Probiotik Definition
• In general, Probiotics are live micro-organisms (in most cases, bacteria) which are found identical to helpful micro-organisms found in the human intestine.
• According to the currently adopted definition by Food and Agriculture Organization /World Health Organization, probiotics are: ‘Live microorganisms which when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit on the host’.
• Probiotics are available in foods and dietary supplements (for example, capsules, tablets, and powders) and in some other forms as well.
• Examples of foods containing probiotics are yogurt, fermented and unfermented milk, miso, tempeh, and some juices and soy beverages
Types of Probiotic Bacteria
* Good Bacteria Examples Bifidobacterium,
Eubacterium, and Lactobacillus (Lactic acid bacteria).
* Bad or Pathogenic Bacteria Examples Clostridium, Salmonella,
Shigella, and Candida.
A few fermented pruducts containg lactic acid and having
probiotic effects :• Kefir• Yoghurt• Sauerkraut• Kimchi• Kombucha
Characteristics of good bacteria that can be used as probiotic agent, including:
1. Having antimicrobial activities2. Resistant to digestion tract selection
system3. Having anti carcinogenic activities4. Able to colonize in the intestinal tract 5. Able to improve intestinal absorption
Main functions of probiotic food :
• Maintain a balance of intestinal bacteria
• Reduce blood cholesterol level • Prevent the formation of cancer
cells• Helps the digestion of lactose
(sugar in milk)
Benefits of Probiotics
1. Maintaining a balance between pathogenic bacteria and good bacteria in the intestine
2. Help clean up the tract and produce vitamins
3. Help liver function in detoxifying 4. Prevent diarrhea, constipation and
allergies5. Reduce the possibility of allergic
reactions
6. Probiotik overcomes human indigestion problem
7. Prevents IBS ( Irritable bowel syndrome)
8. Increase the system’s immunity
The beneficial bacteria in the alimentary tract,
including : • Lactobacilus acidophilus• Lactobaciluus casei• Bifidobacterium bifidum• Bifidobacterium langum• Saccharomyces boulardii
•
Lactobacillus caseiLactobacillus bulgaricus
Bifidobacterium
Examples of pathogenic bacteria in the alimentary tract:
1. Staphylococcus aureus2. Salmonella : causes enteric fever and
gastroentritis 3. Shigella : causes shigellosis (Basher
dysentery)4. Vibrio cholerae 5. Clostridium botulinum6. Pseudomonas cocovenenans

Conclusion Conclusion
Probiotics are bacterias that are helpful to the human health especially for the human digestive system. Consumption of Probiotics will help the digestive system to funtion at its best.
