2023-06 Happy World Microbiome Day

On the occasion of the World Microbiome Day, EU Specialty Food Ingredients provides an overview of Selected Specialty Food Ingredients & their benefits for gut microbiome and health.

The field of microbiome research evolved rapidly over the past decades and has become a topic of great scientific and public interest. The EU Specialty Food Ingredients’ paper serves as a source of information about gut microbiome and selected specialty food ingredients, such as probiotics, prebiotics, dietary fibre, synbiotics and postbiotics. Thanks to the list of available scientific definitions of the various terms used in the field of microbiome, as well as references to scientific studies showing the beneficial effects of specialty food ingredients on gut microbiome, the paper represents another valuable source of information produced by EU Specialty Food Ingredients.
