Process for enhancing the viable counts of lactic acid bacteria and useful compositions thereof
The present invention disclosed herein describes (i) the growth promotional activity of natural plant based fibres on Bacillus coagulans MTCC 5856; (ii) the combination of natural plant based fibres and Bacillus coagulans MTCC 5856 to inhibit Gram Negative pathogenic bacteria and (iii) the production of short chain fatty acids (SCFA) by Bacillus coagulans MTCC 5856 using plant based natural fibres.
1. A method of increasing the viable colony count of Bacillus coagulans MTCC 5856 said method comprising a step of growing Bacillus coagulans MTCC 5856 in the presence of natural plant fibres, wherein said natural plant fibres comprises Vaccinium oxycoccos (Cranberry) seed fibres thereby increasing the viable colony count of Bacillus coagulans MTCC 5856.
