How do you utilise probiotics?
Fermentation is a chemical process done by bacteria, yeast or other microorganisms which changes organic substances into simpler substances. Fermentation methods have been utilized to make nutritious food products for thousands of years. The use of food cultures to preserve or change the texture, colour, or flavour attributes of a product is known as food fermentation. Making cheese and curd is one of the most common examples of fermentation known to humans for many years. However with the advancement in technology certain artificial fermentation techniques are also discovered which help ferment food faster.
Probiotics are typically characterized as microbial food supplements that provide consumers with health benefits. The majority of probiotics are lactic acid-producing bacteria and are typically ingested in the form of yoghurt, fermented milk, or other fermented foods. Some of the benefits of lactic acid bacteria consumption include-; improving intestinal tract health; boosting the immune system, synthesizing and increasing nutrient bioavailability; reducing symptoms of lactose intolerance and allergy in susceptible individuals, and lowering the risk of certain cancers.
Probiotics can include a wide range of microorganisms. Bacteria from the Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium genera are the most frequent. Other bacteria, as well as yeasts like Saccharomyces boulardii, can be utilized as probiotics.
