Abstract
A method for producing an aqueous beverage containing sporogenous lactic bacteria in accordance with the present invention uses dormant sporogenous lactic bacterium in a water solution. The dormant state is achieved by making the sporogenous lactic bacteria produce endospores so the sporogenous lactic bacteria will have excellent endurance in a water solution at room temperature and even extreme conditions in the digestive system. The dormant sporogenous lactic bacteria specifically revive in the intestines. Therefore, the aqueous beverage containing sporogenous lactic bacterium can be stored without being refrigerated and has a long preserving life. Moreover, the lactic bacterium actually develops its beneficial features in the intestines.
Claims10
A method for producing an aqueous beverage containing sporogenous lactic bacteria comprising the acts of:
- selecting sporogenous lactic bacterium, wherein the sporogenous lactic bacterium is cultured, screened and collected;
- making the selected sporogenous lactic bacteria dormant, wherein the selected sporogenous lactic bacteria are made to enter a dormant state by controlling the culturing conditions of the culturing media until the sporogenous lactic bacteria produce entire endospores;
- processing water, wherein the water solution is sterilized;
- mixing the dormant sporogenous lactic bacteria and the water to produce an aqueous beverage, wherein the sterilized water is mixed with the dormant sporogenous lactic bacteria to produce the aqueous beverage containing sporogenous lactic bacteria;
- filling containers with the aqueous beverage, wherein the aqueous beverage is poured into container;
- and
- sealing the containers.
