Abstract
⺠Prebiotic effects of diosgenin on lactobacilli were investigated. ⺠Diosgenin restored the diminished density of faecal lactobacilli associated with food allergy in mice. ⺠Diosgenin enhanced the growth of lactobacilli in culture. ⺠Steroidal sapogenins represent a novel class of phytochemicals with prebiotic activity on lactobacilli.
