observed a clear synergistic effect between Lactobacillus acidophilus L10, B. animalis B94 and Lactobacillus
casei L26 and a green tea extract (“TEAVIGO”) in relation to the inhibition of growth in vitro of S. aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes.
Although previous references on the joint incorporation of tea extract and probiotics in an edible film are not known, the
relationship between probiotics and other polyphenolic compounds is established.
Thus, flavonoids have been reported to have effects on the gut microflora as an increase in the count of beneficial
bacterias (Lactobacillus rhamnosus), enhance adherence of this bacterium on the gut wall and inhibition of the proliferation of enteropathogens like S. aureus or S. thyphimurium
