Probiotics, Prebiotics, and Postbiotics in Human Health and Sustainable Food Systems

About this book

Probiotics, prebiotics, and postbiotics are gaining attention for their health benefits and roles in sustainable food systems. These substances interact with gut microbiota to promote health and enhance the nutritional value of foods. Incorporating these elements into food systems can promote sustainability by utilizing locally sourced raw materials and functional foods. Fermented foods rich in probiotics are often made from seasonal ingredients, making them environmentally friendly. Additionally, foods enriched with prebiotics and postbiotics enhance diet quality and support sustainable agriculture. These biotics offer health benefits by improving gut microbiota and immune function, ultimately benefiting public health and environmental sustainability. This book provides a thorough overview of biotics' roles in the gut ecosystem, their global market presence, and the exploration of new probiotic species, all while emphasizing sustainability.
