Springer Metabiotics: Present State, Challenges and Perspectives - Springer

This comprehensive research text from Springer explores the emerging field of metabiotics, designed for students, researchers, nutritionists, and food technology developers. Metabiotics represent an innovative approach to health and nutrition, utilising components of cells, metabolites, and signalling molecules derived from probiotic strains to optimise host-specific physiological functions beyond the capabilities of traditional probiotics. The book provides an in-depth examination of metabiotics history, manufacturing processes, design methodologies, and functional classifications. It includes detailed coverage of gut microbiota composition and function, alongside discussion of target-specific development strategies. This resource serves as an essential reference for understanding how metabiotics are engineered to deliver enhanced health benefits and their potential applications across nutritional science and medical practice.
