Simulated digestive juice tolerance and effect on cecal organic acids of mice of Lactobacillus paracasei NFRI 7415

Abstract

We examined the simulated digestive juice tolerance and effect on cecal organic acids of mice of Lactobacillus paracasei NFRI 7415, evaluating it with in vitro and in vivo assay systems and using Lactobacillus casei for comparison. In in vitro assays, the cholesterol adsorption rate of L.casei and L.paracasei were 39 ． 4% and 50 ． 9%, respectively, and bile acid adsorption rates 33 ． 8% and 40 ． 9%.
