Abstract

An anti-oxidative Lactobacillus rhamnosus CCFM1107 can relieve chronic alcoholic liver injury, and L. rhamnosus CCFM1107 can be used in preparing dairy products as starter culture. The dairy products of this invention include milk, milk powder, milk capsules or fermented milk containing L. rhamnosus CCFM1107. It has strong abilities of anti-oxidation, scavenging diphenyl picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical and hydroxyl radical, inhibiting lipid peroxidation, tolerating cholate, chlorine sodium and pH, and can improve liver function and antioxidative index, lower serum endotoxin level and regulate intestinal flora distribution, thus effectively relieving alcoholic liver injury of mice.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method for preparing a dairy composition, which comprises: i) inoculating sterilized skim milk with Lactobacillus rhamnosus , and incubating at 37° C. for 14-16 h, which forms as curd; ii) inoculating sterilized skim milk with the curd of step i), and incubating at 37° C. for 14-16 h, which results in curd; iii) inoculating sterilized skim milk with the curd of step ii), and incubating at 37° C. for 14-16 h, which forms curd that named as a mother starter; iv) inoculating sterilized skim milk with the mother starter, and incubating at 37° C. for 14-16 h, which forms curd as a starter culture which contains 1-3×10 9 CFU/ml bacteria; v) mixing the starter culture with a sterilized raw milk which contains at least 10 6 CFU/ml Lactobacillus rhamnosus , and storing at a refrigerator, characterized in that the Lactobacillus rhamnosus is Lactobacillus rhamnosus CCFM1107, deposited at the General Microbiology Culture Collection Center of China Committee for Culture Collection of Microorganisms under accession number CGMCC5496.

2. The method according to claim 1 , which further comprises: a) mixing the raw milk with the starter culture, incubating at 37° C. for 12-18 h which yields fermented milk after the step iv) of claim 1 ; then b) mixing the fermented milk and the sterilized raw milk, homogenizing, vacuum-concentrating and spray-drying which yields milk powders which are optionally capsulated as milk capsules.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the raw milk is one or more kinds of milk selected from skim milk, fresh milk, or reconstituted milk wherein the milk is selected from cow's milk, goat's milk or mare's milk.

4. The method according to claim 1 , which further comprises: c) adding 3-5% of the starter culture and 3-5% of commercial culture by volume into the sterilized raw milk after the step iv) of claim 1 ; and chi) homogenizing, fermenting at 37° C. until the concentration of lactic acid is up 0.6-0.7%; iii) cooling and storing in a refrigerator.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the commercial culture contains Lactobacillus bulgaricus or/and Streptococcus thermophilus.
