The application of processing waste by-products along with probiotics is an interesting choice to confer potential functional aspects food products. This study was designed investigate the nutritional capacity freeze-dried mango peel powder (MPP) and banana (BPP) in presence a mixture three probiotic species (1% each (Lacticaseibacillus casei (431®), Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus (LGG®) Bifidoba...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a synbiotic containing Lactobacillus acidophilus ATCC 4962, fructooligosaccharide, inulin and mannitol on plasma lipid profiles and erythrocyte membrane properties in hypercholesterolaemic pigs on high- and low-fat diets. Twenty-four white male Landrace pigs were randomly allocated to four treatment groups for 8 weeks (n 6). Treatment factors ...

BACKGROUND HIV-infection results in damage and dysfunction of the gastrointestinal system. HIV enteropathy includes pronounced CD4+ T-cell loss, increased intestinal permeability, and microbial translocation that promotes systemic immune activation, which is implicated in disease progression. A synbiotic is the combination of probiotics and prebiotics that could improve gut barrier function. Ou...

BACKGROUND This research was to examine the effects of synbiotic intake on minerals, liver enzymes, and blood pressure in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). METHODS This randomized, cross-over clinical trial was performed among 62 diabetic patients. Persons were randomly assigned to intake either a synbiotic (n = 62) or a control food (n = 62) for 6 weeks. A 3-week washout period was applie...

AIM Infant colic is a frequent problem affecting up to 10-30% of infants in first 3 months of life. Results from previous trials have shown that manipulation of gut microbiota can lead to symptomatic improvements. In a randomised clinical trial, we aimed to determine efficacy of synbiotic in reducing average infant crying time at day 7 and day 30 after starting intervention. METHODS Fifty bre...

Synbiotic intake may efficiently restore the balance of gut microbiota and improve gastrointestinal functions. The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of a synbiotic in patients with slow transit constipation. A total of 100 patients with slow transit constipation were randomized to receive either a synbiotic or placebo twice daily for 12 weeks. The primary efficacy endpoints were the...

INTRODUCTION Urban life is often followed by immune dysfunction and loss of immune tolerance in the youngest children. OBJECTIVE The study aimed to determine optimal time efficiency of a synbiotic (5 x 10⁹ Lactobacillus acidophilus Rosell-52, Bifidobacterium infantis Rosell-33, Bifidobacterium bifidum Rosell-71) in controlling respiratory infections and wheezing disease. METHODS We randomly...

AIM We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a synbiotic containing Bacillus Coagulans in treatment of IBS. BACKGROUND Some studies have shown the efficacy of probiotics in the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). PATIENTS AND METHODS Adult IBS patients (n=85) were randomized to receive a synbiotic containing Bacillus Coagulans or placebo for 12 weeks. Frequency of IBS symptoms includin...

in this study, the effect of retentate and whey protein concentrate in different concentrations on the properties of low fat synbiotic yoghurt was studied. retentate samples containing different concentrations of the three concentrations ( 0.5 , 0.75 and 1 %) and whey protein concentrate ( 0.2 , 0.3 and 0.4 %) were prepared and characterized in terms of physicochemical , rheological and sensory...
