How does Kluyveromyces B0399 make a difference?
The challenge with formulating probiotic foods and beverages is that many strains on the market are vegetative bacterial strains, which are more fragile and have diminished efficacy in food since
- They do not survive stomach acid environment
- They do not survive antibiotics
- Thus are weakedn by food production processes
- Protective chitin cell wall makes them highly resistant and stable
- Survive the low pH of the stomach
- Natural (non - transmissible) resistance to antibiotics
- No need for refrigerated storage
- Can be used in a wider range of food products
- Very fragile
- Vulnerable to low gastric pH and bile salts
- Susceptible to most harsh manufacturing processes/li>
- Susceptible to antibiotics
- Poor shelf-life, generally require refrigeration
