The proteolytic activity of the lactic cultures used for the preparation of MLBBR beverage was studied by plate assay using the supernatant of the product fermented individually with L. plantarum and E. hirae and no hydrolysis of the casein was noticed in both the products (data not shown), indicating that the lactic cultures used for the fermentation cannot utilize the protein from Moringa leaves for its growth. This could be beneficial as Moringa protein is available for human consumption.
