CHAPTER ONE
1.0 Introduction
Pribiotics are food ingredients that induce growth or activity of beneficial microorganisms (e.g. bacteria and fungi, (Hutkins et al., 2016). The most common example is in the gastrointenstinal tracts, where prebiotic can alter the composition of organisms in the gut microbiome. In diet, prebiotics are typically non-digestible fiber compounds that pass undigested through the upper part of the gastrointestinal tract and stimulate the growth or activity of advantageous bacteria that colonize the large bowel by acting as substrate for them (Sanders et al., 2016).
