Considering the increasing consumer demand for vegan and vegetarian health foods, different vegetables have been already exploited to produce non-dairy probiotic foods. In addition to being rich in bioactive compounds, sea fennel ( L.), also known as rock samphire, represents a valuable candidate in the production of probiotic-enriched foods, and, to the authors' knowledge, it has not yet been explored as carrier for probiotics. Hence, the present study was aimed at evaluating the survival of a commercially available probiotic formulation, SYNBIO, and IMC 509 in an artificially acidified, pasteurized sea fennel preserve in brine during a refrigerated storage of 44 days. Despite slight reductions in the microbial loads, at the end of the storage, both the probiotic formulations showed loads higher than 7.0 Log CFU g of sea fennel or mL of brine, above the recommended administration dose to exert beneficial health effects. Thus, acidified sea fennel sprouts in brine represent a potential vehicle for probiotics delivery to humans.
考虑到消费者对纯素和素食健康食品的需求不断增加，人们已经利用不同的蔬菜来生产非乳制品益生菌食品。除了富含生物活性化合物外，海茴香（Crithmum maritimum L.），也被称为岩海菜，是生产富含益生菌食品的一个有价值的候选原料，据作者所知，它尚未被探索作为益生菌的载体。因此，本研究旨在评估市售益生菌制剂SYNBIO和IMC 509在人工酸化、巴氏杀菌的海茴香盐水腌制物中冷藏44天期间的存活率。尽管微生物负荷略有降低，但在储存结束时，两种益生菌制剂的负荷均高于7.0 Log CFU/g海茴香或/mL盐水，高于发挥有益健康作用的推荐给药剂量。因此，酸化海茴香盐水芽苗是向人类递送益生菌的潜在载体。
