Evaluation of prebiotic effect of Chlorela vulgaris
Original language description
The use of microalgae in functional food and animal feed has substantially increased in the last decades. Microalgae belong to the superfoods because they are a rich source of beneficial compounds (carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and vitamins) for human or animal nutrition. Therefore, we decided to test the combination of microalgae Chlorella vulgaris with probiotic microorganisms for application in new dairy products or dietary supplements. Firstly, we investigated prebiotic effect of Chlorella vulgaris on 14 selected probiotic strains mostly from genera Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus. The selected probiotic strains were cultivated for 24 hours in standard basal medium (with or without Chlorella cells) and in medium containing commercial prebiotics. The growth of probiotic strains was compared on the basis of cells count (the agar plate method), pH and acetic and lactic acid concentration. Negative influence of Chlorella on the bacterial growth was not observed. Our results indicate that Chlorella can have a considerable potential for the development of new functional foods and dietary supplements in combination with probiotics.
