Abstract
Ubi Kemili or scientifically known as Coleus tuberosus is a tuber that were used in this study. Tuber crops make a major contribution to the diet of many impoverished people mainly in tropical countries. This kind of crops is usually neglected due to their negative image as poor people;s food. Tubers are consumed as a cheap source of dietary energy either as a basic source or as a supplement to cereals. In addition it contains several types of bioactive compounds which exhibit the medicinal properties of this plant. One of the main compounds that contribute to their medicinal properties is the polysaccharide. Polysaccharides play an important role in carrying biological information due to their functional variability. Recent studies on polysaccharides have showed many interesting findings. Hence this study tries to discover the prebiotic potential of the polysaccharide extracted from this tuber plant towards selected intestinal bacteria. Growth of Lactobacillus acidophilus ATCC 4356 B. longum BB536 and B. animalis ATCC 15700 in TPY media supplemented with inulin and crude polysaccharides from Coleus tuberosus Ubi Kemili were investigated in this study. Based on the study we found that crude polysaccharide from Coleus tuberosus Ubi Kemili was able to enhance the growth of three selected bacteria. B. longum BB536 grew better in the TPY media supplemented by the crude polysaccharide followed by B. animalis ATCC 15700 and L. acidophilus ATCC 4356.
