Abstract:

Prebiotic sources can be developed from natural materials such as the inulin of mangrove apples (IMA). The objective of this research was to evaluate the efficacy of inulin from mangrove apples on the growth of Lactobacillus bulgaricus at an incubation time of 24 h. The experiment was conducted in the completely randomized design with 4 replicates using five different concentrations of IMA. The IMA concentrations applied in this study were 0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5 and 10% w/v. The concentration of IMA of 10% had significantly (P<0.05) revealed to have higher viability of L. bulgaricus bacteria, presenting the growth value of 9.63±0.61 log CFU/mL, producing 1.55±0.02% of total lactic acid and resulting the low pH value at 3.46±0.01. L. bulgaricus could produce different amounts of short-chain fatty acid content In vitro. IMA could be a candidate as prebiotics to support the survival of L. bulgaricus.
