In November 2008, a group of scientists met at the 6th Meeting of the International Scientific Association of Probiotics and Prebiotics (ISAPP) in London, Ontario, Canada, to discuss the functionality of prebiotics. As a result of this, it was concluded that the prebiotic field is currently dominated by gastrointestinal events. However, in the future, it may be the case that other mixed microbial ecosystems may be modulated by a prebiotic approach, such as the oral cavity, skin and the… Expand

Prebiotics: Definition and protective mechanisms.
TLDR
Dietary prebiotics may exert immunomodulatory effects through microbiota-independent mechanisms that will require future investigations involving germ-free animal disease models, and require a revision of the current definition. Expand
Prebiotic mechanisms, functions and applications - A review
TLDR
The discussion suggested how prebiotics could move forward with a wider expansion of the concept, target populations, expanded microorganisms, health benefits, application of new technologies and improved consumer understanding being the main goals. Expand
Recent Development of Prebiotic Research—Statement from an Expert Workshop
TLDR
The outcome of a workshop where academic experts working in the field of prebiotic research met with scientists from industry covered three main topics: the evolution of thePrebiotic concept/definition; the gut modeling in vitro technology PolyFermS to study prebiotics effects; and the potential novel microbiome-modulating effects associated with vitamins. Expand
A Critical Look at Prebiotics Within the Dietary Fiber Concept.
This article reviews the current knowledge of the health effects of dietary fiber and prebiotics and establishes the position of prebiotics within the broader context of dietary fiber. Although the… Expand
Prebiotics: Definition, Types, Sources, Mechanisms, and Clinical Applications
TLDR
Health benefits of prebiotics and their safety, as well as their production and storage advantages compared to probiotics, they seem to be fascinating candidates for promoting human health condition as a replacement or in association with probiotics. Expand
Prebiotics and the health benefits of fiber: current regulatory status, future research, and goals.
TLDR
A developing body of evidence supports a role for prebiotics in reducing the risk and severity of GI infection and inflammation, including diarrhea, inflammatory bowel disease, and ulcerative colitis as well as bowel function disorders, including irritable bowel syndrome. Expand
Prebiotics in the Infant Microbiome: The Past, Present, and Future
TLDR
The latest clinical evidence regarding prebiotics and its role in gut immunity, allergy, infections, inflammation, inflammation and functional gastrointestinal disorders is discussed. Expand
Evaluation of potential prebiotics: a review
TLDR
Devised standard procedures for the evaluation and validation of prebiotic ingredients will boost confidence among the scientific community, approval of regulators, and acceptance from consumers on prebiotics and functional food science. Expand
The prebiotic concept and human health: a changing landscape with riboflavin as a novel prebiotic candidate?
TLDR
The basics of the prebiotics concept are reviewed with a discussion of recent attempts to refine the concept to open the door for novel prebiotic food ingredients, such as polyphenols, minerals and vitamins. Expand
Expert consensus document: The International Scientific Association for Probiotics and Prebiotics (ISAPP) consensus statement on the definition and scope of prebiotics
TLDR
The goal of this Consensus Statement is to engender appropriate use of the term 'prebiotic' by relevant stakeholders so that consistency and clarity can be achieved in research reports, product marketing and regulatory oversight of the category. Expand

Perspectives on the role of the human gut microbiota and its modulation by pro- and prebiotics
TLDR
Dietary intervention of the human gut microbiota is feasible and has been proven as efficacious in volunteer trials, and the health bonuses of such approaches offer the potential to manage many gut disorders prophylactically. Expand
Probiotics, prebiotics, and synbiotics: approaches for modulating the microbial ecology of the gut.
TLDR
An overview of how probiotics, prebiotics, and synbiotics may contribute toward nutritional modulation of the gut microecology, with emphasis on the neonatal intestine where appropriate is provided. Expand
Dietary modulation of the human colonic microbiota: updating the concept of prebiotics
TLDR
The future use of prebiotics may allow species-level changes in the microbiota, an extrapolation into genera other than the bifidobacteria and lactobacilli, and allow preferential use in disease-prone areas of the body. Expand
A Human Volunteer Study to Determine the Prebiotic Effects of Lactulose Powder on Human Colonic Microbiota
TLDR
Lactulose is shown to be an effective food-grade prebiotic for healthy adults particularly in sections of the community with low bifidobacterial populations and the value of the more direct, culture independent FISH technique in the microbial ecology of the gut has been demonstrated. Expand
The prebiotic properties of oligofructose at low intake levels
Abstract Oligofructose and inulin, which are increasingly used in human food preparations, are now recognised as important prebiotic agents influencing the microbial composition of the… Expand
The Effect of Probiotics on the Gut Micro-ecology of Farm Animals
TLDR
Fuller (1989) modified the definition to read ‘A live microbial feed supplement which beneficially affects the host animal by improving its intestinal microbial balance’, which stresses the viable nature of the probiotic and removes the confusion created by the word ‘substances’. Expand
Dietary modulation of the human colonic microbiota: introducing the concept of prebiotics.
TLDR
By combining the rationale of pro- and prebiotics, the concept of synbiotics is proposed to characterize some colonic foods with interesting nutritional properties that make these compounds candidates for classification as health-enhancing functional food ingredients. Expand
Influence of Dietary Neosugar on Selected Bacterial Groups of the Human Faecal Microbiota
TLDR
It is demonstrated that supplementing the diet with neosugar influences the relative abundances of selected bacteria with some of the changes consistent with those considered advantageous. Expand
Intestinal microflora of human infants and current trends for its nutritional modulation.
Diet, among other environmental and genetic factors, is currently recognised to have an important role in health and disease. There is increasing evidence that the human colonic microbiota can… Expand
The effect of a prebiotic supplemented formula on growth and stool microbiology of term infants.
TLDR
An infant formula containing prebiotic oligosaccharides is well tolerated, leads to normal somatic growth and suppresses the numbers of clostridia in the faeces with a trend for higher percentage of stool bifidobacteria and lower percentage of E. coli. Expand
