Polyphenols are also probiotics! The era of probiotic "war" has come

When we mention probiotics, what is your first reaction? For people who know something about probiotics, the first reaction should often be "fibre". There is nothing wrong with that. Even the probiotic definition revised by the U.S.
FDA
inisby selectively stimulating the growth or activity of one or more bacteria in the gut, helping the host better digest the food ingredient
"
, or fiber. At the same time,
.S.
.S. ADA has also
polysaccharose as
"
commonly used
"
probiotics to lead consumers.fact, this definition is still a problem. As the study progressed, scientists found that some probiotics did not need the help of fiber-like probiotics, but rather other ingredients, such as polyphenols. Studies have found that polyphenols have probiotic potential in addition to a variety of health benefits. Although not many studies have been made in this area, and this role has just been discovered, its future has potential implications for formula design and product development.polyphenols: health protection all-rounderpolyphenols are naturally occurring oxidizing substances in plants, widely found in fruits and vegetables, tea, grapes and wine, chocolate and olives and other common products, has been identified more than
8000
kinds of polyphenols, is the second largest compound after carbohydrates, which contains a variety of gin, lime, phenolic acid and flavonoids. Polyphenols are protective of plants, and studies have shown that polyphenols play a vital role in promoting the vitality, health and health of plants and animals.for humans, polyphenols can play a protective role in cardiovascular health, cancer prevention, metabolism, blood sugar management, cognitive health, joint and bone health, weight management, anti-inflammatory, and newly discovered intestinal health.new field of probioticsyears, limited by scientific research, probiotics have long been limited to fiber. In recent years, the probiotic benefits of polyphenols have attracted industry attention.
2016
, the International Association for Probiotics and Probiotic Science has expanded the definition and scope of probiotics to include non-carbohydrates and, of course, polyphenols.recent studies have shown that polyphenols play an important role in promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut and improving intestinal health. In general, poor absorption of nutrients is a defect, but as a probiotic, poor absorption of polyphenols can be an advantage. Unlike fiber "feeding probiotics", the probiotic effect of polyphenols is achieved by stimulating the growth of beneficial microbiomes while inhibiting pathogenic bacteria. At the same time, polyphenols also have anti-adhesion activity on harmful pathogens.While the researchers focused on flavonoids, flavonoids, anthocyanins and cerium polyphenols found in fruits, vegetables, red wine and green tea,

said it was time for the compoundsto move because cranberries came and showed the benefits of probiotics to the gut
"
.Dophenol probiotics: Cranberries Currently, researchers' research on polyphenols focuses on flavonoids, anthotins and cerium from sources such as fruits, vegetables, red wine and green tea, and the benefits of these ingredients are also focused on the "antioxidant"-based effects of these ingredients. There is rare concern for intestinal health. An in-depth study of cranberns led to the health effects of polyphenols on intestinal health.study, published in the International Journal of Food Science and Technology, compared the probiotic effects of
Fruit d'Or
's proprietary cranberry seed powder with Sabinsa
FOS
fiber. The study used coagulated spores
MTCC 5856
as experimental bacteria. The results showed that when cranberry seed powder was used as the sole source of nutrition, the count of active coagulation spores
MTCC5856
increased, indicating that bacteria could ferment cranberry seed powder. The study also found that cranberry seed powder inhibited the growth of E. coli under anaerobic conditions and promoted the growth of coagulation spores
MTCC 5856
. This shows that cranberry seed powder is beneficial to the proliferation of probiotics in the gastrointestinal intestine. Finally, in vitro gastric acid and trypsin digestion tests showed that although pancreatic enzymes had the same digestion ability to cranberry seed powder as
FOS
, cranberry seed powder was stronger than
FOS
in terms of resistance to stomach acid.analysis, the key to this effect of cranberry seed powder is that it is a natural food source. The powder contains
20%-25%
protein,
50%
fiber, and all essential amino acids. It also includes insoluble
containing
at least 3% of the water. This means that cranberry seed powder provides the necessary carbon, nitrogen, amino acids and energy for strain growth and proliferation. Therefore, cranberry seed powder can also be
as
"probiotic superfood
"
.study strongly expanded the concept and scope of probiotics, including polyphenols into the category of probiotics. At the same time, the study also showed that the health benefits of polyphenols are expected to be related to the role of microorganisms and the resulting metabolites, not necessarily the polyphenol molecules themselves. , however, the biggest problem with polyphenols as probiotics is the limited number of studies available and the need for more research to confirm their potential as probiotics. In addition, the use of polyphenols in probiotic products requires extensive formulation research and testing, and the level of product claims and use needs to be evaluated by research data. For the final product, it is more necessary to develop new products in line with consumer expectations, such as carrier situation, easy to use, good results and so on. However, polyphenol probiotic products have begun to be developed, such as: Sabinza has combined its
LactoSpore
probiotics and cranberry seed powder into a new type of heterogeneum products, is expected to have a new breakthrough in the heshengyuan market; Fruitd'Or
Nutrition Products combines its own cranberry juice with semi-lactose polysaccharine to support urinary tract health and dual health benefits; Fruitd'Or
is working with the U.S. National Agricultural Group to develop a new formula for green banana-resistant starch and cranberry seed powder. Green banana-sourced resistant starch, a natural probiotic fiber that provides protein and amino acids when combined with cranberry seed powder, Sabinsa has introduced a mixture of coagulated spore probiotics and cranberry green banana powder for use in nutrition bars, yogurts, smoothies, milkshakes and other dairy products. The product is expected
be available
mid-2018. as the probiotic effects of polyphenols are confirmed by more studies, it is expected that more probiotics rich in polyphenol-rich functional ingredients will also be discovered and excavated, and more super-new products are about to enter the market. Probiotic yuan, will no longer be "the world of fiber", probiotic yuan market "war" era is coming.
