- Potential prebiotic properties of cashew apple (Anacardium occidentale L.) agro-industrial byproduct on Lactobacillus speciesPublication . Duarte, Francisca Nayara Dantas; Rodrigues, Jéssica Bezerra; Lima, Maiara da Costa; Lima, Marcos dos Santos; Pacheco, Maria Teresa Bertoldo; Pintado, Maria Manuela Estevez; Aquino, Jailane de Souza; Souza, Evandro Leite deThe prebiotic effects of a cashew apple (Anacardium occidentale L.) agro-industrial byproduct powder (CAP) on different potentially probiotic Lactobacillus strains, namely Lactobacillus acidophilus LA-05, Lactobacillus casei L-26 and Lactobacillus paracasei L-10, were assessed using in vitro experimental models. Accordingly, the growth of the Lactobacillus strains when cultivated in a broth containing CAP (20 or 30 g L-1 ), glucose (20 g L-1 ) or fructooligosaccharides (FOS) (20 g L-1 ) was monitored over 48 h; the prebiotic activity scores of CAP were determined; and the changes in pH values, production of organic acids and consumption of sugars in growth media were verified.
