The Functional Foods and Nutraceutical Research Center (FNRC) proudly announces the recent publication of the research paper titled, "Probiotic potential, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties of Lactobacillus spp.isolated from indigenous food plants in Ilocos Norte, Philippines". The study was published in the Scopus-indexed Tropical Journal of Pharmaceutical Research.

The research explored the probiotic potential, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties of four Lactobacillus isolates obtained from indigenous food plants in Ilocos Norte, Philippines. It highlights the potential of Philippine indigenous food plants as valuable sources of non-dairy probiotic strains and contributes to the growing body of knowledge on locally sourced microorganisms with functional and health-related applications.

The research was funded by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED LAKAS) and received institutional support from Mariano Marcos State University, particularly the Functional Foods and Nutraceutical Research Center, Tuklas Lunas Development Center, Center for Cellular and Molecular Medical Research, and Food Innovation Center.
