Terebinth ( <scp> <i>Pistacia terebinthus</i> </scp> ) seed milk as a growth medium and delivery matrix for <scp> <i>Lactobacillus acidophilus</i> </scp> and <scp> <i>Lactiplantibacillus plantarum</i> </scp>

Terebinth milk supports the growth, survival, and stress resistance of probiotic bacteria, particularly Lactiplantibacillus plantarum. These results suggest that terebinth milk is a promising carrier matrix for plant-based probiotic formulations and could serve as a novel base for functional, non-dairy probiotic beverages. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry.
