Abstract

With the emergence of a more health-conscious society, the role of probiotic bacteria in human health has gained considerable attention from both the consumer and the producer. Considerable controversy has been associated with the lack of scientific evidence for the probiotic concept. However, current scientifically based research efforts worldwide are now focusing on the development of high-quality probiotic products containing microorganisms preselected for specific probiotic characteristics.
