BACKGROUND Critical illness is characterized by a loss of commensal flora and an overgrowth of potentially pathogenic bacteria, leading to a high susceptibility to nosocomial infections. Probiotics are living non-pathogenic microorganisms, which may protect the gut barrier, attenuate pathogen overgrowth, decrease bacterial translocation and prevent infection. The purpose of this updated systema...

Synbiotic ice cream is a functional food that consisting of probiotics and prebiotics. The addition purple sweet potato paste can be utilized as natural prebiotic source in making synbiotic cream. aim this research was to determine the effect on number lactic acid bacteria, pH, overrun. This conducted experimentally using completely randomized design with 4 concentration levels (0%, 5%, 10%, 15...

Butyric acid (C4) and pyroglutamic (pGlu) exert significant beneficial effects on human health. In this study, the influence of probiotics (Lactobacillus acidophilus Bifidobacteria) and/or prebiotics (1 3% inulin fructo-oligosaccharides) content C4 pGlu in yoghurt during shelf-life period was evaluated. The contents were determined probiotic, prebiotic synbiotic yoghurts 30 days storage at 4 °C...

Abstract Nile tilapia is recognized as a suitable candidate for intensive farming and sustainability of the aquaculture industry.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of algal fucoidan and probiotic Bacillus subtilison growth performance, blood metabolites and intestinal morphology in broiler chickens. A total of 250 one-day-old Ross 360 male broiler chickens were randomly distributed into 5 treatments (6 replication pens/treatment) and reared for 42 d. The 5 dietary treatments were as follow: 1) a corn-soybea...
