There is increasing awareness that the human gut microflora plays a critical role in maintaining host health, both within the gastrointestinal tract and, through the absorption of metabolites, systemically. An optimal gut microflora... more
A number of studies involving the feeding of probiotics and prebiotics to infants have been published over the last decade. These studies have examined a wide range of health outcomes, including growth and safety, prophylaxis and... more
Diabetes mellitus is considered a global health problem which affects all sections of society, creating health and economyhardships. A large number of studies have identified risk factors that cause metabolic disorders such as genetic... more
Bifidobacterium bifidum and Bifidobacterium infantis were added to mayonnaise as either free cells or encapsulated. The survival of bifidobacteria and their effect on mayonnaise quality were evaluated. The viability of free cells... more
Obesity is now classically characterized by a cluster of several metabolic disorders, and by a low grade inflammation. The evidence that the gut microbiota composition can be different between healthy and or obese and type 2 diabetic... more
Background: Dietary amylose resists enzymatic digestion, thereby providing a substrate for microbial fermentation that stimulates proliferation of beneficial microbiota and production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in the large... more
This study aims to investigate the effect of fructooligosaccharide (FOS) (0.5, 1, 2, 3, and 4%) supplementation on the growth and survival of Bifidobacterium breve and Bifidobacterium longum in glucose, fructose, lactose, and sucrose (2,... more
The 16S rRNA gene is conserved across all bacteria and as such is routinely targeted in PCR surveys of bacterial diversity. PCR primer design aims to amplify as many different 16S rRNA gene sequences from as wide a range of organisms as... more
Probiotics means "for life". Probiotics are naturally occurring beneficial organisms that aid in digestion and inhibit disease-causing bacteria in the intestine. Due to the beneficial impact of microorganism used as Probiotics;... more
Objective. To determine egg production in laying hens treated with oligofructose from agave. Materials and methods. Eighteen weeks old Hy-line W-36 hens (n=300) were distributed randomly into 3 treatment groups: no feed supplementation... more
Probiotics means “for life”. Probiotics are naturally occurring beneficial organisms that aid in digestion and inhibit disease-causing bacteria in the intestine. Due to the beneficial impact of microorganism used as Probiotics; during the... more

This review summarizes the nature, types, and properties of inulin polysaccharides and their applications as prebiotic dietary fibers. Natural food and commercial plant sources of inulin and extraction methods are presented. The... more
In order to gain insight into the effects of human breast milk on the development of the intestinal bifidobacteria and associated health effects, the transcriptome of Bifidobacterium longum LMG 13197 grown in breast milk and formula milk... more
Although their exact function remains enigmatic, bifidobacteria are among the first colonizers of the newborn infant gut and further develop into abundant communities, notably in response to diet. Therefore, the transcriptional responses... more
