Abstract

In order to develop the Vegetarian probiotic products without any animal-derived ingredient,the growth of Bifidobacterium lactis,Lactobacillus acidophilus,Lactobacillus plantarum,Lactobacillu bulgaricus in six kinds of vegetable juices(bean,shiitake,tomato,cucumber,carrot,cabbage)was investigated.It was found that all the four species of lactic acid bacteria could normally grow in the sterilized vegetarian juices without nutrient supplementation.The mixed vegetarian juice was more suitable for lactic acid bacteria than the sole vegetarian juice.Bifidobacterium lactis,Lactobacillus plantarum,Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Lactobacillus acidophilus mostly adapt to tomato and cucumber mixed juice,cabbage and cucumber mixed juice,cabbage and tomato mixed juice and bean and cucumber mixed juice,respectively.The survivals of Lactic acid bacteria which grew in different mixed vegetable juice were all above 106 CFU/mL after they were stored in refrigerator for two weeks.The different vegetable juices were mixed to make a plant media for Lactic acid bacteria,so as to satisfy the nutritional need of vegetarian.
