Vilela Alice, Inês António (eds.) Probiotics, Prebiotics, and Postbiotics in Human Health and Sustainable Food Systems

ITexLi, 2025. — 246 p. — ISBN 085014843X 9780850148435 0850148448 9780850148442 0850148456 9780850148459.This book provides a thorough overview of biotics’ roles in the gut ecosystem, their global market presence, and the exploration of new probiotic species, all while emphasizing sustainability.
Probiotics, prebiotics, and postbiotics are gaining attention for their health benefits and roles in sustainable food systems. These substances interact with gut microbiota to promote health and enhance the nutritional value of foods. Incorporating these elements into food systems can promote sustainability by utilizing locally sourced raw materials and functional foods. Fermented foods rich in probiotics are often made from seasonal ingredients, making them environmentally friendly. Additionally, foods enriched with prebiotics and postbiotics enhance diet quality and support sustainable agriculture. These biotics offer health benefits by improving gut microbiota and immune function, ultimately benefiting public health and environmental sustainability.Role of Probiotics in the Intestinal Ecosystem and the Immune System
