| Sumario: | <p id="p1">This chapter explores the potential of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) as postbiotic supplements, focusing on their role in promoting wellness. LABs are known for their fermentation abilities, adaptability across bacterial taxa, and widespread ability in various environments. Postbiotics, described as inanimate microorganisms or their components providing health benefits, are highlighted for their safety compared to live probiotics. Ongoing research efforts to transform LAB into postbiotics, their roles in maintaining health, and their impact on gut microbiota are discussed. The chapter also examines how fermentation substrates influence probiotic metabolites, emphasizing postbiotics’ stability and practical applications—encouraging further research into postbiotics’ therapeutic potential.</p> |
