Descripción
Demand for non-dairy products with probiotics has increased for health or lifestyle reasons. The market is very promising and companies from different sectors of the food industry have sought applications of probiotics in plant products. However, the need to adapt cultures to processing steps and to the intrinsic characteristics of plant matrices has limited these applications. The availability of probiotic cultures of national origin with these attributes and lower cost can favor the production and, therefore, the consumption of functional foods, beneficial to the health of the consumer. Embrapa counts the strain L. plantarum B12 selected and characterized in previous projects based on properties associated with probiotic functionality. Probiotics are living microorganisms that, when administered in adequate quantities, provide health benefits to the host (FAO/WHO, 2001). In this work, the mentioned strain was produced in a medium containing coconut water supplemented or not with other sources of nitrogen.
