PRODUCTION OF NONTOXIC RAW MATERIALS AND FINISHED PRODUCTS TESTED BY MEANS OF AN INNOVATIVE PROBIOTIC BACTERIA BASED METHOD FOR DETERMINING TOXICITY TOWARDS PROBIOTIC BACTERIA

摘要

A method for producing raw materials and finished products intended for food and pharmaceutical industries which are devoid of any toxicity toward probiotic bacteria is described. A probiotic bacteria-based toxicity test method is also described.

主权项

1. A method for testing toxicity of a food or pharmaceutical raw material; the method comprising:
placing a raw material in contact with a pre-established bacterial load of at least one probiotic bacterial strain; and detecting a reduction of said pre-established bacterial load due to the toxicity exerted by said raw material toward said at least one probiotic bacterial strain.
