Cholesterol-reducing activity of lactic acid bacteria / Zuhailah Mohd Shafawi

Two strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were analysed for their ability to produce BSH enzyme and to remove cholesterol from growth media. A plate assay method was conducted to screen the ability of the LAB to produce BSH enzyme, and o­ phthalaldehyde method was carried out to determine their abil...
