A review: Health promoting lactic acid bacteria in traditional Indonesianfermented foods

---

Traditional Indonesian fermented foods can be used as potential sources of probiotics as they commonly contain lactic acid bacteria (LAB),including species of Lactobacillus, Pediococcus, Enterococcus, Weisella and Leuconostoc. The occurrence of LAB in Indonesian fermented foodsis not only limited to lactic fermented foods but is also present in foods with molds as the main starter culture. This review aims to describe thesignificance of Indonesian fermented foods as potential sources of probiotics and the potential of LAB from fermented foods to promote beneficialhealth effects. A number of in vitro studies have been carried out to assess the probiotic potential of LAB from fermented foods. Many LABstrains have met the basic requirements for them to be considered as probiotics and possess some functional properties contributing to positivehealth impacts. Hypocholesterolemic effects, stimulation of the immune system, and prevention of diarrhea by some probiotic strains have beenshown in animal studies. However, human studies on the efficacy of probiotic strains are still limited. Two strains isolated from dadih, a fermentedbuffalo milk, are examples of promising probiotic strains that have gone through human studies. The potential probiotic properties of LAB inIndonesian fermented foods still need to be fully investigated to assess their impact on human health. The studies should also consider factors thatmay influence the functional properties of probiotics, both in foods and in humans
