Abstract:
Nowadays, the intestinal microflora plays the important role in ensuring normal metabolism, no doubt. Therefore, biotechnological products and its metabolites are of particular importance. A man developed biotechnological product in the form of a biologically active additive based on fermented fiber (a mixture of dietary fibers bacterized with probiotic cultures of Bifidobacterium animalis, Bifidobacterium adolescentis, Lactobacillus acidophilus). The probiotic feature is the ability to ferment dietary fibers while staying alive in a specialized product. The formulation includes dietary fibers that stimulate the growth and bacteria reproduction, specifically, forming a target intestinal biotope. Along with traditional quality and safety research methods, the researchers used the method of high-performance liquid chromatography to determine the short-chain fatty acids content, playing a key role in the metabolic body processes, in fermented fiber. The formulation of the developed additive contains ingredients that form its properties. The determined regulated quality indicators are the following (in 30 g): dietary fiber – at least 20,000 mg; polypructosans – at least 2,200 mg; thiamine (B1) – 1.4 mg; riboflavin (B2) – 1.6 mg; pantothenic acid (B5) – 6 mg; pyridoxine (B6) – 2 mg; chromium – 50 mcg. The authors run the safety dietary supplements assessment, enabling to determine the shelf life – 12 months at a temperature of 25 °C and a relative humidity of no more than 60 %. Evidence-based medical studies confirm the functional orientation and effectiveness of the developed product. A man took the developed supplement one serving (15 g) twice a day (in the morning 30 minutes before meals and in the evening before bedtime). The administration course was 30 days. The data obtained indicate a positive impact of the biocomplex on the microbiota restoration, the local intestinal syndrome effect and the general condition of the body.
