This presentation will be a summary of current research lines of the research group. The group has a collection of ca. 150 strains of potentially probiotic lactic acid bacteria isolated from kefir and other dairy products. The overall goal is to stabilize these strains in dehydration processes and technological treatments through an interdisciplinary approach involving physical, chemical, microbiological and statistical methods. In stabilizing the bacteria use up several protective agents, namely oligosaccharides known for their prebiotic properties and are studied the molecular mechanisms of protection.
In general, it will be presented the most important results published in the last 3 years.
