Consumer demands for foods promoting health while preventing diseases have led to development of functional foods that contain probiotic bacteria. Fermented dairy products are good substrates for probiotic delivery, but the large number of lactose intolerant people, their high fat and cholesterol content and also due to the growing vegetarianism the consumers are seeking for alternatives. Therefore, researches have been widely studied the feasibility of probiotic bacteria in non-dairy products such as fruits, vegetables, and cereals. This review describes the application of probiotic cultures in non-dairy food products.

The fermented dairy products were prepared using, four different probiotic bacteria, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lb. rhamnosus, Lb. reutri and Lb. acidophilus individually. The fermented products were prepared using skimmed milk with the addition of 0, 1 and 2% inulin. The results showed that,  the fat percentages were 0.14-0.18%, titrable acidity 0.69-0.89%, pH values 4.63- 4.84, total solids 11.95-13.85 and the protein percentages were 3.91-4.26% .The results showed that there were variation in the viable counts of probiotic bacteria according to the added percentage of inulin.  It was found that the logarithmic viable counts for Lb. plantarum were 10.86, 12.41 and 13.91 when 0, 1 and 2% inulin was added respectively, while these counts were;  10.61, 12.30, 13.75, 9.97, 11.94, 13.75, 9.72, 10.10 and 11.20 cfu/g for Lb. rhamnosus, Lb. reutri and Lb. acidophilus, respectively. The decreased in logarithmic cycle was by 1.41-1.87 of viable counts (after 10 weeks at 5c) between the treatments of 0% inulin and those which is supported by probiotics addition.  At the same conditions, the treatments with 1% inulin shawed 1.5 logarithmic cycle reduction in  Lb. rhamnosus, Lb. reutri and Lb. acidophilus ,and 0.78 logarithmic cycle when Lb. planetarium were used. By using 2% inulin the logarithmic cycle decreased were one cycle for Lb. rhamrnosus, Lb. reutri and Lb. acidophilus while it was 0.33 cycle for Lb. planetarium at the same conditions.

Objectives: The study aimed to measure the viability of probiotic bacteria in different probiotic fermented dairy products marketed in Jordan during their shelf lives. Methods: Ten products which were all known commercial probiotic fermented dairy drinks were purchased from main market stores at 0 day of processing, and kept under 4oC for the assigned time intervals (1, 7, 14 day). These products included 7 stirred yogurt Activia, Activia low-fat, Actimel, Baladna, Acti-Yogho, Moffedo, and Vital, and 2 set yogurt (Activia - apricot and peach, Activia light – strawberry) and one stirred yogurt (Activia- stirred). Samples were tested for probiotic count at those intervals in an unopened refrigerated bottles. Sensory evaluation using hedonic scale was carried out on the above products in an unopened package at the same indicated intervals. Morphology of probiotic bacteria in commercial products was also confirmed microscopically.Results: The results of the viability of probiotic counts in log10 remaining above 7 log until the end of shelf life (14 d) except for four products including Moffedo, vital, Activia set yogurt light – strawberry, and Activia (stirred yogurt) which decreased to 3.4, 4.9, 5.0, and 5.0 respectively at the end storage period. The pH for all products until the end of the study were between 4.1- 4.5. The best average of all sensory characteristics using hedonic scale (8.3) was for Actimel, whereas the lowest (7.1) was for both Moffedo and Activia set yogurt- Apricot and peach.Conclusion: The counts of probiotic bacteria in fermented dairy products is not always above the therapeutic dose of 6.0 log cfu/g, which urge governmental authorities to establish a standard related to these products.

Bacterial resistance to antimicrobials is a global health problem that affects not only on humane and veterinary medicine, but also on food products. The food chain can be by transmission of antibiotic resistance from bacterial populations to animals and humans. Literary data on the current state of the problem of antibiotic resistance of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in Ukraine and in the world are given in the review. Possible ways of transferring resistance to antibiotics through fermented dairy products are shown. The main aspects of the danger of transmission of antibiotic resistance genes through the LAB and fermented dairy products are revealed. The main modern approaches to the definition of antibiotic resistance of microorganisms with the use of classical and modern research methods are described. The article provides the main sources of information on the safety of use of LAB as starter cultures and probiotics for the production of fermented dairy products. The hypothesis of the resistance gene's reservoir suggests that LAB can be a reservoir of sustainability genes, and the subsequent transfer of such genes to pathogenic and opportunistic microorganisms. The presence of antibiotic resistance genes transposed horizontally is inadmissible for lactobacilli, which are used as commercial bacterial agents for the production of fermented dairy products. According to the literature data, the absence of acquired antimicrobial resistance has become an important criterion for assessing the safety of lactobacilli, which are used as starting cultures for the production of fermented dairy products or probiotics. It has been established that it is obligatory to study the antibiotic resistance gene in addition to clinical and laboratory methods of studying the antibiotic resistance of LAB. To minimize the formation of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in food products of plant and animal origin it is possible by careful monitoring of residues of antibiotics in raw materials and finished products. This will prevent the entry of antibiotic resistant strains into the natural cycle.

Probiotics are live microorganisms which, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host. Traditionally, dairy products are the major and most popular probiotic carriers. At present, there is a growing demand for non-dairy probiotic products. Both fermented and non-fermented non-dairy plant-based food products are becoming highly appealing to both dairy and non-dairy consumers worldwide. Non-dairy plant-based food matrices such as fruits, vegetables, plant-based milk, cereals, and legumes have been used successfully in producing probiotic products with the minimum recommended viable probiotic numbers at the time of consumption. However, due to the exclusion of dairy, whether these food matrices can enhance the functional properties of probiotics such as gastrointestinal survival and immune-enhancing effects needs a thorough investigation. Hence, this review focuses on some of the popular non-dairy plant-based probiotic food products and their microbiological quality characteristics in terms of maintaining probiotic viability during product storage. Their gastrointestinal tolerance in these products, other functional properties, and product qualities have also been briefly discussed.
