Handbook of Probiotics and Prebiotics cover

Since the publication of the first edition in 1999, the science of probiotics and prebiotics has matured greatly and garnered more interest. The first handbook on the market, Handbook of Probiotics and Prebiotics: Second Edition updates the data in its predecessor, and it also includes material topics not previously discussed in the first edition, including methods protocols, cell line and animal models, and coverage of prebiotics. The editors supplement their expertise by bringing in international experts to contribute chapters. This second edition brings together the information needed for the successful development of a pro- or prebiotic product from laboratory to market.

"Overall this is a useful handbook. Its primary aim, i.e. to put together the newest information and technology required to develop a successful pro- or prebiotic product from the laboratory to the market, is accomplished in my opinion." (Beneficial Microbes, September 2010)

"This is a timely and highly informative production that will serve as a valuable resource for students, newcomers and active researchers in gut microbiology, food microbiology and biotherapeutics.... Highly recommended." (Microbiology Today, May 2009)
