Technical Data and Regulatory Status of Lactobacillus Strains for Fruit Beverage Fermentation
Question
Could you please provide the product specification sheet, storage conditions, and usage parameters for the following freeze-dried Lactobacillus strains (high concentration) intended for fruit beverage fermentation: Lactobacillus Acidophilus (200 billion/g), Lactobacillus paracasei (400 billion/g), and Lactobacillus plantarum (400 billion/g)? Additionally, please confirm if Lactobacillus plantarum (400 billion/g) (Freeze-dried) is approved for food use in Thailand according to the current Thai FDA regulations, specifically referencing the document 'ข้อกำหนดคุณภาพหรือมาตรฐานสำหรับเชื้อจุลินทรีย์ที่ใช้ในการผลิตอาหาร'.
Answer
Information on Lactobacillus Strains for Fruit Beverage Fermentation
Based on the available product information for the specific freeze-dried Lactobacillus strains you inquired about:
- Lactobacillus Acidophilus (200 billion/g)
- Lactobacillus paracasei (400 billion/g)
- Lactobacillus plantarum (400 billion/g)
The product descriptions primarily highlight the general health benefits associated with these probiotic strains, such as digestive health support, immune function, and potential benefits for skin and oral health. They confirm that these are freeze-dried cultures.
However, the detailed technical information you requested, such as specific product specification sheets, precise storage conditions (beyond being freeze-dried), and detailed usage parameters specifically for fruit beverage fermentation (like optimal temperature, pH range, or recommended inoculation rates), are not available in the standard product descriptions.
For comprehensive technical data, including specification sheets and detailed guidance on storage and optimal usage conditions for your specific application (fruit beverage fermentation), it is best to contact the product supplier directly. They can provide the most accurate and complete technical documentation.
Regarding your second question about the regulatory status of Lactobacillus plantarum (400 billion/g) (Freeze-dried) for food use under the current Thai FDA regulations, I cannot access or interpret specific government regulatory documents like the "ข้อกำหนดคุณภาพหรือมาตรฐานสำหรับเชื้อจุลินทรีย์ที่ใช้ในการผลิตอาหาร". While Lactobacillus plantarum is a commonly used food-grade microorganism, to confirm its specific approval status and any conditions for use under the latest Thai FDA standards, you should consult the official document you mentioned or contact the Thai FDA directly. The product information available does not contain this specific regulatory confirmation for Thailand.
In summary, while the products matching the strains you listed are available, detailed technical specifications and regulatory confirmation require consulting the supplier or official regulatory bodies.
