Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a food/drink improved in the survival of Bacillus bifidus therein, meeting the needs of calorific value reduction and reduced dental caries, while having sweet taste feeling similar to that for sugar, by adding lactitol to e.g. 21 medium of Bacillus bifidus. SOLUTION: The survival of Bacillus bifidus in a food/drink such as fermented dairy product is improved by adding pref. 0.01-2 mol (per liter of the food/drink) of lactitol to a medium or cultured product of Bacillus bifidus. It is preferable that a Bacillus bifidus-contg. fermented dairy product is produced by incorporating 0.01-2 mol (per liter of the product) of lactitol in a cultured product obtained by culturing Bacillus bifidus under aerobic conditions or a medium for the culture.

From such a viewpoint, many studies have been made on methods for improving the survival of bifidobacteria in fermented milk products, and various proposals have been made.

For example, a method for improving the survival of bifidobacteria using sucrose (sucrose) or sorbitol (D-glucitol) (Japanese Patent Publication No. 57-4291) and a method for improving the survival of bifidobacteria using erythritol (Japanese Patent No. 2577692) No.).

However, sucrose is difficult to respond to the recent demand for low cariogenicity (hard caries) and low calories, and sorbitol is hard to meet the demand for low calories although it has hard caries. Although erythritol can meet the above-mentioned requirements, erythritol has a much less sweet aftertaste than sugar, making it difficult to obtain a sweetness similar to that of sugar. In other words, foods and drinks that require a sweetness similar to sugar have to be used in combination with a sweetener having sweetness characteristics similar to sugar.

(3) Lactitol is a sugar alcohol in which the glucose group of lactose has been reduced to a sorbitol group, and is produced by adding (reducing) hydrogen to lactose. The method of adding hydrogen has been applied to hardening of fats and oils for a long time, and can be performed by a conventional method well-known as a production method such as margarine or shortening.

Lactitol has a low sweetness (30 to 40% of sugar), but has no habit of sweetness similar to sugar (sucrose: sucrose). In Europe, it is widely used for sugarless confectionery. ing. In addition, it is easily dissolved in water, easily crystallized like sugar, is crystalline powder, has no hygroscopicity, and can be treated in the same manner as sugar in production. Also, like other sugar alcohols, it has the following features (confectionery synthesis technology center, “Appropriate utilization technology series of new materials for confectionery N

Lactitol is relatively well used for lactic acid bacteria-producing bacteria, Bifidobacterium and Lactobacill-us, and is hardly used for Bacteriodes and Ciostrodium. Therefore, an intestinal bacterial layer improving effect equivalent to that of lactose has been reported (“Bifidus Vol. 9, No. 1, p. 19-”).

However, lactitol is not a nutrient source for all bifidobacteria, and is assimilated with respect to the test strain Bifidobacterium brepe.
Bifidobacterium longum is not assimilated. For this reason, it is not clear what mechanism is used by lactitol, but it exhibits some protective effect only by coexisting with bifidobacteria.

Therefore, lactitol may be present in foods and drinks containing bifidobacteria. Therefore, lactitol can be added at any time before or after culturing, but after culturing, it is desirable to add lactitol as early as possible in order to reliably obtain the effects of the present invention.

The amount of lactitol added in the present invention varies depending on the type of food or drink, that is, the acidity and sweetness. For example, in the case of a fermented milk product, the amount is 0.01 to 2 mol, preferably 0.015 to 1.7 mol, more preferably 0.015 to 0.8 mol per liter of the product. If the amount is less than 0.01 mol, it is difficult to obtain a survival improving effect, and if it exceeds 2 mol, the survival improving effect is reduced.

After culturing for 0 hour, the cells were collected by centrifugation and washed several times to prepare a cell suspension (OD 660 = 1.2). Separately, each of the pH ranges contains 0.6 moles of sugar.
A 1 M acetate buffer was prepared, 9 mL of the buffer was mixed with 1 mL of the cell suspension, and the mixture was stored at 5 ° C. On the third day of storage,
On days 7 and 10, the number of surviving bacteria was measured.

2. The number of surviving bacteria of Bifidobacterium longum ATCC15707 is rapidly reduced from the third day of storage when no sugar is added.
From the day, the decrease in the number of surviving bacteria is more gradual than in the case without sugar. In the case of adding lactitol, the number of surviving bacteria was further improved as compared with the case of adding sucrose.

Prepared. This starter was immediately inoculated into 10 L of a 17% reduced skim milk medium containing 0.5% of yeast extract, and cultured at 37 ° C. for 18 hours. For each of lactitol, fructose and glucose, a sugar solution and a culture solution containing at each sugar concentration shown in Table 4 were mixed at a ratio of 1: 1 and homogenized with a homogenizer to prepare 10 L of a fermented milk beverage.
