Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is well known that microbes, including probiotics, play an essential role in human life, maintaining people’s health status. In recent decades, thanks to the advanced development of related fields such as food microbiology, materials science, fermentation technology, gut, food, raw material microbiome, etc., increasingly new probiotic microbes were isolated and investigated together with innovative formulation and delivery methods. As many innovative results related to probiotics have been accumulated in these different areas, this Special Issue cordially invites worldwide researchers to share and contribute papers covering the following:
- Sources of probiotics—isolation and identification of new microbes with probiotic potential and new probiotic strains;
- Formulation technology for probiotic microorganisms—the use of probiotics in food applications;
- Health benefits of probiotic organisms;
- Emerging probiotic delivery systems.
