Description
Combining prebiotics and probiotics to enhance microbial growth and product quality during fermentation.
Technical
Prebiotic oligosaccharides serve as selective substrates for probiotic microbes, lowering pH and shifting metabolic flux toward acetate production while suppressing ethanol synthesis. The resulting acidification and carbon source modulation improve flavor, texture, and probiotic viability.
Science
Primary Reaction
Fermentation of sugars by probiotic microorganisms in the presence of prebiotic oligosaccharides, producing organic acids and modulating metabolic pathways.
