Lactic acid bacteria composition consists of LUHS122, LUHS242, LUHS210, LUHS244, LUHS135, LUHS71, LUHS245 strains (122 = Lactobacillus plantarum LUHS122; 242 = Enteroccocus pseudoavium LUHS242; 210 = Lactobacillus casei LUHS210; 244 = Lactobacillus paracasei LUHS244; 135 = Lactobacillus plantarum LUHS135; 71 = Lactobacillus coryniformins LUHS71; 245 = Lactobacillus uvarum LUHS245).
Values are mean ± SD of 3 replicate analyses (n = 3).
