Abstract
Background
Since the discovery and characterization of Bacteroides xylanisolvens a decade ago, the probiotic effects of B. xylanisolvens, including immune regulation, metabolic modulation and maintenance of intestinal health, have been extensively investigated.
Scope and approach
This review summarizes the characterization and safety assessment of Bacteroides xylanisolvens, as well as the dietary and pharmaceutical determinants of its intestinal abundance. Additionally, it is also discussed that the bioactive metabolites produced by B. xylanisolvens and their associated mechanisms in improving host health and disease.
Key findings and conclusions
B. xylanisolvens is a microorganism with development potential. The European Commission has approved the use of B. xylanisolvens in pasteurized dairy products, which possesses extensive probiotic properties. The beneficial effects of B. xylanisolvens are closely related to γ-Aminobutyric acid, tryptophan metabolites, short-chain fatty acids, and folate production. These bioactive metabolites can protect the intestinal barrier, improve metabolic diseases, and regulate immune responses. Moreover, multiple studies indicates that B. xylanisolvens is related to the host's health and plays an important role in the improvement of diseases. Therefore, elucidating the interaction between B. xylanisolvens and the host will increase our understanding of its impact on human health and provide new insights for it to become the next-generation probiotic.
期刊介绍:
Trends in Food Science & Technology is a prestigious international journal that specializes in peer-reviewed articles covering the latest advancements in technology, food science, and human nutrition. It serves as a bridge between specialized primary journals and general trade magazines, providing readable and scientifically rigorous reviews and commentaries on current research developments and their potential applications in the food industry.
Unlike traditional journals, Trends in Food Science & Technology does not publish original research papers. Instead, it focuses on critical and comprehensive reviews to offer valuable insights for professionals in the field. By bringing together cutting-edge research and industry applications, this journal plays a vital role in disseminating knowledge and facilitating advancements in the food science and technology sector.
