Abstract

Prebiotics are short chain carbohydrates that are non-digestible by digestive enzymes in humans and selectively enhance the activity of some groups of beneficial bacteria. In the intestine, prebiotics are fermented by beneficial bacteria to produce short chain fatty acids. Prebiotics also render many other health benefits in the large intestine such as reduction of cancer risk and increase calcium and magnesium absorption. Prebiotics are found in several vegetables and fruits and are considered functional food components and present significant technological advantages. Their addition improves sensory characteristics such as taste and texture, and enhances the stability of foams, emulsions and mouthfeel in a large range of food applications. This contribution reviews prebiotic properties, sources, methods of prebiotic productions, safety concerns of prebiotics and health benefits

Prebiyotikler: Metabolizma İçin Önemli Bir Gıda Bileşeni

Abstract

Prebiyotikler, insanlarda sindirim enzimleri tarafından sindirilemeyen ve bazı faydalı bakteri gruplarının aktivitesini seçici olarak zenginleştiren kısa zincirli karbonhidratlardır. Bağırsaklarda, prebiyotikler, kısa zincirli yağ asidi üretmek için faydalı bakteriler tarafından fermente edilirler. Prebiyotikler kanser riskinin azaltılması ve kalsiyum ve magnezyum absorpsiyonunun artırılması gibi kalın bağırsaklarda diğer birçok sağlık üzerine faydalı etkilere sahiplerdir. Prebiyotikler birçok sebze ve meyvelerde bulunur ve önemli teknolojik avantaj sağlayan fonksiyonel gıda bileşenleri olarak düşünülmektedir. Onların eklenmesiyle süt ve ekmek gibi gıda uygulamalarında çok büyük miktarda tat ve doku gibi duyusal karakterler geliştirmektedir ve köpük, emülsiyon ve ağız hissi stabilitesi artmaktadır. Bu derlemede prebiyotiklerin özellikleri, kaynakları, üretim yolları, insanlar için güvenilir dozu ve sağlık üzerine etkisi anlatılmaktadır
