The anti microbial activity of  cabbage juice probioticated using different  strains of  Lactobacillus kefiranofaciens, candida kefir and Saccharomyces boluradii. Anti microbical  activites of synbiotic juice could differ in their antagonistic activities against diarrhoeal causing organism which could be due to the metabolite secreted by the lactic acid bacteriocin special type of organic acids and added inulin as a prebiotic and for food preservation.
