However, there are no reports
on the effect of different protein sources and temperatures on EPS
production by Bifidobacterium strains in milk. Therefore, the aim of
this study was to examine the effect of different dairy-based protein
sources including casein hydrolysate (CH), lactalbumin hydrolysate
(LH), whey protein concentrate (WPC) and whey protein isolate
(WPI), and temperature on the EPS production by Bifidobacterium
longum subsp. infantis CCUG 52486 and Bifidobacterium infantis
NCIMB 702205 in skim milk.
