Probiotics and Healthy life by Dr.C P PrinceDR.PRINCE C P
This ppt of Dr Prince C P explains the importance of probiotics for healthy life. Probiotics were earlier defined as non-pathogenic microorganisms which when ingested, exert a positive influence on host’s health or physiology.
The latest definition put forward by FDA and WHO jointly is “Live microorganisms which when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit to the host”.
Probiotics are live bacteria or yeasts that are good for the digestive system.
Prebiotics as non-digestible ingredients in the food that can stimulate the activity of desirable microbiota
Probiotics and prebiotics are live microorganisms and non-digestible foods that provide health benefits when consumed. Probiotics are live microorganisms that help establish and maintain a healthy gut microbiome, while prebiotics are non-digestible foods that act as fertilizers to encourage the growth of good bacteria. The document discusses the differences between probiotics and prebiotics, examples of each, their mechanisms of action in the body, ideal properties of probiotic strains, and their applications and benefits in aquaculture.

Lactic acid bacteria and probiotics provide several health benefits to humans and animals. Probiotics are defined as live microorganisms that confer health benefits when consumed in adequate amounts. Lactic acid bacteria are used widely in fermented foods and probiotic supplements due to their ability to ferment sugars into lactic acid. When selecting probiotic strains, factors like safety, functionality, and ability to survive processing and storage must be considered. Common health benefits of probiotics include maintaining intestinal balance and protecting against gastrointestinal disorders.
This document discusses probiotics and their presence in cottage cheese. It defines probiotics as live microorganisms that provide health benefits when consumed. Cottage cheese can contain beneficial probiotic bacteria like Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidus. These probiotics lower gut pH and support digestive and immune health. The document outlines various health benefits of consuming probiotics daily through foods like cottage cheese.

synbiotics babar khan university of swatBabar khan
This document discusses synbiotics, which contain both probiotics and prebiotics to improve the friendly gut flora. The gastrointestinal tract contains many bacteria, including Bifidobacteria which need specific nutrients. Synbiotics encourage probiotic growth by providing needed substrates like fructooligosaccharides combined with Bifidobacteria or glactooligosaccharides combined with Bifidobacteria. Synbiotics supplements provide health benefits such as fighting pathogens, modulating immunity, reducing diarrhea and cholesterol, and aiding mineral absorption.
Probiotics and prebiotics are live microorganisms and non-digestible foods, respectively, that provide health benefits when consumed. Probiotics include bacteria like Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, while prebiotics are fibers that feed beneficial gut bacteria. Together, they can balance intestinal microflora, enhance digestion and nutrient absorption, and reduce symptoms of conditions like diarrhea and irritable bowel syndrome. The document discusses the history of these concepts and provides definitions, examples, suppliers, and safety and labeling considerations for probiotic and prebiotic products.
At the start of the 20th century, Russian noble prize winner and father of modern immunology, Elie Metchnikoff, a scientist at the Pasteur institute, was the first conceptualize “probiotics”.
In 1907 Metchnokoff proposed that the acid producing bacteria in fermented milk products could prevent “fouling” in the large intestine and if consumed regularly, lead to a longer, healthier life.
In early 1930’s, in Japan, Minoru shirota developed a fermented milk product called Yakult (probiotic yogurt like product made by fermenting a mixture of skimmed milk with a special strain of Lactobacillus casei shirota).
Probiotic term coined in 1965 by Lilly and StillwellThe human gastrointestinal (GI) tract is a highly specialised ecosystem that has evolved over
time, both physiologically and microbiologically. At least in part, this is a consequence of the
host and environmental pressures that it must counteract in order to maintain eubiosis. The
GI tract is one of the most diverse and metabolically active organs in the human body. The
human gut and its microbiota cannot be realistically considered as separate entities as they
represent a dynamic biological system that has co-evolved from birth. The human GI tract
is composed of highly adapted regions for mediation of its diverse functions, many of which
impact markedly upon host health and welfare. Physiological considerations in each unique
region infl uence the degree and type of colonisation and initial colonisers also modify the
physiological conditions therein. This results in the development of distinct microhabitats
along the length of the GI tract, which infl uence metabolism, protection and immune stimulation.
Such effects are both local and systemic as the GI tract is connected to the vascular,
lymphatic and nervous systems. The ability of the gut to sustain its benefi cial microbiota,
against harmful or opportunistic microbiota, in a desirable community structure, is critical
for host health and reduction of disease risk. The focus of this chapter is to discuss how the
complex interplays between the human GI tract and its indigenous microbiota affect host
health and how certain benefi cial microbial species, with their potential for manipulation,
are crucial to this processThe human gastrointestinal tract is sterile up until birth, when microbial colonisation begins
during the delivery process. The inoculum may be largely derived either from the mother’s
vaginal or faecal fl ora (in a conventional birth) or from the environment (in a caesarean
delivery).Hence, the microbiota that colonise the newborn tract are acquired post-natally.
This is of extreme importance in the choice of delivery, as newborns delivered by caesarean
section are exposed to a different microbiota than that of a vaginal delivery. Bacterial
populations develop progressively during the fi rst few days of life; facultative anaerobes
predominate initially and create a reduced environment that allows for the growth of strict
This document defines probiotics as live bacteria and yeasts that are beneficial for digestive health. Probiotics colonize the intestinal tract and help fight disease-causing bacteria. They are live microorganism supplements or food products that improve health. Probiotics have advantages like improving mineral absorption, relieving diarrhea and constipation, preventing infections, and supporting the immune system. Common probiotic organisms include Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, Streptococcus thermophilus, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
use and scope of preprobiotics in various diseases. it also includes the basic mechanism by which probiotics would contribute to disease prevention as well as cure. this presentation would provide the basic idea about the history, mechanism and the role of synbiotic therapy in various diseases.
The document discusses probiotics, their history, functions, and food sources. It begins by defining probiotics as live microorganisms that provide health benefits when consumed in adequate amounts. The concept of probiotics was first proposed in the early 20th century by Elie Metchnikoff, who suggested certain bacteria in fermented milk could promote intestinal and overall health. The document then outlines the characteristics, mechanisms of action, advantages, and functions of probiotic consumption before providing examples of probiotic foods and the probiotic strains they contain.
Probiotics and prebiotics can beneficially affect the host's intestinal microflora. Probiotics are live microorganisms that improve intestinal balance, while prebiotics are non-digestible fibers that promote the growth of beneficial microbes. Examples of probiotics include Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, while prebiotics include fructooligosaccharides. Consuming probiotics and prebiotics can promote a healthy gut microbiome and provide various health benefits.
Probiotics and prebiotics are live microorganisms and non-digestible foods respectively that provide health benefits. Probiotics include Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, and Saccharomyces that help maintain a healthy gut microbiome. They produce inhibitory compounds, compete for nutrients and adhesion sites, and enhance the immune system. Probiotics are found in fermented foods and supplements. They can help treat diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome, and other conditions.
Probiotics are live microorganisms that provide health benefits when consumed. This document discusses the history of probiotics beginning with Nobel prize winner Elie Metchnikoff's introduction of the concept in the early 20th century. It then provides details on common probiotic microorganisms including Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, and Saccharomyces boulardii. The document discusses the modes of action of probiotics and their health benefits such as treating diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome, and urinary tract infections. It also covers the use of probiotics in oral health and commercial oral probiotic products.
This document discusses intestinal beneficial bacteria and their health effects. It covers:
- The microbiology of the human GI tract and the roles of beneficial bacteria species.
- Characteristics of beneficial bacteria like Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium and how they can provide health benefits.
- Conditions that claimed health effects include lactose digestion, cholesterol reduction, reducing colon cancer risk, and improving intestinal and immune health.
- Considerations for research on probiotics like bacterial strain selection and dosage. Current issues include unsubstantiated health claims and questions about pathogenic potential in some cases. The concepts of prebiotics and synbiotics that support beneficial bacteria are also introduced.
Probiotics, prebiotics, and synbiotics were defined. Probiotics are live microorganisms that provide health benefits when consumed. Prebiotics are non-digestible fibers that promote the growth of beneficial bacteria. Synbiotics combine probiotics and prebiotics. The document discussed the history of probiotic research from Metchnikoff's observations of Bulgarian longevity to current probiotic foods and strains. Potential health benefits of probiotics include managing diarrhea, allergies, and cholesterol, as well as supporting the immune system. Factors like processing, storage and the host's health impact probiotic survival.
Probiotics are live microorganisms that provide health benefits when consumed. The document defines probiotics and discusses their mechanisms of action, health benefits, common types found in foods, and uses in treating various conditions like diarrhea, IBS, and H. pylori infections. Key points are that probiotics can help restore gut balance, produce antibacterial substances, and improve immune function. Common probiotic bacteria are lactobacilli and bifidobacteria.

This document discusses the use of probiotics and prebiotics in food industries. It defines probiotics as live microorganisms that provide health benefits when consumed, and prebiotics as non-digestible compounds that stimulate the growth of beneficial bacteria. The document outlines the characteristics and uses of probiotics and prebiotics in food products. It describes how probiotics can be used in dairy, cereals, fruits and vegetables, and for enzyme and organic acid production. Prebiotics are discussed as dietary fibers that selectively promote beneficial bacteria. Their use in foods, cheese, dairy beverages and cereals is covered. Advantages and disadvantages of both probiotics and prebiotics are also summarized.
This is a presentation on probiotic foods, where I have described what probiotic food is, their mechanism of action, adequacy, and some popular forms of probiotic foods present in the market.
Probiotics have been shown to positively impact fish metabolism in several ways:
1) Fish fed diets supplemented with certain probiotic bacteria like Bacillus subtilis and Lactococcus lactis showed higher growth rates, better feed conversion ratios, improved nutrient digestibility, and higher protein efficiency.
2) Probiotics can improve the immune system of fish by stimulating both specific and non-specific immune responses and increasing immunoglobulin cells and granulocytes.
3) Probiotics lead to higher quality fish with improved protein and lipid content in the body as well as increased fat content in the carcass.
This document provides an overview of probiotics, focusing on the bacteria Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. It discusses the history of probiotics, why they are important for human health, examples of foods containing probiotics, and their mechanisms of action. The document also covers commercial probiotic strains, genetically engineered probiotics, prebiotics, and Indian probiotic manufacturers.
