Strain-specific evidence
Research includes in vitro characterisation, THP-1 cell studies, animal models and a randomised, placebo-controlled human study in healthy adults.

01 · Origin + identity
Selected from the living biofilm of a table olive.
LPG1® was isolated from the living epidermal biofilm formed during table-olive fermentation in Seville and selected from a CSIC collection of more than 1,000 microbial isolates. The strain is identified as Lactiplantibacillus pentosus LPG1® and deposited as CECT 31368.

02 · Probiotics + health
A dynamic ecosystem. A strain-specific response.
The gut microbiota is a dynamic community influenced by diet, stress, antibiotics, age, hormonal changes and travel. Probiotics are live microorganisms that, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host. Because effects are strain-specific, LPG1® is presented through its own identity, studies and intended uses.
From supplements to everyday food.
Most commercial probiotics arrive as capsules, tablets or powders. LPG1® opens another route: fortifying and fermenting foods and beverages that already belong in daily life.
Food as a living delivery route03 · Why LPG1®
One strain. Four capabilities that matter.
LPG1® connects strain identity, delivery technology and practical food development.
Protected delivery
A plant-based protein-and-fibre microcapsule, including FOS, is designed to improve viability during thermal processing, storage and gastrointestinal transit.
Food technology
Freeze-dried LPG1® can act as a starter culture for rapid acidification and controlled fermentation in table olives, vegetables and plant-based beverages.
Safety characterisation
Its genome has been sequenced and assessed for virulence, pathogenicity, haemolytic activity and acquired antimicrobial-resistance markers.
EFSA · QPS
Lactiplantibacillus pentosus is evaluated within EFSA’s QPS framework at species level. QPS is a safety-assessment framework, not a product authorisation. Final compliance depends on strain qualifications, formulation, intended use and market.
