CHINO,
Calif., April 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- A
functional assessment of Bacillus subtilis PLSSC (SEBtilis™)
demonstrated its antimicrobial activity and capability to offer
health benefits through industrial processing and the digestion
process, showing its value-add in functional foods, beverages and
dietary supplements.
The objective of the newly published study, titled "In-Depth
Functional Characterization of Bacillus subtilis PLSSC
Revealing its Robust Probiotic Attributes," was to evaluate the
antimicrobial activity of Bacillus subtilis PLSSC and its
ability to survive the harsh conditions of gastrointestinal
digestion and industrial processing.
Bacillus subtilis PLSSC exhibited excellent
resilience when exposed to gastric acid, bile stress, simulated
gastrointestinal digestion and thermal exposure, (surviving
pasteurization), maintaining viability ranging from 86.18% to 100%.
It was also found to be stable under aqueous storage conditions for
up to one year, with survival rates of up to 99.9%.
Another key highlight of the study was the characterization of
Bacillus subtilis PLSSC's broad-spectrum antimicrobial
activity. Through its production of antimicrobial peptides,
Bacillus subtilis PLSSC can support the inhibition of
pathogenic growth.
"The findings of this research highlight SEBtilis™ robust
survival capabilities, stability during processing and potent
antimicrobial activity," said Vic
Rathi, CEO & Founder of Specialty Enzymes &
Probiotics, "making it an ideal ingredient for use in supplements,
functional foods and beverages that promote health and
well-being."
