Consumers are becoming more and more interested in foods that have
a health benefit beyond basic nutrition. This is leading to the
introduction of several probiotic and prebiotic containing foods in
the marketplace. New practices are now being adopted by the food
industry to develop and promote these types of functional foods
with a greater shelf life. Prebiotics (inulin, gum acacia and
honey) are foods or supplements that encourage the growth of "good"
or "friendly" bacteria i.e. Lactobacillus which have beneficial
effects during conditions like aging, gastrointestinal disorders,
yeast infections, diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure,
immune system slumps, and may be even colon cancer risk. In the
human body, prebiotics nourish the microflora (probiotics) and
encourage them to work more efficiently, keeping the human body
healthy and strong. This monograph recapitulated practical
approaches related to prebiotics as potential substrates for lactic
cultures. The future of prebiotics remains extremely positive, with
many sectors now reaping the benefits.
