A seaweed contains components that feed intestinal bacteria, and its relationship with obesity has also been suggested. Recently, probiotic products containing Lactobacillus species and prebiotics containing ingredients that feed the Lactobacillus have been developed. However, the effect of aqueous extracts of the seaweed on probiotics has not been examined. In this study, we investigated the effect of seaweed (Mozuku) extracts on growth of the Lactobacillus in probiotics. As a result, it was shown that the mozuku water extract has the effect of growing the Lactobacillus contained in the probiotics. The results of this study suggest that there is a relationship between BMI, frequency of seaweed intake and the gene mutation of β3ADR, and that this can contribute to the added value of food resources by using seaweed ingredients in probiotic products.
