Functional Food Ingredients for gut health:evolving thinking and future prospects
by Prof R A Rastall (Department of Food and Nutritional Sciences, The University of Reading)
Date :25 September 2009 Time:13.30 - 14.30 hrs Venue: Faculty of Agriculture - Room 3.3 Organised by: Faculty of Agriculture
ABSTRACT
Functional food ingredients for gut health: evolving thinking and future prospects
Prof. R.A. Rastall, Department of Food and Nutritional Sciences, The University of Reading, PO Box 226, Whiteknights, Reading, RG6 6AP.
The idea that the vastly complex microbial ecosystem in the human colon has a profound impact on health is now gaining widespread acceptance in the scientific community and with the food and healthcare industries. Recent research is illuminating the intricate interactions between microbes in the colon, their metabolites and human metabolism.
Consequent to this, there is increasing interest in the development of functional food ingredients to modulate the colonic microbiota and its metabolic profile to promote health. The traditional means to achieve this has been by the administration of live bacterial supplements, or probiotics. Whilst there is accumulating evidence that specific, carefully selected bacterial strains can have health benefits, it is not possible to bring about large changes in the colonic microbiota this way. Twelve years ago the concept of prebiotics was introduced. These are food ingredients, supplements or components that escape digestion in the small intestine and reach the colon largely intact. They are then selectively fermented by health-positive members of the colonic microbiota. All recognised prebiotics are carbohydrates with fructo-oligosaccharides, inulin and galacto-oligosaccharides being the only prebiotics on the European market. There are a much wider range of oligosaccharides recognised as prebiotic in Japan and many more are being investigated for their potential.
Much of the early work in this area has focused on increasing the relative populations of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli. These are non-pathogenic species with a range of recognised health-positive attributes including inhibition of intrinsic and extrinsic pathogens, modulation of immunity and synthesis of vitamins. The health attributes of these organisms are still being explored in the laboratory and in human volunteer trials. Recent thinking, however, has focussed increasingly on the metabolites produced by the colonic microbiota and the impact of these metabolites on health is currently being studied. This widening of emphasis is stimulating debate over the definition of prebiotics.
The evolving view of prebiotic function, coupled with new insights into the structure-function relationships in prebiotic oligosaccharides is providing opportunities for development of novel functional carbohydrates. Enzyme-based technologies are being brought to bear on the challenge of manufacturing enhanced forms of prebiotic food ingredient.
This talk will examine the evolving view of what is meant by a prebiotic and examine the prospects for development of functionally enhanced carbohydrates.
