Abstract

Probiotics have been defined as “living microorganisms, which upon ingestion exert health benefits beyond inherent general nutrition”. Prebiotics are defined as short-chain carbohydrates, which are not digested by enzymes in the digestive system, which selectively stimulate the growth and activities of specific bacteria in the gut. Nano particles Ag and TiO have been shown to have wide applications in medicine and food industry. We investigated the antimicrobial activity of Ag and TiO nano particles on three species of i.e. ATCC 3939 ATCC 8014 and ATCC 9338 in the presence and absence of Raffinose, Lactulose and Inulin, respectively. Result showed that nano silver particles decreased 85%, 85% and 71% of and respectively after 48 hour and decreased percentages of and that were 16%, 64% and 4% in the presence of the prebiotics and nano TiO particles decreased 59%, 85% and 61% number of and , respectively after 48 h and decreased percentages of and were 16% and 2% and 4% in the presence of these prebiotics.
