We evaluated the effects of Bifidobacterium breve-fermented soymilk on probiotic function. An administered strain of B. breve strain Yakult was capable of growing in soymilk with no additives as high as 10(9) CFU/ml. During storage of the fermented soymilk at 10 degrees C for 20 days, viable counts of the strain did not change. The growth inhibition of the strain in a bile-containing medium was lessened by the addition of soy protein. In human feeding experiments, the administered B. breve was recovered at a level of over 10(9) CFU/g faeces, accompanied by an increase in the total number of bifidobacteria. These results indicate that fermented soymilk with B. breve strain Yakult could be a novel type of probiotic food.
