobacillus plantarum DSM 10492 and Lactobacillus fermentum DSM 20052 were collected from the Deutsche Sammlung von Mikroorganismen und Zellkulturen GmbH, Germany. Both lactobacillus cultures were kept at -20 °C in MRS medium (Merck, Germany) containing 20 % glycerol. Before probiotic juice preparation, these isolates were selected after performing different potential probiotic confirmation tests like: NaCl tolerance test (1-8 %), pH (2.5 to 6.5) and bile salt tolerance test (0.05-0.25 %) as well as antimicrobial, antibiotic susceptibility and growth test at stressful mixed (low pH, high bile and NaCl) conditions and used for probiotic pineapple fruit juices development.

Microencapsulation of Probiotic Bacteria

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Five different strains of probiotic or potentially probiotic bacteria were used in the microencapsulation process: Lactobacillus casei Shirota, Lactococcus lactis ATCC1, Lactobacillus fermentum (all from the Department of Fermentation and Biosynthesis, Poznań University of Life Sciences), Bifidobacterium bifidum DSM 20456, and Bifidobacterium bifidum DSM 20082 (both from the Deutsche Sammlung von Mikroorganismen und Zellkulturen).
MRS medium broth (Oxoid, England) (1.0% peptone, 1.0% beef extract, 0.4% yeast extract, 2.0% glucose, 0.5% sodium acetate trihydrate, 0.1% Tween 80, 0.2% dipotassium hydrogen phosphate, 0.2% triammonium citrate, 0.02% magnesium sulfate heptahydrate, and 0.005% manganese sulfate tetrahydrate) was used to culture the probiotic microorganisms.
The addition of lactobionic acid stimulated the growth of the culture, as was clearly evidenced by the growth curve for each culture with the varying LBA additions (Table 1) [22 (link)].

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
