Slide Show: Probiotic Dairy Beverages

Traditionally, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were used to preserve foods, but in the last decades their use shifted to the field of probiotic products, in order to bring distinct health benefits. This slide show, adapted from chapter six of CRC Press’ e-book, “Development and Manufacture of Yogurt and Other Functional Dairy Products,” examines probiotics, their benefits and use within functional beverages.
