Antibacterial Activity of Fermented Whey on Some Selected Enteropathogenic Bacteria
Keywords:
Probiotic, antimicrobial activity and dairy products.Abstract
Probiotic applications in food and feed also require safety assessments including bacterial resistance to antibiotics. The antimicrobial tests of the whey were tested on the test strains of pathogens by using the agar-gel diffusion inhibition test. The assessment of antimicrobial activity was based on measurement of inhibition zones formed around the well. Disc diffusion method did not produce recordable results for all the four type of whey samples against the pathogens. Bioactive peptides present in milk whey are one of the most studied compounds in different dairy products. These bioactive peptides are produced by enzymatic hydrolysis during fermentation and gastrointestinal digestion. Whey is a popular dietary protein supplement that is well known to possess antimicrobial activity, immune modulation, improved muscle strength and body composition.
