Probiotication of Punica granatum (pomegranate) juice by lactobacillus plantarum
Fruit juice enriched with probiotics is increasingly accepted nowadays, mainly due to its health benefit for digestive system. In particular, probioticated fruit juice is the good choice for those who are having lactose intolerant problem from milk based drinks. In the present study, the whole fruit...
