Postbiotics is the general term for the bacterial components and metabolites retained by probiotics after inactivation treatment (such as high temperature, high pressure, radiation, etc.).It has the functions of stability, enhancing immunity, balancing gut microbiota, and regulating physiological functions. International authoritative institutions define it as a preparation of non-living microorganisms and/or bacterial components that are beneficial to the health of the host.
Advantages of Postbiotics
Postbiotics are the "enhanced, upgraded version" of probiotics! Multiple studies have shown that it can enhance the body's immunity, regulate gut microbiota, regulate metabolism, enhance epithelial barrier function, and promote skin health.
Preparation process
Postbiotics are made from inactivated probiotics and mainly undergo three steps: fermentation, inactivation, and post-processing. The preparation process is complex, mainly involving various techniques such as strain screening, fermentation process optimization, inactivation process, and processing process optimization.
Application
Compared to live probiotics, Postbiotics have advantages such as high safety, easy control of dosage, high stability, compatibility with other additives, and strong stress resistance. At present, Postbiotics has been favored by industries such as food and beverage. The food, beverage, and health product industries that mainly added probiotics before, such as cheese, yogurt, ice cream, and other non-dairy products, such as soybeans and fruit juice, are gradually being replaced by Postbiotics. At the same time, Postbiotics can also be added to medical fields such as medicine and health supplements.
