Unlock the Potential of Biobased Products: Prebiotic Oligosaccharides and Probiotics

The demand for biobased products is rapidly increasing, with prebiotic oligosaccharides and probiotics occupying a significant share of the food industry. Interestingly, agro waste, such as citrus peel, sugar beet pulp, copra meal, and wheat husk, can be repurposed for the production of prebiotic oligosaccharides, which are currently being utilized for 2G biofuels production.

The Importance of Prebiotics in Gut Health

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 highlights their crucial role in maintaining gut homeostasis, preventing, and treating gut-related disorders.

Nutraceuticals: The Key to Better Health

This book puts the spotlight on the significance of nutraceuticals (prebiotics and probiotics) in our overall health. They have been found to have anti-cancer properties, act as immune-modulatory agents, and even help treat metabolic disorders. The application of nanotechnology and bioinformatics-based approaches has also enabled the precise study of nutraceuticals’ effects on oral health and gut microflora.

Who Will Benefit from This Book?

Food scientists, biotechnologists, researchers in nutraceuticals and food processing research companies, nutraceutical/supplement product developers, and pharmaceutical companies will find this book a valuable resource.
