Indigenous Probiotic for Gut Health & Heat Stability
Probiotic Formulation
Tags: IIT Delhi, India, Agriculture & Food, Healthcare & Lifesciences
An indigenous probiotic formulation has been developed using a locally sourced strain optimized for the Indian gut microbiome. Unlike imported probiotic strains, this formulation enhances storage stability and biological activity with a specialized promoter, ensuring viability at pH 2 and temperatures up to 45°C. The strain demonstrates high bile tolerance and antibiotic resistance, making it highly adaptable for digestive health applications. The formulation is safe, easy to produce, and suitable for food supplements and nutraceuticals. It has been tested in vitro, with a prototype successfully developed.
