Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The food industry has developed innovative products containing probiotics, prebiotics, synbiotics, and postbiotics; however, research challenges still exist, such as understanding the impacts of development, processing, and storage on the functionality of biotic food. 

We are excited to invite researchers and experts to submit their research to this Special Issue, titled "Advances in the Development of Biotic Foods: Probiotics, Prebiotics, Synbiotics, and Postbiotics". This Special Issue will provide an overview of the current state of the field and future perspectives. It will include recent research and review articles covering the impact of development, processing, and storage on biotic food functionality. The list is not exhaustive; other relevant topics will also be considered.

- Biotic food development
- Innovative processing of biotics
- Fermented foods
- Scale-up
- The effects of processing biotics on gut microbiota
- Processing and storage of biotics
