A fermentation of a milk source with Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis biovar diacetylactis (CNCM No. I-1962) to form a fermented milk product. The fermented milk product has a flavor and aroma. The fermented milk product can be in the form of a powder or a concentrate. The fermented milk product has applications in the food industry.

Disclosed is a composition for promoting absorption of a poorly water-soluble phytochemical which can significantly improve the intake of a phytochemical into a body, especially a migration speed and/or a migration amount of the phytochemical into a blood. A polysaccharide-containing lactic acid bacterial product, which is produced by Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus OLL1251, can significantly enhance the intake of a phytochemical into a body, especially a migration speed and/or a migration amount of the phytochemical into a blood. Thus, the composition for promoting absorption of a phytochemical according to the present invention includes, as an active ingredient, the polysaccharide-containing lactic acid bacterial product. Furthermore, the composition for promoting absorption of a phytochemical is useful as a food additive composition. In addition, a food, or a beverage, or a food or beverage composition to which the composition for promoting absorption of a phytochemical is added can obtain an effect of promoting absorption of phytochemical.

The present invention relates to a method for producing a dairy product using an enzyme having lactase activity.
