 What is Fermentation?
- Fermentation is a metabolic process that produces chemical
changes in organic substrates through the action of enzymes. In
biochemistry, it is narrowly defined as the extraction of energy from
carbohydrates in the absence of oxygen.
Fermentation in food processing is the process of converting
carbohydrates to alcohol or organic acids using microorganisms
yeasts or bacteria under anaerobic conditions. Fermentation usually
implies that the action of microorganisms is desired. The science of
fermentation is known as zymology or zymurgy.
PRODUCT OF FERMINTATION
Yakult
What is a Yakult?
Yakult ( ヤクルト , Yakuruto) is a probiotic milk beverage fermented with the
bacteria strain Lactobacillus paracasei Shirota, first isolated from the human
intestine by Japanese scientist Minoru Shirota in the 1930s and sold by Yakult Honsha

Yakult is a fermented milk drink containing the live cultures of the lactic bacteria,
Lactobacillus casei strain Shirota, which can survive in the human intestinal tract. In 1930,
Dr. Minoru Shirota, founder of the Yakult Honsha, isolated this strain of lactic acid bacteria
which plays a beneficial rule in the human intestines. Subsequently, the product Yakult was
developed. This product provides consumers with a healthy drink that contains 8 billion
live Lactobacillus casei strain Shirota, which maintains intestinal health and thus helps
prevent disorders.

Microorganisms have to conquer various physiological barriers in order to survive in the

human intestinal tract. These barriers – gastric juice and bile – are strongly bactericidal and
kill most of the microorganisms that invade the human intestinal tract. The Lactobacillus
casei strain Shirota in Yakult, however, is resistant to gastric acid and bile, and is able to
reach the intestines alive. Once in the intestines, they act to exert various beneficial effects,
which retain and promote intestinal health.

What is the importance of the yakult?
The process of fermentation to produce Yakult provides probiotics – the live
beneficial bacteria. The probiotics produced during the fermentation process are
very important for a healthy gut and strong immunity. Because our gut is the place
where nutrients get absorbed, it’s considered vital to our health.
