Effect of Galaeto-Oligosaccharide and Isomalto-Oligosaccharide on Growth of Selected Probiotics

Abstract:

Effect of Galaeto-oligosaccharide (GOS) and Isomalto-oligosaccharide (IMO) on growth of Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium longum and L. rhamnosus was studied. The addition of each substance (w/v) was 0.0%, 0.1%, 0.5%, 1.0% 1.5% and 2.0%.The methods were analyzed titratable acidity (°T), pH and enumeration that using reconstituted skim goat milk media as the control. All samples were incubated at 37 C for 18h. Results were as follows: addition of GOS has the significant inhibition on the growth of L. acidophilus and promotion on the growth of L. rhamnosus, while the effect on the growth of B. longum was not obviously. Addition of IMO could promote the growth of L. acidophilus, especially in low level. The growth of B. longum was increased with increase in IMO. While the effect on the growth of L. rhamnosus by adding IMO was inhibited and obviously in the high concentration.
