Abstract:

In order to obtain a tri-lactobacillus that is easy to colonize in vivo and has strong ability of lowering cholesterol and anti-oxidation,three strains of Lactobacillus casei S1,Enterococcus faecium S4 and Lactobacillus harbinensis S6 were used to form tri-lactobacillus. The artificial gastrointestinal tolerance,cholesterol-lowering ability,yield of γ-aminobutyric acid(GABA),and antioxidant activity of tri-lactobacillus were investigated. The results showed that the survival rate of tri-lactobacillus was 47.88% and the number of viable bacteria was 1.25×109CFU/mL after 24 h of treatment with artificial gastric intestinal fluid. The total cholesterol removal rate,specific activity of bile salt hydrolase and GABA yield were 73.43%,151.40 U/mg and 1.387 mg/mL,respectively;and the reducing power,superoxide radical clearance rate and hydroxyl radical clearance were 1.52,95.68% and 89.93%,respectively. It was significantly higher than the control group(P < 0.01). The tolerance of tri-lactobacillus to artificial gastric and intestinal fluid is strong,and it has strong ability of lowering cholesterol and anti-oxidation,thus it can be further developed as functional microecological preparation or health care product.

Key words: tri-lactobacillus, tolerance of artificial gastric intestinal fluid, cholesterol lowering, γ-aminobutyric acid;, antioxidant activity
