Sažetak
Numerous studies have shown that honey, besides antimicrobial properties also possess prebiotic activity on probiotic bacteria, which as part of the natural human microflora play an important role in preserving health and fighting against diseases and various pathogens. One of the most quality, although still relative unknown type of honey is honeydew honey. In this work, prebiotic effects of honeydew on probiotic bacterium Lactobacillus plantarum have been tested. Results have shown that honeydews have prebiotic effect and enhance growth of probiotic bacteria L. plantarum at a concentration of 1% and 5%. Also, honeydew improve fermentation abilities but do not enhance autoagregation of L. plantarum. Therefore, honeydew could be used as prebiotic in functional food.
