Probiotics in Processed Dairy Products and Their Role in Gut Microbiota Health
Probiotics are the beneficial microorganisms, catalase negative which restore microbial balance inside the gut of humans as well as animals. Lactobacillus the earliest probiotic that have the beneficial impact on health. These “Good Microorganisms” can be obtained not only from various non-dairy products but also from processed dairy products like. Another economically viable method is microencapsulation for preserving probiotics and the stability is improved by glucose. Even the vitamins manufacturer the probiotic bacterial agents. The health benefits of probiotics include increased immunological responses, relief of lactose intolerance symptoms, therapy for diarrhea, reduction in serum of cholesterol, production of vitamin, anticarcinogenic. Probiotics play a wide range in the host body (e.g., decreasing illnesses and stress, enhancing immunity, modulation of gut microbiota, nutritional assistance, improving quality of water, etc.). So, the positive effects of probiotics help to boost animal feed value and growth and improve aquaculture breeding and hatching rates. Probiotics can lower the prevalence and severity of illnesses, showing their promise to cure or prevent COVID-19. Lactobacillus casei also interact with epithelial cells with Toll-like receptors (TLRs) to improve the production of cytokines that are important in the enhancement of cell productivity and prevent apoptosis during restoration, which promote survival and proliferation. The preservation of the human GI or lung microbiota might help prevent COVID-19, as dysbiosis plays an essential role in people’s vulnerability to infectious illnesses. Most of the experimental studies proved that bacteria isolated from processed dairy products belonged to lactic acid bacteria and are declared as probiotic bacteria. In present review, various research studies regarding significance of probiotics as well as their extraction from processed dairy products are discussed.
