Orange Juice and Yogurt Carrying Probiotic GBI-30 6086: Impact of Intake on Wistar Male Rats Health Parameters and Gut Bacterial Diversity.

This study aimed to investigate the impact of the food matrix (orange juice and yogurt) on the effects of the spore-forming probiotic microorganism GBI-30 6086 in health parameters and gastrointestinal tract (gut) bacterial diversity in male rats. Rats ( = 48) were randomly distributed into six groups. The groups were the Control (which received sterile distilled water), Juice (which received orange juice), Yogurt (which received yogurt), Probiotic (which received GBI-30 6086 in distilled water), Probiotic Juice (which received orange juice with GBI-30 6086), and Probiotic Yogurt (which received yogurt with GBI-30 6086).

Paraprobiotics obtained by six different inactivation processes: impacts on the biochemical parameters and intestinal microbiota of Wistar male rats.

This study investigated the effects of feeding paraprobiotics obtained by six processes [heat, ultrasound, high pH, low pH, irradiation and supercritical carbon dioxide (CO)] on biochemical parameters and intestinal microbiota of Wistar male rats. Daily administration of paraprobiotics did not affect ( ≥ 0.05) the food intake, body weight, glucose and triglycerides levels, expression of antioxidant enzymes or thermal shock proteins in comparison to the control.

The Step of Incorporation of GBI-30 6086 Into "requeijão cremoso" Processed Cheese Does Not Affect Metabolic Homeostasis of Rats.

Dairy product consumption is a common habit in Brazil. These products present a good matrix for probiotic incorporation. Thus, in this study the feasibility of producing a probiotic "requeijão cremoso" incorporated with GBI-30 6086 in three different steps and its metabolic effect in an animal model for 2 weeks has been evaluated.
