VERWENDUNG VON PROPIONÄURE BAKTERIEN FÜR DIE HERSTELLUNG VON PROPIONSÄURE IM DICKDARM

摘要

The invention concerns the use of propionic bacteria selected according to their low propensity to autolysis and their resistance to bile salts to obtain a current food composition or a dietetic composition of a medicine absorbable by a human or animal, prepared in such a way that the bacteria are well protected at least partially against gastric acidity, containing at least 10<6> cell/grams of said bacteria, capable of stimulating and increasing significantly the synthesis of propionic acid and/or propionate and, as the case may be, acetic acid and/or acetate at the colon by anaerobic bacterial fermentation.
