Pickles are an indispensable part of people's diet in southwest China, when fruits and vegetables ferment, healthy bacteria will break down the natural sugars that exist in them, these are called probioticsbacterianot only save food, but also produce a number of benefits, including regulating the host body's immune system, stabilizing gut microbes, lowering cholesterol levels and inhibiting tooth decayresearchers said that The probiotics of Sichuan kimchi called Lplantarum K41, plant Lactobacillus K41 may reduce the number of morphatcoccal bacteria (Smutans, streptococcus mutans), which can cause tooth decay or tooth decay, which is usually found in dental plaque systria in the human mouth, and is also a major risk factor for tooth decaythe study, researchers evaluated 14 sichuan kimchi from southwest China, from which they extracted 54 different types of lactic acid bacteria, and found that plant Lactobacillus K41 significantly reduced the incidence and severity of tooth decay in the body, K41 is highly resistant to acid and salt, which may produce additional benefits as a probiotic in harsh oral conditions, and researchers can add it to dairy products to produce potential commercial valueLater researchers also plan to continue to study deeply to assess whether eating kosher kimchi can help prevent tooth decay in the body(BioValleyBioon.com)original origins:Guojian Zhang, Miao Lu, Longmei Liu, et al.
