Authoritative release of "Research Status and Industrial Application of Postbiotics"

News from this website (Reporter Lian He) As a new concept emerging in the past two years, post-surgical life has attracted widespread attention in the industry once it was put forward

Viewpoint 1 The definition and scope of postbiotics are still being improved and expanded

Based on the current status of scientific research and industrial applications, epibiotics are inactivated microorganisms and/or bacterial components with clear genetic background, including or not including their metabolites, which are beneficial to the health of the host

Viewpoint 2 The security of postbiotics is a necessary condition for its industrial application

Based on the current research status, research and development of postbiotics, it is recommended to give priority to microorganisms that have completed safety evaluation and are generally recognized as safe, and analyze the characteristic components and safety of the prepared postbiotics.

Viewpoint 3 Postbiotic health effects need to be scientifically evidence-based

Current studies have found that the main part of epigenetics is in the intestine, which has many health effects such as regulating immunity, improving constipation and irritable bowel syndrome.

Opinion 4 Postbiotic health effects are strain-specific

The source of microorganisms for the preparation of postbiotics is not limited to probiotics, and the selected strains must have clear genetic background and biological characteristics and are generally recognized as safe

Opinion 5 Characteristic material components for postbiotic health effects need to be clarified

Postbiotics are a mixture of multiple components such as inactivated microorganisms and bacterial components.
