Lactobacillus casei

Lactobacillus casei is a type of bacteria commonly found in dairy products like yogurt and cheese. It is known as a probiotic, which means it is a good bacterium that can be beneficial to our health, particularly for the digestive system.

This bacterium is usually produced through fermentation. During this process, specific strains of lactobacillus casei are introduced to milk or other dairy products, where they break down the sugars in the milk and produce lactic acid. This helps in creating the characteristic tangy flavor of fermented dairy products.

Lactobacillus casei often appears on food labels for its probiotic properties. It can help improve gut health and digestion. You can find this ingredient in various dairy foods like yogurt, kefir, and some types of cheese. It's added to these products to enhance their nutritional value and promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in our gut.
