Lyophilized L. plantarum TENSIA® - BioCC OÜ

Lactobacillus plantarum TENSIA®

Lactic acid bacteria culture for food and food supplements.

Properties

  • Supplying the human body with Lactobacillus plantarum strain TENSIA®, which enhances the body’s natural resistance to enteropathogens.
  • In food products plantarum TENSIA reduces the risk of foodborne infections by suppressing potentially pathogenic bacteria due to antimicrobial activity against enteric pathogens like listeria, salmonella and shigella, and psychrophilic microbes.
  • Increases the number of useful lactobacilli in the gut, which ensures breakdown of the nutrients into more easily absorbable compounds.
  • Helps to maintain and restore the balance of intestinal microbiota.

Lactobacillus plantarum TENSIA® tolerates technological processing well and copes well with different stressors. The strain withstands the manufacturing process of food, is able to multiply at relatively low (+12oC) and high (+45oC) temperatures and in a carbohydrate-scarce medium. TENSIA® is able to survive at 55oC.
