Evaluating Oral Probiotics and Prebiotics reviews emerging applications of new probiotic strains, postbiotics, and production of key synbiotic generations. The book discusses successes and failures of viable probiotic ingestion, new trends and strains including genetically engineered probiotics, assessment of nonviable probiotics (postbiotics) and microflora benefits of prebiotic and synbiotic ingestion over probiotics.
- Presents industrial applications and challenges of probiotics in drugs,
- supplements, and foods
- Compares benefits and effectiveness of prebiotics verses probiotics• Discusses microflora benefits of combining probiotics and prebiotics
- Highlights new applications and emerging generations of probiotic strains
- Evaluates future trends in oral probiotic research
