Abstract
This study was carried out to survey the effect of Jujube extract on the growth of 3 strains of lactic acid bacteria(LBA) starter cultures in the MRS broth by the addition of 0, 0.1, 0.5, 1 and 2% extract The pH, titratable acidity and OD of LAB were investigated in order to get fundamental knowledge for the development a new product. The effects of Jujube extract on the growth of LAB were variable depending upon the LAB species and concentrations of Jujube extract significantly (p<0.05). In the results, Jujube extract enhanced the acid production and propagation by the 3 LAB strains with increasing concentration of Jujube extracts until 2.0% added was to the MRS broth medium (p<0.05). Addition of Jujube extract markedly stimulated the acid production and propagation of Lactobacillus acidophilus, Streptococcus thermophilus and Bifidobacterium longum.
