Abstract

Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium lactis and yoghurt cultures, Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus delbrueckii subp bulgaricus were cultured in skim milk with 1%, 3% and 5% honey. Samples were incubated at 37oC, 48 hours. Samples were collected at 6 hour intervals and examined for growth and pH. Besides, twelve percent nonfat dry milk containing 5% honey, 5% inulin and 5% raftilose were pasteurized and inoculated with Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium lactis and yoghurt cultures, Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus delbrueckii subp bulgaricus. The samples were collected at 6 hour intervals and examined for growth and pH. Growth and changes in physiochemical of each strain was also assessed after 8 hours of fermentation in the presence of above prebiotics and honey. The effect of honey increased with increasing concentration and was maximal at 5%. Growth of each strain was enhanced when they were grown in the presence of raftilose followed in a descending order by inulin and honey
