- Abstract
Fermented dairy products have an important place among functional foods because of their health beneficial microorganisms. When Saccharomyces boulardii, a probiotic yeast that can be used for commercial purposes, is used with bio-yogurt microflora containing probiotic microorganisms, growth of probiotic microorganisms have been reported to be stimulated and to contribute to the survival of probiotic bacteria. S. boulardii, in contrast to bacterial species, is more resistant against antibiotics, pepsin and bile. In addition to these features, S. boulardii is a bio-agent which can exhibit therapeutic effect. It can be used against antibiotic-associated diarrhea, acute diarrhea, recurrent Clostridium difficile infection, rotavirus-associated diarrhea in babies, inflamed intestinal infection and lactose malabsorption prevention. Despite of the many therapeutic properties of S. boulardii, there is no fermented dairy product which contains S. boulardii. In this review, the use of S. boulardii as a bio therapeutic culture in fermented dairy products is presented and its therapeutic effects are reviewed.
