Studies have revealed more positive effects of berries' components over the years, representing a growing trend in their consumption. Phenolic compounds, such as anthocyanins, flavonols, and phenolic acids occur different concentrations depending on berry type. Significant trends to exploit beneficial compounds were collected, with mostly novel environmentally friendly techniques, ultrasound, microwave, high-pressure technologies. Abundant present berries (raspberry, blueberry, goji berry,...
This study aimed to optimize the spray drying process for microencapsulation of Lactobacillus acidophilus La-5, using inulin as coating agent increase its gastrointestinal survival. Moreover, survival microencapsulated and free microorganism incorporated or not in a synbiotic mousse vitro simulated conditions was evaluated. Microencapsulation were optimized at 80 mL/min, 82%, 10%, feed flow, aspiration rate, concentration, respectively. Subsequently, diet produced with addition both...
Several studies are contributing to the better understanding of impact probiotics and prebiotics on modulation intestinal microbiota subsequent effects host’s health. This review aimed discuss results using different experimental models evaluate supplementation with and/or risk factors related metabolic syndrome (MetS). A daily regarding mechanisms involved in immune system patients suffering from this disorder is necessary establish efficiency possible biomarkers that could contribute...
Maternal bacteria are shared with infants via breastfeeding. Prebiotics modulate the gut microbiota, promoting health benefits. We investigated whether maternal diet supplementation a prebiotic (fructooligosaccharides, FOS) could influence milk microbiota. Twenty-eight lactating women received 4.5 g of fructooligosaccharides + 2 maltodextrin (FOS group) and twenty-five (placebo for 20 days. Breast-milk samples were taken before after intervention. The DNA from was used 16S rRNA sequencing....
