Sažetak
Functional food is considered as acceptable way to improve health and prevent diseases, and includes products that contain probiotics and prebiotics with target action on gut microflora. Prebiotics are obtained from plants or they can be synthesized from starch and other carbohydrates using appropriate enzymes. Bacteria of Laktobacillus spp. and Bifidobacterium spp. in intestines ferment prebiotics and make various metabolites and biologically active compounds that favourably affect the condition of the colon, absorption of minerals, immune system, lipid metabolism, and they have anticancer activity. This paper shows different types of prebiotics and results of research on their impact on health which has been conducted last ten years.
