weight, against diabetic and cholesterol-bringing down impacts. In the present study as per the protocol provided in the
cholesterol estimating kit initial cholesterol values were determined. After completion of incubation period the amount of
cholesterol was estimated. In this study we investigated the cholesterol-lowering potential of LAB strains, out of 6 LAB
strains S.lactis showed highest percentage of reduction in cholesterol level.
