The isolates in study were further characterized for their cholesterol reduction ability. Cholesterol assimilation by both viable and dead cells of these strains was determined in MRS broth containing 0.3 g/100 ml bile salt. According to results, highest level of cholesterol removal was recorded in L.brevis, while all the other isolates in study were also able to reduce cholesterol to lesser extent. To conclude, the Lactic Acid Bacteria isolated from these traditional products migt be exploited for their probiotic potential for future studies.
