Lactase activity is very important enzyme for Lactose Intolerant people. The lactic acid bacteria selected for use as Probiotic bacteria should be able to tolerate many organotoxic or heavy metal toxicities in intestine at least for 90 minute, attach to the epithelium, and grow in the lower intestinal tract before they can start providing any health benefits. The Green varieties of cacao fruits were used for cacao bean fermentation. The cacao bean covers with white pulp containing fructose, e.g. 42 mg/g, glucose 24 mg/g and sucrose 21 mg/g, as carbon source of Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB). Screening of LAB was carried out after 24-36 h during spontaneous fermentation. This paper aims to find potential LAB resistant acid pH and producing potential antimicrobial and showing high protease/lactase activities. The medium of de Man, Ragosa, and Sharpe (MRS) were used to screen LAB, and 63 col.. View More»
