Unlock the Power of Biobased Products: Prebiotic Oligosaccharides and Probiotics

The demand for biobased products is skyrocketing, with prebiotic oligosaccharides and probiotics occupying a significant share of the food industry. Although most agro waste is currently utilized for 2G biofuels production, alternative sources such as citrus peel, sugar beet pulp, copra meal, and wheat husk can be explored for prebiotic oligosaccharides production.

What are Prebiotics?

Prebiotics are dietary fibers that selectively ferment the microbes present in the gut, promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria in the intestine and regulating the growth of harmful bacteria. This process is crucial for maintaining gut homeostasis, preventing, and treating gut-related disorders.

The Importance of Nutraceuticals

Nutraceuticals, including prebiotics and probiotics, play a vital role in maintaining gut health, preventing cancer, and modulating the immune system. They also have applications in treating metabolic disorders and promoting oral health. This book highlights the significance of nutraceuticals in modern healthcare and provides insights into the current challenges involved in their formulation and development.

Application of Nanotechnology and Bioinformatics

The book delves into the application of nanotechnology and bioinformatics-based approaches to study the effect of nutraceuticals on oral health and gut microflora. This cutting-edge approach enables researchers to gain a deeper understanding of the intricate relationships between nutraceuticals and the human body.

Target Audience

This comprehensive book is designed for food scientists, biotechnologists, researchers in nutraceuticals and food processing, and professionals in pharmaceutical companies. It serves as a valuable resource for anyone interested in the development and application of nutraceuticals.
