The way out of probiotics in past and present life
Source: Behance Author: Ge de Jesus “Have you drunk today?” “Did you have more Yakult today?” When mentioning the lactic acid bacteria drink, the first thing that popped out of my mind was Yakult, “a red bottle is going to the world”. In 1935, Yakult’s (Yakult) , the founder of the group, Yoshiro Daida, MD, developed the world’s first bottle of “live bacteria lactic acid bacteria milk drink” As a result, it has become the world’s most popular live lactic acid bacteria milk drink. Every day, about 35 million people of different skin colors experience the probiotic health law advocated by Yakult. Past Life: Probiotics = Prebiotics? Not “Probiotics” in English is “Probiotics”, which is derived from the Greek “pro bios”, which means For life-that is, lifelong, probiotic meaning. According to the definition of the World Health Organization and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, probiotics are living microorganisms that, when ingested in sufficient quantities, have a beneficial effect on the host. The lactic acid bacteria in Yakult, which we are familiar with, are the main types of probiotics, and the prebiotics that people often say are the nutrients of probiotics, which have beneficial effects on the body by promoting the growth and reproduction of probiotics. Probiotics have the functions of regulating the homeostasis, enhancing the body’s immune function, and maintaining human health. However, excessive probiotics are also at risk and may cause imbalance in the intestinal flora. Therefore, the proportion of probiotics is highly correlated with human health. This life: nearly 100 billion US dollars global market In 1935, lactic acid beverage Yakult was launched, and probiotics began to move to industrialization. In the following years, the industry application of probiotics continued to flourish. In recent years, probiotic products in the market have been inundated. From yogurt to chocolate, from medicine to dietary supplements, probiotic products are increasingly accepted and recognized by consumers. Chess came to the big health industry, and the probiotic market developed rapidly. From the perspective of the global probiotic consumer market, the size of the probiotic consumer market has continued to grow.

In recent years, the consumption trend has revolved several times around health foods and probiotic functional drinks. Consumer preferences are reflected on the industrial side, and more and more probiotic application categories are emerging. From the perspective of application, the downstream products of the probiotic industry can be divided into three major categories: 1. A functional food with probiotics participating in fermentation and adding active probiotics at a later stage. Including yogurt, lactic acid bacteria drinks, probiotics, soy beans, fudge, etc. This is the category with the largest proportion of the entire probiotic market. 2. Dietary supplements.

In addition to the three major types of products, daily chemical products have also developed into various product forms. Such as skin care products and mouthwash. Functional foods and daily necessities are the product categories that venture capital companies are involved in. In this part, we will take a detailed inventory of their new development trends. Probiotic functional drinks and foods: segmentation, specialty, mix and match With the continuous breakthrough of scientific research related to probiotics, the technological innovation of probiotics in the selection and breeding of their superior strains and industrial applications has promoted the widespread application of probiotics in dairy products, traditional foods and health foods. In the traditional beverage and food market, the main focus is on intestinal health and immune function improvement. Today, the development of probiotic functional foods shows two major trends. The first is the specialization in efficacy: consumers first consumed lactic acid bacteria beverages, and later developed to consume fermented milk, etc., the effects of probiotics (Concentration) gradual increase; Second is the functional subdivision: the function of probiotics was first to regulate the intestinal tract, and later developed to regulate weight, treat periodontitis, improve hay fever, and other functions.

These functionally specific yogurts have been widely sought after by consumers. Functional yogurt with different segmentation functions People are paying more attention to human health, and functional snacks are also expanding. In addition to yoghurt, international probiotic functional foods have developed in various ways, from black artisans, vegetable slices to baked goods. For example, Qwrkee puffs have added probiotics to the ingredients. They are made of pea protein, broad beans and sorghum. Each 100 grams of “puffs” contain 5 billion probiotics. Bouchard Belgian’s dark chocolate contains 1 billion Live probiotics have a longer shelf life than probiotic yogurt, support the immune system, and are rich in natural antioxidants.
