Studies on Growth Effects of Catechin on Probiotic Bacteria
Kavitha Kottol, Sudha. P A. Reni
Abstract :
Tea is rich in polyphenols and other phenolics that have been widely reported to have beneficial health effects. However, dietary polyphenols are not completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and are metabolized by the gut micro flora so that they and their metabolites may accumulate to exert physiological effects. This study is focussed on the effect of tea catechins in probiotics bacterium Lactobacillus acidophilus culture. The green tea catechin is extracted and isolated by using solvent extraction method, the percentage of concentration of catechin was optimized as 1% because maximum growth of probiotic bacterium is observed in that concentration and the bacterial concentration was optimized as 9.0-10.0 log 10 cfu/ml based on IDF standards.
