Abstract :
Probiotics are live microorganisms promoted
with claims that they provide health benefits when
consumed, generally by improving or restoring the gut
flora. Probiotics are considered generally safe to consume.
Bifidobacteria that predominate in guts of babies
consuming mother’s milk maintain good health compared
to bottle fed babies. The guts of milk formula consuming
babies suffer from gastro-intestinal disturbances due to
delayed establishment of of bifdobacteria. Mother’s milk
contain bifdogenic factors that support bifidobacteria in
the intestine of babies. But those babies who lack the
facility of mother’s milk due to various reasons need an
alternative to combat the enteric pathogens and increase
population of bifidobacteria. This can be achieved by
incorporating viable large numbers of bifidobacteria
obtained through solid state fermentation on sterile black
gram dhal with additives like moisture and skim milk
powder. An attempt has been made in this study by
incorporating the dired form of cultured balck gram dhal
powdered to baby foods suh as Lactogen I, II & cerelac
with determination of viability during room temperature
storage. Initial count of 9.00 log viable count on an average
of Bifidobacterium longum F51, PF1; B.adolescentis F35
and B.bifidum S26 reduced to 6.50 at the end of 6 months
of storage at 300C. Consumption of such baby foods may
help babies lacking mother’s milk to maintain balance of
bifidobacteria thus promising the wellness of the gut free
from intestinal disturbances caused by enteric pathogens.
