Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus Attributes as Influenced by Carao (Cassia grandis) Fruit Parts
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Carao (Cassia grandis) contains numerous bioactive substances that contribute to gastrointestinal well-being. The present study assessed the potential impacts of carao on the viability and performance of Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus under various adverse conditions. These conditions included bile, acid, gastric juice, and lysozyme exposure, simulating the digestive process from the mouth to the intestines. The activity of proteases from cultures was monitored to examine their proteolytic capabilities. To achieve this, the cultures were cultivated in a solution containing plant material, and the results were compared against a control sample after an incubation period. Subsequently, the total phenolic content, total carotenoid content, antioxidant activity, sugar profile, and acid profile of the plant materials were analyzed. These analyses were conducted to explore these compounds’ influence on cultures’ survival. Seeds contained the highest total phenols (766.87 ± 11.56 µg GAE/mL), total carotenoid content (7.43 ± 0.31 mg Q/mL), and antioxidant activity (40.76 ± 1.87%). Pulp contained the highest moisture (12.55 ± 0.44%), ash (6.45 ± 0.15%), lipid (0.66 ± 0.07%), protein (16.56 ± 0.21%), sucrose (9.07 ± 0.78 g/100 g), and fructose (3.76 ± 0.06 g/ 100 g). The crust had the highest content of ash (85.14 ± 0.27%) and succinic acid (2.01 ± 0.06 g/100 g). Results indicated that seeds negatively affected cultures’ survival in the bile tolerance test and had positive effects on Lactobacillus bulgaricus in the protease activity test. Otherwise, the other carao tissues could not change the results significantly (p > 0.05) compared to the control in different tests. The carao crust positively affected cultures’ against protease activity, especially in Lactobacillus bulgaricus, and had a negative effect on the growth of S. thermophilus in the lysozyme and gastric acid resistance test.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
