ABSTRACT
Clinically proven Lactobacillus acidophilus strain LBKV-3 intended as probiotic for humans was used to test its effect on fecal residual lactase activity in undernourished children below 10 years of age. The children were selected from malnutrition-declared area of Maharashtra (India). One of the major causes of malnutrition is lactose intolerance which leads to diarrhea. The basic consideration in selecting the probiotic strain of L. acidophilus (LBKV-3) in this investigation was the fact that the organism is isolated from human vaginal surface swab and it was found extensively studied for probiotic characteristic. LBKB3 is tested by several workers as probiotic for hypocholesterolemic activity, implantation ability, therapeutic effects on gastrointestinal (GI) and related ailments. The results of present investigation have shown that the fecal residual lactase activity significantly increased than its initial value (which was almost zero). It appeared that the fecal residual ß-galactosidase activity is an indication of positive implementation abilities of the cultures under investigation. These trends were compared with the control and blank group of children receiving Dahi and buffalo milk (BM). It was observed that both these products failed to exert any significant impact on increase in residual lactase activity.
