Book Chapter Description

Functional foods are defined as foods that have health benefits beyond their inherent nutritional value. The incorporation of probiotics in food products is one of the most popular forms of such products and acceptable to most consumers. In this chapter, various industrial probiotic products are discussed, including the type of microorganisms used and the production process. Details of processing conditions and choice of probiotics for retaining the viability of the microorganism through production are included. Advanced non-food application of probiotics and the potential for such products are also presented.
