Supplementation of Labneh with Passion Fruit Peel Enhanced Survival of Nissle 1917 during Simulated Gastrointestinal Digestion and Adhesion to Caco-2 Cells.

Passion fruit peel powder (PFPP) was used to supplement the probiotic labneh to increase the activity of Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 (EcN) during production and storage. Labneh was manufactured with PFPP (0.5% and 1%) and analyzed at 0, 7, and 15 days of cold storage for postacidification and sensory properties and viability of EcN, survival of EcN to simulated gastrointestinal tract stress, and adhesion potential of EcN to Caco-2 cells.
