Abstract

This study was carried out to survey the effect of medicinal herbs on the growth of 3 strains of lactic starter cultures in MRS broth by the addition of 0, 1, 3, 5, and 10% water extract, after 30 hrs incubation. The pH, titratable acidity and O.D. of lactic acid bacteria were investigated to obtain fundamental knowledge for the development a new product. The effects of medicinal herbs extracts on the growth of lactic acid bacteria were variable depending upon the species of lactic acid bacteria and medicinal herbs extract. Growth of Str. thermohilus was activated by addition of 1 and 3% Angelica gigas water extract, but the basal medium plus 5 and 10% extract and growth of L. acidophilus and Bif. longum were depressed by the addition of extract. The pH and acid production ability dropped slightly in the basal medium plus 1 and 3% of extract. The other samples following the same trend as the control.
