Handbook of prebiotics and probiotics ingredients: health benefits and food applications

While it is clear that the combination of pre- and probiotics promotes gastrointestinal health and immunity, it is crucial to find them fully compatible with the formulation, processing, packaging, and distribution of functional foods. These technical difficulties have slowed the progress toward functional foods that take advantage of the benefits of these factors in combination. This comprehensive handbook provides up-to-date biological and physiological research findings on various pre- and probiotic ingredients. International experts discuss safety regulations and a wide range of food applications. An appendix offers food labeling guidelines for global suppliers of these products.
