Probiotics: Microorganisms for health.

🥛🦠 When talking about “probiotics,” many people are familiar with them being found in fermented milk or yogurt. However, probiotics come in many different types, and some may be unfamiliar to you. Today, the Science Library of the Department of Science Service will introduce you to probiotics in more detail. 🦠 Probiotics are microscopic living microorganisms that reside in the body. They are naturally found in the intestines and can survive acidic and alkaline conditions in the digestive system. They can adhere to the intestinal lining and produce substances that inhibit harmful microorganisms. When present in appropriate amounts, probiotics help maintain normal bodily functions, stimulate the immune system, and prevent diseases caused by harmful microbes. 🦠 Important types of probiotics for the body include: Lactobacillus:A type of bacteria that attaches to the intestinal lining and is found in the digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems. It helps prevent intestinal problems such as diarrhea caused by infections or lactose intolerance. It also helps prevent urinary tract infections, fungal infections, vaginal inflammation, skin inflammation, and respiratory infections.Common sources include fermented foods, yogurt, and fermented milk.

Sourdough: A technology for producing healthy bread.

👀 Have you ever heard of the term “sourdough”? In the baking world, it is commonly used to make bread. Sourdough bread is made using a natural starter culture. Well-known examples include baguette and ciabatta. Did you know that sourdough not only helps make bread but also provides many health benefits? Today, the Science Library of the Department of Science Service will introduce you to sourdough in more detail—let’s take a look 🔍👇🏻 🥖 Sourdough is produced by fermenting flour from cereals or legumes with water, such as wheat flour, rye flour, barley flour, spelt flour, corn flour, and quinoa flour. The natural microorganisms formed during fermentation include lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and yeast. In the past, natural yeast in sourdough was mainly used to help bread rise. However, recent studies highlight sourdough’s advantages in extending shelf life, enhancing nutritional value, and providing health benefits, including: 🥖 Increasing antioxidant properties and reducing antinutritional compounds🥖 Lowering the glycemic response and insulin response🥖 Enhancing the bioavailability of dietary fiber in flour🥖 Increasing certain vitamins, such as vitamin B1 (thiamine) and vitamin B2 (riboflavin) However, although sourdough bread offers many nutritional benefits, excessive consumption may have negative effects, such as high glycemic index…
