Abstract:A probiotic yogurt made from the pulp of the tumbo fruit (Passiflora tripartita Kunth) possesses antioxidant capacity, physicochemical and microbiological quality and stability; however, it needs to be safe for later studies of clinical functionality. The present study would be considered as a precursor to the preclinical safety evaluation of a functional food by in vivo toxicological testing. The study aimed to evaluate the preclinical safety of yogurt made from the pulp of the tumbo fruit (P. tripartita). Th… Show more
