Fermentation, Volume 6, Issue 4

2020 December - 33 articles

Cover Story: Probiotics and prebiotics are microbiota-management instruments for improving human health. The main source of probiotics is fermented dairy products; however, there is a need for novel and non-dairy probiotics, due to the increasing number of lactose-intolerant people combined with the adverse effect of cholesterol contained in fermented dairy foods, as well as the increasing number of strict vegetarians. In this review, we describe gut-derived effects in humans of microorganisms isolated from wine and other non-dairy fermented beverages. Moreover, wine and other beverages may also be a source of prebiotics such as polyphenols. View this paper
