title: Desmutagenicity of milk cultured with Lactobacillus acidophilus strains against mutagenic heated tauco.
abstract: Desmutagenicity of milk cultured with Lactobacillus acidophilus strains on the mutagenicity of heated salty and sweet tauco were examined using streptomycin dependent (SD) 510 strain of Salmonella typhimurium TA98 as tester culture. Cultured milk samples widely exhibited desmutagenic effects against mutagenic heated salty and sweet tauco. Mutagenicity of heated salty tauco was inhibited by acidophilus cultured milks stronger than that of heated sweet tauco. Milk cultured with strains SBT2054, SBT0299, SBT0274, SBT10238. SBT1702, SBT10240, SBT10241 and SBT10239 showed high inhibition against the mutagenicity of both heated salty and sweet taucos. Maximum inhibition was reached after 24 hr of incubation which corresponded to stationary growth phase. Desmutagenic activities of the acidophilus cultured milks against mutagenic heated tauco were mainly attributed to the bacterial cells and also to casein of milk.
