A variety of microorganisms, typically food
grade lactic acid bacteria (LAB), have been evaluated for their
probiotic potential and are applied as adjunct cultures in various
types of food products or in therapeutic preparations (Rodgers,
2008; Zago et al., 2011). Numerous health benefits of LAB have
made them promising probiotic candidates and being extensively
studied to explore their safety and other desirable properties
(Iranmanesh, Ezzatpanah, & Mojgani, 2014) and contribute to add
value to products.
