Comprehensive Substrate-Based Exploration of Probiotics From Undistilled Traditional Fermented Alcoholic Beverage 'Lugri'.

ABSTRACT: Cereal-based traditional fermented beverages (TFBs) are prevalent among India's ethnic community, and lugri is one such TFB popular among the tribal people of the Lahaul valley in North-Western Himalaya. Previous studies have reported that lugri harbors probiotics and contains amino acids and vitamins but comprehensive substrate-specific exploration of lugri for probiotic attributes is unexplored. The present study selected three substrate-based lugri (wheat, rice, and barley) to study their biochemical properties and explore potential probiotics. This study screened the best probiotic strains for antioxidant studies and the fermentative process. A biochemical analysis determined that rice-based lugri had a higher alcohol content, electric conductivity, c
