All examined bifidobacteria, Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus helveticus have shown the ability to decrease cholesterol content in cultured milks. The most active culture, Bifidobacterium infantis, decreassed 41.69% of cholesterol for 72 hours. It was followed by Lactobacillus acidophilus strain 1 40.72%, Bifidobacterium bifidum strain 1 34.08%, Lactobacillus helveticus strain 1 32.12%, Lactobacillus acidophilus strain 3 30.50%, Bifidobacterium bifidum strain 2 29.61%, Lactobacillus acidophilus strain 2 29.58%, Lactobacillus helveticus strain 2 29.55%, Lactobacillus helveticus strain 4 29.02%, Lactobacillus acidophilus strain 4 26.87% and Lactobacillus helveticus strain 3 23.21%. The acid medium (pH 3.81-4.55) and low storage temperature (5 deg C) did not inhibit the microbial cholesterol-lowering activity.
