Growth Pattern of Lactic Acid Bacteria in Probiotic Rice Washed Water
Growth Pattern of Lactic Acid Bacteria in Probiotic Rice Washed Water
Abstract
Readily available rice washed water posed as potential medium for lactic
acid bacteria, thus its utilization as probiotic drink for animals was
explored. This study investigated the LAB growth pattern in rice washed
water using factorial design following Completely Randomized Design.
Highest bacterial count was from 1:3 rice-water ratio 1st washing (T5) at
12h (1.5 x109cfu/ml) and 1:2 rice-ratio 1st washing (T3) at 30h (1.5x109cfu/
ml). The 1:3 rice-water ratio 1st washing (T5) and 1:1 rice-water ratio 2nd
washing (T2) provided an early rapid growth environment. Logarithmic
phase started at 18h with T5 having the highest microbial count. Decline
phase ranged from 18h to 36h. Morphological and culture characteristics
were identical to the activated LAB from the source. Results indicate that
rice washed water can be used as probiotic drink within 12h to 42h after
fermentation.
