In 2002, probiotic bacteria were defined by the FAO/WHO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations) as "living micro-organisms which, when administered in adequate quantities, exert a beneficial effect on the health of the host".

From a technological point of view, the probiotic strain must be able to be cultivated on a large scale, survive the various preparation and storage phases, and remain stable right up to the moment of use. In terms of functionality, the probiotic strain must preserve its beneficial effects on consumer health.

Probiotics are mainly bacteria, but yeast is also present. They have been consumed for a very long time, notably through dairy...
