Abstract:
As probiotics and prebiotics has been proposed to confer numerous health benefits and provide a barrier against a range of infectious disorders, irritable bowel syndrome, diarrheal sicknesses etc. However, the safe delivery of probiotics in human gut in adequate amounts a challenge for food scientists due to the unfavorable conditions of GIT, especially in stomach, which is highly acidic. However, researchers are working on the modern techniques that can be used for safe delivery of probiotics. Discovery of synbiotic food products (food product having both prebiotics and probiotics) is gaining much attention recently due the availability of prebiotics along with probiotics that enhance gut functionality and resulted as a natural cure for various diseases through the synergistic action of probiotic and prebiotics. The synbiotic products enhances the availability of different bioactive compounds and reduces the free radical production in body. As a result, it boosts the immumodulatory components but also reduces the risk of cancer and tumor formation, cardiovascular diseases, irritable bowel syndrome, respiratory problems etc. For optimized results, Fermented and dairy food products can serve as a best vehicle for this synergistic effect.
