Abstract
|
|
|
|
Effect of dietary supplementation of Bifidobacterium-fermented soy pypocotyls (BFSH) on the composition of large intestinal bacteria of the elderly people was investigated. Four grams of BFSH containing 10^9 cfu/g Bifidobacterium were administered daily to 14 elderly volunteers every day for 10 days, followed by 10 days of non-intake period, and the cycle was repeated for 50 days. Composition of the intestinal bacteria (Bacteroides, Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus, E. coli, Clostridium perfringens) examined revealed that administration of BFSH resulted in a marked increase in Bifidobacterium and a decrease in Bacteroides. Stool evacuation frequencies, pH, and water contents of the fecal samples did not change significantly.
