Abstract

The objective of this study was to establish suitable combinations of selected probiotics and nutraceuticals. Interactions among 24 probiotic strains were investigated, and the effect of a blend of isoflavones and phytosterols on viability of single and mixed probiotic strains under incubation and refrigeration storage in milk was assessed. Upon incubation, counts of single strains increased by 7–15 times, while mixed strains showed slight insignificant decrease. Both single and mixed probiotic strains retained high counts (>log 8) throughout refrigeration storage. Eight probiotic strains showed nil or very weak interactions. Results revealed the possibility of developing novel multibenefits synbiotic products using combinations of these probiotic strains and nutraceuticals.
