Abstract
Abstract Consumption of acidophilus milk products as a dietary adjunct is considered to impart many health benefits. These include (i) control of intestinal infections, (ii) stabilization of intestinal micro‐flora, (iii) control of serum cholesterol level, (iv) prevention of colon cancer, and (v) enhanced availability of nutrients. However, L. acidophilus grows slowly in milk, which results in overgrowth of other microorganisms present. Hence, acidophilus milk products are characterized by an unpleasant flavor and are not acceptable as a normal component of diet. Attempts have, therefore, been made to manufacture acceptable acidophilus milk products possessing wider consumer appeal. The manufacturing and therapeutical aspects of acidophilus milk products are discussed in this review.
