Prebiotics in Health
Chingriyo Raihing, Uma Mageshwari S
Abstract :
Prebiotics are selectively fermented ingredients that allow specific changes, both in the composition and/
or activity in the gastrointestinal microbiota that confers benefits upon host well–being and health. Studes suggest that they reduce the risk of obesity by promoting satiety and weight loss. Prebiotics increases the bioavailability and uptake of,food minerals. Additional research is needed to define the relationship between the consumption
of different prebiotics and improvement of human health has to be explored. The knowledge on recent trends in prebiotic production from new novel sources, from food industrial wastes, prebiotic supplementation in food, commercially
available prebiotic agents, prebiotic production by various techniques and future perspectives should be well understood to use prebiotics to improve our health. Understanding of the effects of prebiotics on health and disease could
assist in surmounting regulatory issues related to prebiotic use.
