Bookeditors, Marcela Albuquerque Cavalcanti de Albuquerque, Alejandra de Moreno de LeBlanc, Jean Guy LeBlanc, and Raquel Bedani.
Summary: "The book deals with advances made in the functionalities of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) such as, their effect on vitamin D receptor expression, impact on neurodegeneratives pathologies, production of B-vitamins for food bio-enrichment, production of bacteriocins to improve gut microbiota dysbiosis, production of metabolites from polyphenols and their effects on human health, effect on reducing the immunoreaction of food allergens, as biological system using time-temperature to improve food safety, and the use of probiotic in animal feed. The book also reviews the use of LAB and probiotics technologies to develop new functional foods and functional pharmaceutical"-- Provided by publisher.
