BACKGROUND: Cheese is a dairy product that is popular in the world. Prebiotics and probiotics are increasingly being used to produce potentially symbiotic foods, particularly through dairy products as vehicle. It is well known that both ingredients may offer benefits to improve host health. OBJECTIVES: In this study prebiotic effect of Olive leaf extract or survival of Lactobacillus casei in UF cheese production during 10 weeks storage in cold condition was researched. METHODS: After provision of aqueous extract of olive leaf, probiotic bacteria and starter culture were prepared for inoculation. This extract was added to UF cheese in the presence of the bacteria then, counting of L.Casei on MRS-bile agar with pour plate was done during 10 weeks of storage and sensory evaluation was performed after 10 weeks of cheese storage at 4 °C. RESULTS: The number of L. Casei was affected significantly by the addition of OLE (P<0.05). The bacterial growth had a significant relationship with the increase in OLE concentrations (P< 0.05). After 10 weeks, in all probiotic cheese, the concentration of L. Casei was at the level of 106 - 108 cfu/g. Also, sensory quality was positively affected by the presence of OLE in cheese samples. Cheese sample produced with the addition of 0.5% of OLE was the most desirable. CONCLUSIONS: The number of Lactobacillus casei was significantly increased during the storage weeks due to the addition of different concentrations of olive leaf extract. The number of probiotic was increased with increasing concentrations of the extract (P<0.05). Also, positive effects on the sensory properties of cheese samples affected by olive leaf extract were observed and the most common cheese sample was 0.5% of this extract.
