Abstract
Interest in consumption of prebiotics and probiotics to improve human gastrointestinal health is increasing. Consumption of beneficial probiotic bacteria combined with oligosaccharides may enhance colonic bacterial composition and improve internal health. The objectives of this article are to review existing literature concerning the effect of synbiotic foods on the composition and activity of the colonic microbiota, and efficiency of functional attributes of synbiotic foods in formulation and development of new dairy products.
