Number of pages656 Over the last few decades the prevalence of studies about probiotics strains has dramatically grown in most regions of the world. Probiotics are specific strains of microorganisms, which when served to human or animals in proper amount, have a beneficial effect, improving health...
consumer demand for favorable bacteria, as they link good digestive and immunehealth to probiotics. A strong competition modeled by probiotic food and beverages, such as probiotic drinks, yogurt, and bars, among others in the supermarkets, has intensified the sales of the market studied. Get ...
Food fermentation has a major influence on the physical properties and potential health effects of many foods, especially milk and plant-based foods8. Many fermentations are mediated by lactic acid bacteria, which can produce a range of cellular structures and metabolites that have been ...
Probiotic Aquaculture Lactic acid bacteria Bacillus sp 1. Introduction Today, aquaculture is the fastest growing food-producing sector in the world, with an average annual growth rate of 8.9% since 1970, compared to only 1.2% for capture fisheries and 2.8% for terrestrial farmed meat production sy...
Therefore, foods with prebiotics should have certain properties, such as specificity in relation to the bacteria to be targeted in the colon, the ability to increase the quality of the micro- flora benefiting the host and not be susceptible to absorp- tion and hydrolysis in the upper digestive...
Microbiota is a term coined to describe the population of bacteria, viruses and fungi that inhabit in symbiosis within a living host. A connection between unbalanced microbiota and chronic kidney disease has been established. In these patients, high levels of urea reach the intestine promoting the ...
Probiotics bacteria also enhance production of low molecular weight antibacterial substances produced by epithelial cells and production of short chain fatty acids, the main energy source for colonocytes. This maintains the integrity of colon mucosa [19, 23–26]. Prebiotics are resistant to digestive...
associated with secretion of peptides or molecules which enables them to compete within the complex gut ecosystems. These molecules may protect the host against infectious bacteria and favor the survival of commensal bacteria [13]. A list of bacteria with antimicrobial properties is presented in ...
probiotics bind to TLR2 and TLR4 first that SARS-CoV-2, and thus theLrimpairs the recognization of SARS-CoV-2 through of TLR2 an TLR4 located in the cell membrane, which result in the reduction of cytokins storm. Recently, some authors have showed that binding of probiotic bacteria to ...
On the basis of the GRAS status of dairy propionibacteria and the positive results obtained by us and other authors, further studies are encouraged in order to select the appropriate strains for developing new functional foods that include these bacteria for human and animal nutrition.Gabriela ...
