INTRODUCTION
Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum species are well known for their application in fermented milk products. Consumption of these bacteria is frequently related to the health promoting activities of some strains. Strains with beneficial characteristics are referred to as probiotic [1, 2].
Probiotics are beneficial microorganisms that protect the host from diseases and defined as “live microbial feed supplements which beneficially affect the host by improving its intestinal microbial balance” [3]. Consumption of dairy products containing Lactobacillus species can aid in the control of serum cholesterol in animal and humans.
Assimilation of cholesterol in the intestines by Lactobacillus species may reduce the amount of dietary cholesterol absorbed in to the body [4].
Because the ability of Lactobacillus species to assimilate cholesterol during growth varies by strain, the Lactobacillus strains for use as a dietary adjunct to potentially reduce serum cholesterol should be carefully selected [4].
Bifidobacteria are a focus of intensive international research for their essential role in fermented food especially for their ability to product various antimicrobial compounds promoting probiotic properties [5].
Recently design and production of probiotic preparations with basic plants are considered for both rule of health nature and variation creation in product and consume. It seems that probiotic product of these productions is with relevant quality property taking considerable part of studied searches in the future [6].
The objective of this study was to create a technical The objective of this study was to create a technical method to produce and preserve a kind of fermented probiotic dairy product an with acceptable aroma, while containing reasonable counts of probiotic bacteria.
