Probiotic bacteria and regulation of fat storage

摘要

The present invention provides methods for manufacturing heat treated products involving the use of probiotic bacteria, e.g. lactic acid bacteria and/or Bifidobacteria, cultures of such bacteria, supernatant from such cultures, and/or concentrates of such supernatant and/or fractions of such supernatant. The invention further provides heat treated products of such processes and their use for regulation of cellular uptake of fat and/or triglycerides and/or body weight management or weight reduction and/or redistribution of fat and/or reduction in visceral and/or abdominal fat deposition in a subject.

主权项

1. A product made by a method consisting of:
a) adding to a whey-based or milk-based starting material one or more of:
i) a supernatant of a culture of Lactobacillus paracasei spp. paracasei strain F19, orii) a soluble fraction of said supernatant; and then, b) treating the starting material and the supernatant or soluble fraction thereof with high temperatures in order to substantially kill and/or inactivate any bacteria.
