Abstract

An indigenous food mixture containing rice flour, milk coprecipitate, sprouted green gram paste and tomato pulp (2: 1: 1: 1 w/w) was developed and called a RCGT food mixture. It was autoclaved (1.5 kg/cm2, 15min, 121 °C), cooled and fermented with 2% liquid culture (containing 106 cells/ml broth). Two types of fermentations were carried out i.e. one step single culture fermentation [L. casei or L. plantarum (37 °C, 24 hr.)] and sequential culture fermentation [S. boulardii (25 °C, 24 hr.) +L. casei (37 °C, 24 hr.)]; [S. boulardii (25 °C, 24 hr.) + L. plantarum (37 °C, 24 hr.)]. All fermentations drastically reduced the contents of phytic acid, polyphenols and trypsin inhibitor activity while significantly improving the in vitro digestibilities of starch and protein. Sequential culture fermentations brought about further changes compared to one step single culture fermentation.
