Prebiotic Related Services

Prebiotics are highly regarded for their significant physiological functions and health benefits. Creative Enzymes is committed to applying our science to create a wider range of prebiotic products and gain insight into their potential to provide health benefits to a global audience.

What Are Prebiotics

Prebiotics are defined as products or ingredients used in the microbiome to produce health effects or performance benefits. It is well known that adding beneficial ingredients to the diet plays an important role in improving the intestinal flora. The intestinal flora is responsible for maintaining the good health of the individual as well as the homeostasis of these microorganisms. The health of microbes in the gut is directly affected by prebiotic intake. Prebiotics are food sources of gut microbes, which can nourish the communities of microorganisms affected during intestinal dysbiosis under disease conditions.

Benefits of Prebiotics

Prebiotics cannot be absorbed by the body and cannot act directly on the body, but exert physiological functions through probiotics. The benefits of prebiotics are extensive, and numerous studies help to understand how prebiotics work. At present, we have identified the benefits of prebiotics mainly include the following.

• Improving digestion and help with bowel movements.
• Promoting normal colonic transit time.
• Production of short-chain fatty acids.
• Enhancing mineral absorption.
• Facilitating the regulation of lipid levels.
• Improving intestinal mucosal barrier and immune function.
• Effects on glucose and insulin levels.
• Affects mood, memory, learning and some psychiatric disorders by altering the activity and/or composition of the gut microbiota.
• Increasing the production of beneficial bacteria and reduce harmful bacteria that cause disease.

Our Services

To commercialize prebiotics, multiple factors need to be considered, including source acquisition, functional component determination, physiological evaluation, carrier (food matrix) identification, bioavailability studies. All of these factors require research and input from industry, scientists and regulators. As a leading industry partner, Creative Enzymes provides one-stop prebiotic development and evaluation services to our clients, helping them obtain time- and cost-effective prebiotic solutions.

Production and Identification of Prebiotics

Prebiotics act as selective utilization substrates for host microorganisms, imparting health benefits. Creative Enzymes' extensive expertise allows us to develop prebiotic ingredients for our clients to meet their demands for any application. Our prebiotic isolation and identification services mainly include the development and exploration of new potential sources of prebiotic, the isolation of prebiotic components obtained through different techniques, and the characterization and measurement of their effectiveness.

Functional Assessment of Prebiotics

In order to smoothly deliver prebiotics into the intestines, they need to be incorporated into functional foods and given dosage forms, and these processes may affect the efficacy of prebiotics. This effect is usually multifactorial, including the influence of the food matrix, the impact of the manufacturing process, the mode of transportation and storage, and the mode of administration, etc. Creative Enzymes uses a variety of advanced technologies combined with in vitro and in vivo models to truly evaluate the health benefits of prebiotics, helping our clients to better apply and develop relevant functional foods.
