Starter compositions for baby cultured milk products with high level of proteolytic properties

Abstract

The paper gives the results of selecting the adapted to milk bifidobacteria monocultures and lactic acid bacteria concentrates of direct application with high level of proteolytic properties for creating starter compositions of mixed lacto- and bifidobacteria cultures, intended for producing baby cultured milk products. It is shown that combining the use of mixed cultures of bifidobacteria and mesophilic lactic lactococci with high level of proteolytic properties in the content of starter compositions, it is possible to produce cheese and fermented milk drinks for baby nutrition with hypoallergenic properties. The combination of bacterial concentrates of Lbc. Acidophilus monocultures of direct application with mixed cultures of bifidobacteria allows obtaining the compositions for producing fermented milk drinks for babies with reduced allergenic effects on babies’ body. Starter compositions of monocultures/mixed cultures of bifidobacteria, bacterial concentrates of Lbc. Acidophilus monocultures of direct application and mesophilic lactic lactococci with high level of proteolytic properties can be used in biotechnology of producing protein pastes for babies with hypoallergenic properties.
