CHAPTER ONE
1.0 Introduction
Pribiotics are food ingredients that induce growth or activity of beneficial microorganisms (e.g. bacteria and fungi, (Hutkins et al., 2016). The most common example is in the gastrointenstinal tracts, where prebiotic can alter the composition of organisms in the gut microbiome.
In diet, prebiotics are typically non-digestible fiber compounds that pass undigested through the upper part of the gastrointestinal tract and stimulate the growth or activity of advantageous bacteria that colonize the large bowel by acting as substrate for them (Sanders et al., 2016). As a functional food component, prebiotics, like probiotics are conceptually intermediate between foods and drugs. Depending on the jurisdiction, they typically receive and intermediate level of regulatory scruting, in particular of the health claims made concerning them. (Hutkins et al., 2016).
