Results: Strain B0007, B0006 and B0022 assimilated more cholesterol than BCRC10474 and BCRC
17010. The isolated strains showed tolerance to pH 3.0 for 3 h despite variations in the degree
of viability and bile-tolerant strains, with more than 108
CFU/mL after incubation for 24 h at 1%
oxigall in MRS. In addition, strain B0007 and B0022 identified as Lactobacillus plantarum with 16S
rDNA sequences were able to adhere to the Caco-2 cell lines
