The World Health Organization defines probiotics as live bacteria that can play a beneficial role in the health of consumers by ingesting an appropriate amount.
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines probiotics as live bacteria that can play a beneficial role in the health of consumers by ingesting an appropriate amount. This contains three characteristics of probiotics:
That is, probiotics can resist various gastrointestinal digestive enzymes and reach the human intestines and stomach alive.
Probiotics must reach a certain dose to be effective.
Only those that are beneficial to human health can be regarded as probiotics.
The number of flora in our intestines is as high as 100 trillion, of which beneficial bacteria, harmful bacteria and neutral bacteria are present in our body in a certain proportion. When the human intestinal flora becomes unbalanced, it will weaken the body's ability to resist bacteria and viruses and break the balance of the immune system, resulting in a series of diseases. These diseases include: various diarrhea, inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome and other digestive diseases, diabetes, obesity, allergies, asthma and other immune diseases. When the human body is in a state of intestinal flora imbalance, scientific supplementation of probiotic preparations has been scientifically confirmed in the treatment of diarrhea, prevention of antibiotic-related diarrhea, and auxiliary treatment of inflammatory bowel disease and other digestive diseases.
What are the common probiotics?
Lactobacillus acidophilus: The main probiotics in the human small intestine can help digestion and prevent vaginal infections in women.
Bifidobacterium: Treat chronic diarrhea, relieve constipation, and improve human immunity.
Lactobacillus rhamnosus: prevent and treat diarrhea, prevent intestinal infections, and relieve lactose intolerance.
Lactobacillus casei: Promotes digestion, lowers blood pressure, lowers cholesterol, and relieves allergies.
Lactobacillus paracasei: prevent food allergies and acute diarrhea.
Lactobacillus plantarum: Regulate blood lipids and enhance immunity.
For people who need to supplement probiotics, it is not recommended to use yogurt instead of probiotics. It is recommended to choose non-liquid professional probiotic products under the guidance of a doctor.
Moreover, different probiotics have different effects, so you must “prescribe the right medicine” under the guidance of a doctor. Although there are no reports of serious side effects caused by long-term use of probiotics, it is generally recommended to take no more than 2 weeks. That is, long-term use is not recommended. People with healthy intestines do not need to take probiotics.
How to choose probiotics
The Naming and Characteristics of Restriction Endonucleases
Restriction enzymes, also known as restriction endonucleases, are enzymes that cut double-stranded DNA. Its cutting method is to cut the bond between the carbohydrate molecule and the phosphoric acid, and then create a nick on each of the two DNA strands without damaging the nucleotides and bases.Introduction to Classification and Application of Cellulase
The optimum pH of cellulase is generally 4.5 to 6.5, which acts on cellulose and products derived from cellulose. Microbial cellulase is of great significance in converting insoluble cellulose into glucose and destroying cell walls in fruit and vegetable juice to improve the yield of juice.Which Enzyme Preparations Are Often Used in Fruit and Vegetable Processing?
The so-called fruit and vegetable processing means to maximize the nutrient content of the fruit and vegetable through various processing methods, improve the edible value, and make the color, aroma and taste of the processed product more perfect.
