The Solactis® team was pleased with the publication of the second editions of The Prebiotics and Probiotics Handbook which includes an entire chapter on Solactis® galactofructose.
The Prebiotics and Probiotics Handbook was published for the first time in 2000 and has become a reference for players in the food industry who seek information on prebiotics and probiotics.
The growth of the functional food market, the evolution of know-how in the field of prebiotics and probiotics, and the overwhelming interest in a wide variety of applications required an update of knowledge and enhancements.
This new edition not only contains sections on prebiotics and probiotics which have been revised, but also a new section dedicated specifically to symbiotics and the examination of new regulatory requirements.
The various chapters provide information on the general characteristics, technological applications, health effects and the regulatory implications of prebiotics, probiotics and symbiotics.
A whole chapter is dedicated entirely to galactofructose, dealing with aspects of inuline and oligofructose on the one hand, and galacto-oligosaccharides on the other. This is in fact an update of the scope of knowledge that Solvay has to offer with this ingredient and its potential to develop further in the agri-food industry and promote healthy food products.
