Abstract

Probiotics may be defined as a mono or mixed culture of live microorganisms that applied to man or animal affects beneficially the host by improving the properties of the indigenous microflora [1]. They confer many healthy benefits upon consumption such as suppressing the growth of pathogens, reducing the risk of cancer formation and reducing the serum cholesterol levels of the host [2,3]. Other reported therapeutic or nutritional values of probiotic bacteria include improvement of lactose digestion and immune system as well as ability to synthesize various vitamins and enhancement of bioavailability of many minerals to the host.
