In this paper, Bacillus subtilis (natto) was incubated to develop a possible functional ingredient in ice cream. A lab-scale culture revealed that incubation in the sterilised milk without dilution and concentration at 37°C for 28 h could obtain ideal growth characteristics of Bacillus subtilis (natto), especially with continuous aeration. Following freezing operation of the cultured milk, survival content of Bacillus subtilis (natto) was at 49-92%, while nattokinase activity was conserved at 62-98% comparing with the initial contents, which indicating a potential for application of natto functional ingredient in frozen milk products.
