Probiotic microorganisms added to cottage cheese remained
viable after four weeks of refrigeration storage releasing more
peptides that could potentially be bioactive. Therefore, addition of
probiotics with proteolytic activity can generate the release of
potentially bioactive peptides. The probiotic microorganisms could
survive the gastrointestinal tract at significant levels (104 cfu g1).
To expand the probiotic product impact, we proposed cottage
cheese as a good carrier of probiotic microorganisms, due to the
survival of microorganisms in the 28 days storage period.
