METHOD FOR PRODUCING FOODS AND DRINKS CONTAINING BIFIDOBACTERIA

摘要

Foods and drinks containing bifidobacteria are produced by inoculating and cultivating bifidobacteria or a mixture of bifidobacteria and lactic acid bacteria in a medium containing alpha -starch-transformed rice and bifidobacteria-fermentable sugars, and processing the resultant cultivated medium to produce foods and drinks containing bifidobacteria. The alpha -starch-transformed rice is produced by cooking rice. The medium for cultivating bifidobacteria may contain milk, and cultivating may be carried out under aerobic conditions.
