Loganic acid is an ridoid glycoside
found in various plants, having anti-inflammatory activities. In the present
study, loganic acid was isolated from Vinca soneri, used in folk medicine due to laxative,
diuretic and antipyretic effects. Probiotics, a group of functional foods, are
microorganisms that have positive effects on human health when taken into the
body in the required amounts. The most studied and known probiotics are Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus rhamnosus. These bacteria
are used as “starters” in various foods or for different formulations, as well
as food supplements. The aim of this study was to investigate the in vitro effects of loganic acid on Lactobacillus acidophilus LA-5 and Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG. Surface
hydrophobicity and auto-aggregation are important functions for a probiotic
bacterium and the results indicated that loganic acid can modulate the
probiotic functions, thus there is a potential for beneficial health benefits
of combinations of loganic acid and probiotic strains.
