The book highlights the importance of prebiotics, probiotics and
synbiotics in the signalling mechanism between gut microbiota and
brain, also referred to as the gut-brain axis. A stable gut
microbiota is essential for normal gut physiology and overall
health, since it assists in proper signalling along the brain-gut
axis. The book describes how the cross talks between gut microbiota
and brain, not only regulate gastro-intestinal functions but also
ensure proper functioning of cognitive behaviour and immunological
functions. The various chapters describe probiotic microorganisms
that colonize gastrointestinal tract and provide an array of health
benefits to the host. It further elaborates about certain
non-digestible oligosaccharides (prebiotics) are easily fermented
by specialist microbes in the gut, to produce health-promoting
metabolites and inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria. This
book is useful for students, researchers and scientists in the
field of microbiology, food science and nutrition. It is also meant
for industry experts involved in developing nutraceuticals.
