Abstract

Active probiotic organisms are good bacteria considered to be live micro-organisms that are obtained from fermented foods. Evidence has shown that probiotics are essential in human health. This studys primary objective is to isolate and characterize the active probiotic organisms present in certain fermented food samples. Maize, African oil bean, and castor oil were subjected to analysis. The result found the presence of active probiotic organisms such as Pedioccocus, Lactobacillus, Micrococcus, and Bacillus species. The study concluded that these organisms are responsible for the fermentation of carbohydrates and protein-rich seeds.
