The invention relates to the technical field of microbial culture and application, and discloses a high-density culture method of 
lactobacillus helveticus, and preparation and application of high-activity bacterial 
powder, aiming at the problems of 
low activity and long culture period of 
lactic acid bacteria in the prior art. The high-density culture method comprises the following steps of (1) inoculating a 
lactobacillus helveticus strain into a seed culture medium for activation, performing culturing to obtain a seed solution; and (2) inoculating the seed solution into a 
lactobacillus helveticus high-density 
fermentation culture medium, and carrying out 
fermentation culture at 35-43 DEG C under an anaerobic stirring condition to obtain the viable 
bacteria fermentation liquor after the fermentation is finished. The fermentation liquor obtained by the method is applied to preparation of high-activity 
lactobacillus helveticus powder. A high-density whey proliferation culture medium is provided, and 
lactobacillus helveticus WHH2580 is subjected to high-density culture, so that a large number of thalli can be obtained. By adopting an optimized freeze-
drying protective agent, the 
survival rate of thalli is greatly increased, the high-activity 
lactobacillus helveticus powder is prepared, and the preservation period of the freeze-dried powder is prolonged.
