The role of functional foods based on probiotics in improving fertility: A review1
Many foods are described as “functional foods”. However, the term is poorly defined. A commonly used definition is that they contain substances that have positive effects on health “beyond basic nutrition”. On a global scale, significant emphasis has been placed on their ingestion as a cost-effective and safer alternative for the prevention, treatment, and management of various health-related issues, including reproductive challenges such as infertility. Infertility represents a condition that is notably common among certain married couples and is characterized by the inability to conceive following approximately twelve months of unprotected sexual intercourse between heterosexual partners. There are different types of functional foods that can have effects that improve fertility in couples, including Animal-derived functional foods, Plant-derived functional foods, and Microbial functional foods (based on probiotics). Functional foods based on probiotics produced through fermentation, which include kefir, yogurt, cheese and fermented milk. This review highlights the possible role of functional foods based on probiotics in improving fertility.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Functional Foods continues with the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review. We give authors the possibility to publish their top-quality papers in a well-established leading journal in the food and nutrition fields. The Journal will keep its rigorous criteria to screen high impact research addressing relevant scientific topics and performed by sound methodologies.
The Journal of Functional Foods aims to bring together the results of fundamental and applied research into healthy foods and biologically active food ingredients.
The Journal is centered in the specific area at the boundaries among food technology, nutrition and health welcoming papers having a good interdisciplinary approach. The Journal will cover the fields of plant bioactives; dietary fibre, probiotics; functional lipids; bioactive peptides; vitamins, minerals and botanicals and other dietary supplements. Nutritional and technological aspects related to the development of functional foods and beverages are of core interest to the journal. Experimental works dealing with food digestion, bioavailability of food bioactives and on the mechanisms by which foods and their components are able to modulate physiological parameters connected with disease prevention are of particular interest as well as those dealing with personalized nutrition and nutritional needs in pathological subjects.
