Probiotics for Human Nutrition :
Probiotics: the term “probiotics”, as an antonym to the term “antibiotic” was proposed in 1965 and was defined as “live microbial food supplement, which beneficially affects the host by improving its intestinal microbial balance”. The concept is not new. At the turn of the century, Metchnikoff suggested that the consumption of live microbes in fermented milk products maintains this balance betwen pathogenic and non-pathogenic bacteria, at least in part, and that explains why certain ethnic groups lived longer.
Prebiotics: over the last few years, the concept of “prebiotics” has ariesen. This term generally refers to non-digestible substances that preferentially enhances the growth of non-pathogenic stains, which may have a probiotic effect.
Consumers have been attracted for many years by the properties of certain lactic and acid bacteria and bifidobacteria as major biological regulators of the gastrointestinal tract.
The healthy foods and bioproducts made by Lactina Ltd. Are new generation of probiotics and prebiotics containing stains of lactic acid bacteria isolated from natural resources that are selected according to their functional characteristics.
Lactobacillus Bulgaricus has a special role among lactic acid bacteria with probiotic activity due to its unique properties.
The possibillity to control all biotechnological processes, lactic acid fermentation and automated specific rate of freeze-drying is a guarantee for permanent quality of the end product.
