Handbook of Prebiotics
Glenn R. Gibson, Marcel Roberfroidhealth, we must have appropriate populations of positive microflora.
Prebiotics are functional foods that improve health by fortifying
indigenous probiotics within the gut. This fast-growing area of
nutrition and microbiology is rapidly amassing data and answering many
questions about the necessity and benefit of such functional foods.
Gathering contributions from leading experts in a range of disciplines, Handbook of Prebiotics presents a balanced view of the current knowledge in many different areas of the field. It discusses concept, definition and criteria for classification of a food component as prebiotics
It then describes interactions with gut microbiota. Highlighting
varying levels of evidence and agreement, the book presents current
arguments for and against prebiotic intake. Contributions discuss the
biomechanics of prebiotics and their effects on immune status, serum
lipid concentrations, mineral bioavailability, and satiety modulation.
They consider the health implications of prebiotic intake such as
reduced incidence of gastroenteritis and chronic pathogenic gut
disorders, including intestinal cancers and inflammatory bowel diseases.
Providing well-rounded coverage, the book explores the varying
effects of prebiotics in different populations and age groups such as
infants and the elderly, as well as livestock and pets. The final
chapters describe food avenues and the safety implications for prebiotic
use. Spanning several disciplines including food science, nutrition,
microbiology, biotechnology, and the health sciences, this seminal work
makes a point to include sound research science and well-balanced views
on the potential of prebiotics for promoting good health.
