Abstract

---

Macroalgae are seaweeds, which are often consumed as much as food in Asian countries. Studies have been made that carbohydrate compounds such as oligosaccharides and polysaccharides can be considered as prebiotics. Prebiotics are nutrient sources of probiotics that defined as useful microorganisms in the gastrointestinal tract especially. With the positive effects of prebiotics on probiotics, the gastointestinal system and thus all body systems are kept in a healthy balance. This review provides brief information about probiotics, prebiotics and is a pioneer in the studies on the evaluation of macroalgae as prebiotics in our country.

Makroalglerin prebiyotik etkileri

Abstract

---

Makroalgler, genellikle Asya ülkelerinde diğer besinler kadar tüketilmektedir. İçerdikleri oligosakkarit ve polisakkarit gibi karbonhidrat bileşiklerin, prebiyotikler olarak değerlendirilebileceği yönünde çalışmalar yapılmıştır. Prebiyotikler özellikle gastrointestinal sistemde bulunan faydalı mikroorganizmalar olarak tanımladığımız probiyotiklerin besin kaynaklarıdır. Prebiyotiklerin probiyotikler üzerinde oluşturdukları pozitif etkiler ile gastointestinal sistem ve dolayısı ile tüm vücut sistemleri sağlıklı bir dengede tutulmaktadır. Bu derleme, probiyotikler, prebiyotikler hakkında kısa bilgiler vermektedir ve yurdumuzda makroalglerin prebiyotikler olarak değerlendirilmesi yönünde planlanan çalışmalar için öncü bir çalışmadır.
