Abstract: Thirty adult male Albino rats were used in this study, divided equally into 6 groups. The first group was fed on basal ration (as a control). The second group was fed on basal ration with cream. Each of the remaining 4 groups was fed on basal ration and the prepared probiotic-cream fermented with Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium bifidium, Lactobacillus casei and the mixture of all at a ratio of 1:1:1. Blood samples were taken at 15,30, and 45 days of feeding intervals for the determination of blood lipids content. Fecal samples were collected on 15, 30 and 45 days post feeding for microbiological analyses. .
Total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, total lipids and triglycerides were significantly increased for the non-probiotic cream compared to control group. In probiotic cream treatments, all of the previously mentioned traits were significantly reduced with variable magnitudes compared with non-probiotic cream, where L. casei and the mixture of the three strains were superior in their effect. High density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol was signUzcantly increased in each of the probiotic cream treatments compared to the non-probiotic cream with variable differences. Values of the studied traits were relatively increased as the feeding intervals prolonged with some noticeable quantified differences within first and second durations. Post 45 days feeding, inclusion L. casei or mixture of the three probiotic strains to cream obviously reduced blood plasma lipids in rats, followed by B. bifidum and L. acidophilus bacteria.
Microbial fecal analysis indicated significant drastic decreases in the population of staphylococci and total coliforms for the probiotic cream treatments compared to the non-probiotic cream and the control groups as well, where the highest effect was recorded for L. casei and the mixture of the three probiotic strains. Such pathogenic microorganisms decreased as feeding intervals increased for the probiotic cream treatments. It could be concluded that inclusion probiotic bacteria in the cream (especially L. casei or mixture of three strains as a ratio 1:1:1) alleviate the harmful effects results in fed non-probiotic cream alone and create healthy beneficial effect.
