Probiotics are live microorganisms which when administered in adequate amount confer a health benefit on the host (FAO 2001). Prebiotics are non-digestible (by the host) food ingredients that have a beneficial effect through their selective metabolism in the intestinal tract. (Gibson, G.R., Probert, H.M., van Loo, J.A.E., Rastall, R.A. and Roberfroid, M.B. 2004. Dietary modulation of the human colonic microbiota: Updating the concept of prebiotics. Nutrition Research Reviews 17, 259-275). |
