  • The nejayote as a culture medium for probiotic bacteria and production of bacteriocins was evaluated.

  • Nejayote of different mills were characterized determined: reducing sugars, total sugars and protein.

  • It was quantified the growth of three probiotic bacteria: Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG and Lactobacillus helveticus

  • The presence of bacteriocins was evaluated with the supernatants of fermentation of three probiotic bacteria.

  • Nejayote can be used for the production of probiotics and bacteriocins.
