Isolation and identification of phytate-degrading lactobacilli from indian cereal-based fermented milk product – “Raabadi”
Abstract:
The present study on the isolation and characterization of potential phytate degrading lactobacilli from Raabadi was carried out. Twenty five samples of country made Raabadi collected from different villages of Rajasthan and Haryana in India were analyzed. Out of 40 lactobacilli isolates, nine were identified as phytate degrader, one was identified as Lactobacillus rhamnosus, five were identified as Lactobacillus fermentum and remaining three were identified as Lactobacillus brevis through phenotypic and genotypic characterization. These isolates are very much potential to degrade the phytate in cereal based fermented products.
