Abstract

Among the products of functional nutrition, special attention is paid to probiotic cultured milk foods. When selecting these products, it is necessary to focus on the characteristics of the probiotic strains that make up their composition: microorganisms must be live, safe to use, viable and stable when stored, and also capable of surviving in the human gastrointestinal tract. The use of probiotic cultured milk foods should have a positive effect on human health: to have a proven anti-infective effect, to have immune modulating properties, to promote the normalization of gastrointestinal motility. The above provisions must be confirmed by controlled studies.
