Potential prebiotic properties of cashew apple (anacardium occidentale L.) agro-industrial byproduct on lactobacillus species. Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 97(11), 3712-37190022-5142http://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/23664The 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.engAgro-industrial byproductCashewLactobacilliPrebiotic activityjournal article10.1002/jsfa.82321097-00108502233357028111773000405415600028
